That is a great photo... Thanks! Wow, wasn't expecting a weigh in for the big head to head. Very Cool! Quote:
Ok, now I am really jealous, you have the watch and your out boating... Perfect, just sign me up now! I agree it looks stunning just in SS alone. But I agree with the above statement the most. I love them all as well. It has been nice to see what others think of the YM II.

I like the gold hands as well. Guess they changed it from the blue a few years ago. Thanks for the pics...

Don't know precise timing, but I think the first ones had gold hands, then they went to blued, and then in 2017 back to gold again, but with the 'Mercedes' hour hand.

"Clownmaster"...."designed by a 3 year old"...over the years I have heard so many make negative comments about this watch in any metal....I promise you...if you see it in person and stare at the face.....and have any type of interest in art or the way colors interact....you will eventually come to realize what an amazingly beautiful dial this is....the white dial, the blue ceramic....the blued hands...the red hand....everything working together like a work art. Amazing dial. Amazing function.

I agree. The movement function is pretty useless in real life, but you don't buy it for that - its just a very attractive piece, and definitely the 'loudest' I have. I do think it works well in the yellow gold too, as it has a very rich hue to it. I generally prefer rose gold, but the YM2 definitely looks better as it is.

I like the Everose TT. It seems to be a perfect blend. But then I am thinking I might be making a mistake if I bypass the YG. The YG goes so well with the YM II. Quote:

It's a great watch and I love the looks of it. As a former Sail Boat racer I would have loved something like that back then. I was wondering if there is anyone on the forum who actually uses the watch for starts? I'd love to hear about it!!!!

I don't wear it to business meets etc because its too much. I do occasionally wear it if I'm going to an event where I want people to notice it and think 'he's successful'. This might sound shallow but its taken many years of hard work for me to be in this fortunate position and sometimes I do feel like letting people know! This all said, nobody has ever commented on it and probably most people would think its a fake anyway! |

It has gotten some attention in form of looks, however, I can wear it every day and not feel its out of place in Florida! If you're a smaller guy maybe it beams off your wrist, as well. Not really sure what to attribute it to |

That is one heck of a trio. Thanks for the awesome pics. I will let you know when I stop drooling!
All of those watches are beautiful! Glad to see so many in PM. Seems like a majority of the Rolexs that are posted here are SS. I am torn between the Everose TT YM II and the YG. I think I would feel a self conscious about the attention the YG would bring. But it is one amazing looking watch that is on my radar. Thanks again for your insight and pics!

Bottom line is, you have to seek both out and be able to try both on side by side... From what you are saying , it sounds like the two tone will likely be a better choice for you.. |

Thanks for your valuable insight regarding the YG YM II. I know what it is like to have paid your dues early on in ones career. I am surprised no one has commented on your gold watch...

To be honest if you own a YM2, than you are boss and don’t have to worry about time. I use the 10 minute count down for my remote-start for my Escalade. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I had the two tone and recollect that Rolex used to use that watch quite a bit in their billboards. The rose gold really looks good on that piece. Two tones in general are usually going to be the least popular vote. For my taste, I found the steel version a little bland but I could try it on tomorrow and feel different. The gold was a consideration for me but I ended up going with the skydweller. I think the two tone is the best looking of the three but again, two tones tend to be unpopular and the price point is pretty close to a PM sub or GMT.

YMII SS is my favorite... I too started off with Platinum WG Ym2 working it down step by step to the SS....
This watch is very unique in a way that in todays market only people with true passion of it will buy the most expensive SS watch Rolex makes.... Gets lot of attention (positive) I was offered one for about 12% discount late last year... couldnt pull the trigger back then... now any above 5% is good in my opinion... |

I love all the Yachmasters. Both I and II. Especially the I.
I had a 16622 but had to let it go for my 126711CHNR. The YM II's are stunning and for the longest I have wanted one. But they feel a bit large on my wrist. It's weird... Daytona's feel too small and the YM II feels too big. I think I am too used to my LV, BLNR and 126711CHNR in terms of size.
