A dirty YM
It got a bit dirty after six days of near non stop wear, but I still absolutely LOVE this watch.

So far, it has gained a bit over three seconds in 5 days, making it the most accurate Rolex I ever had.

Photo shot handheld, backyard, on my grill. As always.

Well, the DD40 is growing on me daily. And getting damn close. But still, the YM is just incredible in so many ways.

There is a huge billboard of that very watch that I see on the way to work every day.

Oh it's there, and I "digitally" cleaned up a lot more. LOL

I get what you are saying. I love the white dial EXP and Daytona Ceramic, but they look stupid on me.
