No love for the White Gold YM2...?
I have always liked the looks of the YM2 in WG, but very rarely hear or see that watch on this forum. For what they are selling for compared to other PM pieces I figured they would be more prevalent. Any input? If you own one would love to see pics!

The non ceramic bezel is a deal killer for me. No contrast. I have not seen any in the wild nor here.

Agreed. Possibly the last Rolex I would consider from the professional line.

Never cared for it myself either. I think the SS, TT and YG look much nice with ceramic bezels.

Not a lot of love for the YM2 in general - formerly known as the "Clown Master".

I'm in love with it!
White gold case and bracelet with a platinum bezel. The YM II complication stands alone. It is the Massive Dynamic of Rolex.

I like it a lot. But I'm a fan of all YM2's.

I think many around here aren't fond of the YM2. I find it pretty garish. Many better options for the price.

WG YM II is a big bust. Could of been good but they find of ruined the design imo. They sell for 22k used on the forums while the YG YM II still sell for 29-32k

I agree with the sentiment that it's not great however I wonder if that will change. I've noticed that forum members collectively exert a little influence over each other. In turn, some of the less popular watches will show up in batches if someone gets the ball rolling. They YM I has become quite popular on here but, according to two AD's I spoke with, does not sell well at all. Admittedly, my observations are not conclusive and could not withstand the rigors of scientific method. That said, the YM II in general has come around quite a bit on these forums.

I have the ss ym2 and it is on my wrist more than any of the other Rolexs I own. I must say that I really don't understand wg as it looks like ss to me, I would opt for yg
