+1 - beautiful looking watch, and I'd happily have one if only it were 40mm. Now that the Titanium model is out, I doubt this will shrink as they probably share parts/process... here's hoping of course

Too big and not feeling quite right in WG (not sure why). If you went off it I reckon you’d do well to get your money back.

Love this reference. So comfortable and balanced to me. Good idea to pass on something that is lukewarm to your sensibilities of course.

There are many on 24 for sale under MSRP; do not buy a PM Rolex thinking you can flip it for profit!

Great watch. Far and away my favorite of the OF models...but if you're not feeling it, no reason to mess with it.

Not my cup of tea.

I’ll take the white dial in the background. I think it’s an Explorer 2.

It’s gorgeous timepiece but buy it only if you really love the watch.

Secondary market price is cheaper than MSRP.

The larger sport watches (SkyD and YM 42) on OF are easy to get these days.

Both the Sky and YM 42 on OF have been randomly offered to me by ADs in the last six months.

If not for you then you can wait to get what you really want hence the AD can get it for you, because I don't think you can flip for profit considering the market today. Very nice watch.

I love this watch. In fact, I bought it and it's one of the watches I'll never sell. Try it, it looks difficult in photos, but in real life, these monochrome tones are perfect. The color of white gold....
But there's something for everyone. Rolex has really succeeded with all the latest YM ranges, 126655, 226659...

On the contrary, I think this watch will be appreciated later. It's not too big, but it sure looks big on a tiny wrist. For me, who doesn't have a big wrist, it's perfect.

Look at the space on the dial, the balance of the spaces, the airy inscriptions, and the large indexes that shine like a thousand lights.

To each his own, but I love this watch.

In wools take the rose gold on oysterflex at a discount. PM Rolexes on the secondary markets are less or same as dealer prices.

I tried one on recently and really liked how it wore, but in white gold it just didn’t look/ feel “special”. The yellow gold reference is definitely on my wish list though.

Same here. Wears amazing. I bet the Ti 42 is incredible.

Love it, 42 works better for me, bit out of my price range though.

You would take an absolute bath trying to flip that...

After all, the AD is soliciting clients to come try n' buy.

It's a gorgeous watch, but north of 30K for a watch with a rubber strap and black bezel that does much to hide the gold which makes this watch pricey? I can see why it's under retail in the secondary. The list of clients interested is vastly smaller than other pieces at that price point.

I'd personally keep saving a bit longer and buy a 40 DD for $8K more. Diversity in taste is awesome though!

WG rolex are just getting crushed. The sub blue bezel (cookie) well under MSRP. Same for this YM42. Even the Daytona 116509 is at about list and dropping like a stone.

These are beautiful pieces, but go grey and get a deal.

Not flippable. But a great investment, like all watches.
