I am sure the answer is REAL SIMPLE.
Why the HUGE jump in price when using YG?
I saw the DJ in SS $5150 2008 MSRP.
DJ in YG $19500 2008 MSRP. Big difference.

I can understand an increase for using gold but 3+ times the price?
YG is so much easier to work than the hard steel Rolex now uses.
Same movement, etc. Sure, Gold is $1000+ an ounce, but there are not THAT many ounces in a Rolex.

I couldn't find the thread that someone must have started but I am considering the YG GMT IIC and the price bump from SS to YG is a "WOW!" to say the least. Only differnce seems to be the gold.

So, someone please slam me into a reality check.

Thanks!
