Tried one on at the ad the other day. What a great watch and wears beautifully even on my small wrist.

Distinctive looking watch with a unique complication. What more could a WIS want? It's on my short list.

I received mine yesterday. I absolutely love it. At 44mm its very comfortable, its not as heavy as DSSD and doesn't sit as high. I hardly notice its on. I love looking at the dial, the white and blue combo is gorgeous and classy. The only thing i would wish it didn't have are the PCL's, they are beautiful, but i prefer brushed links, PCL's easily scratch.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
