If you see your brother often, why not swap the watches once in a while. I would love to wear another Rolex for 1-2 weeks occasionally.

To me, DD2 > YM2 by far. One of the more established members here (can't remember who) referred to the YM2 as a clown watch.

IMHO, I prefer your DD2. It's timeless (oh, and it tells time).

That sucks. The YM2 fits you better.
Sell the DD2 and buy the YM already!
