I know what you meant since I have same experience. The YM love will slowly grow and become your favorite. I dislike the PCL bracelet of YM at first but I like it now. The bracelet is solid link instead of the hollow link on other oyster bracelet.

BTW....the "Blue Hands" versions of the 116680 YM II (production suspended) are already, as expected, offered with a premium compared to the "Mercedes Hands" variant
For instance: Chrono24....Watchshopping.com....$ 17.999,- versus $ 17.569,-
A small difference admittedly, but the start is there....

First post here, I've decided to share my 0.02 :)

Two reasons come to my mind -

1) Omega's best selling watch is SMPc (at least I've been told). It is the cheapest diver in Omega line-up. In Breitling area, Colts (also the cheapest) are quite popular as well. As matter of Rolex, subs are the cheapest way to get rolex diver, plus you get history etc. Why to buy Yachtmaster, if bezel schratches easily (as they say), if you can get all you want in lowest price?

2) I have AD quite long way from my home, so I am permanently looking for any photos of my favourite models. I don't know why, but, with all respect, I probably haven't found any pretty photo of YM - especially rhodium. Today I saw them in flash and they are AWESOME!! Any photo I found is almost whole different watch, that big the difference is!
