Haven't pulled the trigger on a YM yet because I'm afraid I'll develop a complex for not having an actual yacht to accompany it...

Love the YMII as well, but too bad the official regatta countdown has changed to 5min.
Wonder if Rolex would consider changing the design

No need. Just adjust the start timer to 5min.

I was afraid that would have been the answer

And most pasta takes about 8 or so ... 5 is no good.

It's a great looking watch with a lot of presence. Would have bought it in a flash if it had a smaller footprint.

Most people with functional watches are not using them for their intended purpose anyway, e.g. Subs are bought by desk divers, GMTs are used by people who never leave the country or local timezone, etc.

As long as you like it, go for it.

The YMII movement has a mechanical "memory" insofar as it can be set (using the bezel) to reset itself to a countdown of any length between 1 and 10 minutes. That is one of the coolest features (IMO).

Don't forget that it's also a Flyback... no other Flybacks in the Rolex lineup.

i think it is stunning.

HogwldFLTR · 1 February 2014, 07:34 AM

Too expensive; I don't want to buy a yacht or to race. It's a great watch but I'd only own it if I really needed the function it provides.

masterserg · 1 February 2014, 07:59 AM

All BS aside ... do you like it or not? Who cares how is it named.

nice watch

MortgageGuy · 1 February 2014, 08:25 AM

Absolutely a gorgeous piece, amazing pictures guys

kilyung · 1 February 2014, 08:31 AM

My favorite watch at the moment (regardless of metal).

FremStar · 1 February 2014, 09:24 AM

Stunning pic gents! By far to me the SS YM2 is the best SS Rolex timepiece I own!

FeelingTheBlues · 1 February 2014, 09:36 AM

I really like the mix of the blue bezel with the white metal, I think Rolex did well with this one.

I must admit I still prefer the yellow gold model but it remains a stunning timepiece.

That was a pic I posted on Instagram, however, here are some formal pics...

A few shades of Rolex blue...

Even with my 326135 and 116718 amongst others these are my two favorite Rolex references at the moment!

Thanks for your words of encouragement offline!
