YM or DJ 2

Over the years I've had both but sold them to fund other purchases. However I've always liked both watches. I'm ready to add another one to the collection. I need your help on which one you would pick up now. I'm looking at either the ym or the dj2 black roman with fluted bezel. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks guys.

DJ2 is my vote. A little more contrast.

DJ2. Not a big YM fan here.

This. However, you just cannot beat that fluted bezel. It is absolutely what held the most allure for my recent dj2 purchase.

I prefer the DJ2 given the configuration you mentioned.

The YM is great and a watch I once considered, but ultimately a bit too shiny for my taste.

TT DJII has my vote. If going with silver get the Platty yachtmaster

Either one, it's a Rolex after all. Sooner or later we'll own every model

They are different watches...do you want sporty or dressy?

I vote for the YM. They are pretty rare, too.

Meant in the nicest possible way.

Do you have any more watches currently ? Or just the DDII ? If you just have the DD then the YM is the more logical choice.

I much prefer the DJII.

I'd only take a TT yacht master blue dial but for SS I'd do that Djii and be far happier! Hope that helps you decide
