Incoming 116680

Just joined couple of days ago to find a nice 116680 SS and just bought one today from DavidSW, been a long time member of WUS. Been less active there I last 10 years, it was costing me too much 😃

First Rolex though, the 116680 just speaks to me and for some time I keep coming back to it. I not a big guy but like big watches. 44mm is a sweet size, just perfect.

I was looking at many online retailers and came across this forum for feedback. Joined the forum and DavidSW name kept coming up.

Luckily he had the right watch, love the 2017 new hands, the hour hand is like the Mercedes logo, love that. I am MB guy. Now long wait till Wednesday to get it on my wrist.

Haha totally! I remember someone in there being trolled and called "disrespectful" for asking if they can use an AP as a daily beater. Here you would be told off for not using it daily

Congrats! Didn't think much of this watch until I tried it on and it was the most stunning Rolex I tried on (well after the YG Blue Sub). Enjoy it in good health!

Welcome brother, not many people have the YM2 which I think is a beautiful and unique watch. There is no mistaking it for a counterfeit like the other models. I had the YM2 gold w/ gold hands and I love it. Enjoy your watch and God Bless you and your new watch.
