ok since I have got the YMII it has pretty much been my "one and only"

the bottom row my kids have now and out of the top row, my wife pretty much keeps the WG sub and RG Daytona!

so I am down to the YG and thinking I am almost able to go to a ONE ONLY??? watch the YMII???

Interested to see what effect the YMII has on others collections and what they wear (Mike??!!)

Have a great Holiday everyone

Yeah I agree you should send the other ones you still have to some deserving soul

MonBK · 30 November 2013, 03:03 AM

You're in luck Tom as the YG Sub is the only one I want.

Send it to me and I'll send you a check.

I would have thought the second biggest lie would have been the "biggest!"

Tom, your collection is simply awesome.

Ravager135 · 30 November 2013, 03:21 AM

First of all, beautiful, rounded collection my friend. The YMII is not my favorite watch in the Rolex lineup but I see their allure. I would keep something a tad more conventional to go with it. If it were me personally, I'd reacquire one of those Subs or the stainless GMTII. Either would make a good pair with that YMII.

In my far humbler collection, I have a hard time rotating three watches despite always wanting more. Right now I really alternate my Explorers and wear my Sub as my beater. I'd recommend keeping a stainless piece for the same reason.

Evan I agree and good suggestion, I think since I am used to the size and weight of the YMII was going to buy a DSSD (sold last one when got the YMII) for more heavy duty days.

You would have two impressive pieces!

Hagg · 30 November 2013, 04:47 AM

Ymii is the only choice for me when next to another watch , although only got one to choose from at the moment,not always been the case though,however hope to change that soon

travisb · 30 November 2013, 05:24 AM

I say let the YG Sub go and make room for the Plat D.

Personally, I would always want at least one white metal watch wether it be SS, WG or PT.

HL65 · 30 November 2013, 03:22 AM

Love the YM II of course Tom!

unclesallie · 30 November 2013, 03:32 AM

Fantastic collection! Unless you need the moolah, I would keep all.

I just got my YM2 so give me a few weeks to assess the impact to my rotation. I can tell you initially that I've never had such razor sharp edges on a Rolex bracelet! The head has rounded edges but the bracelet edges are not chamfered or rounded. Regardless it is a spectacular piece. The gold+blue+white makes it pop much more than any other Rolex I've ever owned. Really... this is a gorgeous sports watch. I've found that it attracts a lot of eyeballs. I was out shopping last night and I saw a lot of furtive glances. You know... the look down at your wrist followed by the quick glance up and then back down.

Those of you that have a DSSD will understand what I say next. The "YACHT-MASTER II" engraved in the bezel isn't as prominent as pictures would convey. It kind of blends in well with the rest of the bezel.

What's interesting to me is that the gold is slightly "lighter" than my 116718. There's no confusing it for SS or RG but side-by-side, it seems to be subtly a lighter tone gold. Tom do you find your YM2 isn't as "gold" as your Sub? Maybe Rolex just changed their YG mix a little in the last 3yrs?

What would absolutely make this YM2 an "only one" Rolex for me is the addition of the 116618 Easyglide clasp. Tom, swap clasps and you've got yourself a watch I'd HAPPILY wear every day. In fact, I'm looking to get one for mine.

Agree seems either lighter or brighter, I thought I was just crazy and that still could be the case.

The YMII seems to make the YG sub to me redundant and not quite as "pop" as it used to be

the white face really makes a difference IMO then add the size and complication and well

appreciate the comments!!

My plan is if the Plat Daytona does it for me my get rid of the YG sub and go that way?!

incoming but not paid for!!!!!

YM II, WG Sub and Plat Daytona make for a great precious metal sports watch trifecta!!

I thought I was seeing things with the color difference!

I know what you mean. My 116718 looks VERY subdued next to the YM2. However I know I'll be keeping my GMT because the gold/black is different from the gold/blue/white. However if I had a 116618LB, I'd probably get rid of it as the gold/blue is a little duplicative.

I agree. Get the 116506 and get rid of the YG SubC. If you're looking at picking up a steel piece, maybe you should look at the SS YM2?

Racerdj · 30 November 2013, 03:49 AM

What a collection!

katana · 30 November 2013, 03:53 AM

I love your gold Sub, also your entire collection is amazing .....

DCgator · 30 November 2013, 05:40 PM

Hell of a collection! Keep (1 or 2) what you think you'll enjoy wearing for many years to come. I suspect this quest to be a one watch man will likely not last for very long - tho that is just imho.
