Close encounter with a WG YMII in the wild.

[SixPak]

I was sitting inside a Starbucks having a cup of coffee with my lovely wife this morning and was sporting a SS DJII with the shirt sleeves rolled up. Then, in come a middle aged gentleman and he sat at a table adjacent (about two arms length) to ours and across from me. The next few minutes was very uneventful ..... until the guy next to us took off his coat to reveal a huge hunk of metal on this left wrist. Whoa! I can't help but noticed instantly that it was a WG YMII with that unmistakeable platinum bezel. I was thinking to myself wow, what are the odds of seeing this magnificent watch in the wild? It has a wrist presence unlike any other watch I've seen.

Then a few minutes passed as I carried on my conversation with my wife, my eyes kept on drifting over to his wrist in awe. He noticed my stare and I also sensed he was looking at my DJII in return. In no time I leaned over and asked him: "Excuse me, is that WG YMII?" To which replied "Yes, I just got it recently and nice DJII!". In an instant, I moved over to his table and we talked for about a couple of minutes. I asked why he bought the WG instead of yellow and he said he preferred a more understated YMII that can fly under the radar. At this point I could see my wife rolling her eyes and gave me the look. . Then he removed the watch and handed it over to me. Whoa, I thought!! It felt like an anchor and I've never handled a watch as heavy. Incredible heft and presence is all I have to say. All in all, it was quite a pleasant exchange with another WIS.

However, my wife wasn't too impressed to put it mildly....
