I used to be not interested in the YM but after seeing JJs previous, I just love the bezel it reallly adds to the Bling factor (If youre into that of course)

The Plat/SS YM is the best looking sport Rollie IMO. It can be worn with jeans, a suit or tux and look great doing it.

I'll admit I tried on a 2-tone midsize with slate/grey dial at a local
jeweler once but that's it..

Can you guys really tell the difference between a polished Stainless Steel and a Platinum Rolex? I'm an idiot. I can't.

How about SS and WG?

At a distance maybe I can not tell the difference. But to me it is more for me than anyone else. Nobody really notices my watch, I could wear a fake and still nobody would care.

It is for me, not for others. I get the enjoyment out of the watch. A personal thing. Others might not notice. But I will always know.
