Did you buy that instead of the Plat DD Mike?

Michael M. · 5 October 2010, 09:59 AM

Looks great!

Mockingbird · 5 October 2010, 09:59 AM

This model gets a lot of hate, but if they only got rid of that sill YMII text on the bezel, and made it SS I'd consider it.

Man that is a stunning piece!

Thanks!

indeed.

When I started to get frustrated with not finding the right piece after 4-5 months of searching daily... I *almost* said f it and bought the WG YMII. I was close.... but I'm really glad I waited it out!

InVision · 5 October 2010, 10:12 AM

No did not buy. Still have to sell one watch to buy one watch according to the BOSS !!

Shade · 5 October 2010, 10:14 AM

Mike, that is a gorgeous watch .... are you thinking about buying it if you sell one of your watches ...... or were you just window shopping?

InVision · 5 October 2010, 10:17 AM

Wow. That's a statement! I believe this same watch received a 95 in Watchtime review. (I hope I got thay right)

G.D.BeanCounter · 5 October 2010, 12:09 PM

Breathtaking!

That model Yacht-Master does get a lot of hate as one member states, but that is always based on the the colors of the watch and the wording on the bezel.

However, the Yacht-Master II is a genuine tool watch that has what I think is a rather remarkable movement.

This watch has a mechanical "programmable" timer, which sounds like a real innovation to me.

It is built for a single purpose and that is yachting and beyond telling time, it's not good for much else. At least the Deepsea Sea-Dweller, regardless of the fact that it is designed specifically for saturation divers, can also be used to time one's wash load.

It probably doesn't really concern Rolex that the masses are not particularly drawn to a watch that is so directly targeted to a particular crowd and a usually very well-heeled one at that.

There is a white gold model that is quite subdued in comparison to the Stainless one that gets most of the ridicule.

Latrodectus · 5 October 2010, 01:19 PM

It is a great watch and I love the colors!

JUSTROLEXES · 5 October 2010, 01:27 PM

Oh my Mike,,, Stunning

EE33 · 5 October 2010, 01:42 PM

Eyes nearly popped out of sockets!

alxforschnr · 5 October 2010, 02:09 PM

I am thinking about buying it. It looks good but once you have it on your wrist it truly is jaw dropping. You got the same feeling?

Andad · 5 October 2010, 04:39 PM

I tried one on for size when they hit the Oz Ad.
I liked it a lot it is one huge slab of Au.
Biggest problem was the Australian price and the possible lack of a buyer if I wanted to sell it down the track.
