I'd imagine a mixed response on this one, but for me, it looks absolutely stunning!

Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

What are your opinions on UK price? £10K!?

Thought it was nearer £20,000???

cedargrove · 7 May 2011, 10:42 PM

I've always thought this was a nice looking watch. Don't know much about the price, but I understand it comes with a somewhat complicated movement.

RJC · 7 May 2011, 10:45 PM

$25,000, so just over £15,000

CEG · 7 May 2011, 10:47 PM

OUCH

VERY TRUE! Out of my league Tony!

If priced over $20,000, I think they will sit in the display case for a very long time...

snowbird · 8 May 2011, 12:34 AM

Yes I think the price is way too high for what it is. It's not far from the price for an all gold Sub, GMT, DD etc. so I don't think they will sell many of these YM IIs.

freaking beautiful!!!!!!!

Roxas · 8 May 2011, 01:00 AM

Too expensive.

MikeJaye · 8 May 2011, 01:03 AM

I actually don't mind the looks of the YM II and have always quite liked rose gold so if money was no object I wouldn't say no to the TT version. Unfortunately a euro millions windfall isn't on the horizon so it's not something I'd really consider in the real world.

MortgageGuy · 8 May 2011, 01:07 AM

I think it is a beauty but for $20k+ I will pass

Honestly, this watch is totally out of my price range, but beautiful watch nevertheless!

3. I like it, but I'd rather save up a little longer and grab a DD....

TTmax · 8 May 2011, 06:33 AM

116681 TT YM2 Rolesor list price is 20250€ in France and 24500 ChF in Switzerland.

Welshwatchman · 8 May 2011, 06:42 AM

Early in 2011 I was offered a mint WG YM II for a trade against a couple of my watches or £14,750 cash with no trade.

It was a big impressive beast but ultimately, not for me.

The TT version for more makes no sense to me.

Abid · 8 May 2011, 06:45 AM

Don't think I'll be acquiring this one for a very long time.

Snowbird probably doesn't live in a yachting mecca.

Well . . . it's a nice watch and the timing functionality is an achievement for a mechanical watch . . . however, IMO the TT is priced too high and despite what the Rolex advertising says, I don't believe this watch is widely used in sailboat racing. You can get better functionality from a digital watch for that.

I personally think it's a big chunk of ugly.

However--it is in no way overpriced. The movement is a marvel. Rotating the bezel to control the countdown timer? How cool is that!
