As folks are starting to receive theirs, I'm enjoying the photos so much! But something was bugging me and I couldn't figure out what it was and I finally pegged it! The case is brushed and I'm slightly disappointed! I have waited quite some time for this release as the full yellow gold is not in my budget, and now I'm a bit let down. Why would rolex not polish the case of just the stainless steel YMII?

Was it polished at Basel?

It was brushed at Basel. Probably done to differentiate it from precious metal models. Easy enough to get the case polished by a watchmaker if you really want that.

I love your below pic with the Porsche logo in the back ground. The YM all gold looks stunning

Funny looking at how different the 1 and 2 are, like theyre from two different brands almost.

I really like the Rolex models that are all 18K gold...there is just that extra something when you see a watch which is all gold!!!

Wow !! That is so beautiful! And yes, it doesn't make sense

but yes i could have it polished if I purchase it, but imp refer to keep my watches original, but would like to be happy too.

It is what it is but a few minutes with a Cape Cod Cloth will make it shine if you must have it polished and shiny.
