YM Questions

Looking for some advice. I purchased this YM early 2000s... has been in my safe until recently when I jumped back into the Rolex “game”..

I am hoping to get some advice from the folks in the forum....

If this was your watch would you consider changing the face and or bezel to give it a more updates look?

Has anyone replaced a TT bracelet with a rubber B or Everest type strap ? I am wondering if the look would be off with the mix of gold and the non gold case?

Thanks for any input !

I'd leave it the way it is. That's a sharp looking YM.

I would leave it as is, the dial color and TT bracelet are still very popular today. Nice watch. Aloha

Why change anything. It’s beautiful. I have the SS/PL from 2000 and wear it often. These YMs are classics, in my opinion.

Enjoy! It may need a service visit, though. You may want to have it looked at by a RSC.

I'm generally not a TT fan but your YM looks sublime as it is, I wouldn't change an iota.

For any precious metal piece, I'm a big proponent of keeping the band.
