For me absolutely amazing and I have mine on my wrist as I type this! It is now my favorite Rolex of all time and I have owned some sweet ones in my time!

Agreed! The President is my next choice for a Rolex, in YG.

Larry, thanks. And I think the 718 should be on Neil's wrist soon. Real soon.

Flavio, thanks as well!

I love the 718 with the green dial but I tried a gmt 2c and it felt too big and kinda uncomfortable. The Daytona feels better on the wrist, so Daytona for me.

DDII always been my favorite YG watch. Sub is a classic in SS, and the GMT I would prefer to have in BLNR :) YMII is a beauty just not the right one for me.

DDII in YG with white roman dial is my winner :)

I can't even vote because I them all!

For YG my cash went to the 718



I know this is a YG poll, however, a few bonus pics of my RG Rolex references...





Looking great gents!
