I got one of these for my better-half, a mid-size one - fab watch.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the bezel solid platinum too?

Super picture again, Jocke.

By the way, JJ's already covered off the fact that the bezel is all Platinum, but what are the polished central links of the bracelet made of, Stainless Steel?

Thanks for the info, Jocke.

It's amazing how the guys at Rolex are able to make that steel look SO good. The YM is so well made that it is difficult to tell which parts are Platinum and which are Stainless.

It really is a gorgeous watch, Jocke and I look forward to some more of your stunning shots in due course of this great timepiece.
