I had both at the same time. the sub is a more "usable" watch I think and to go to a new one from first gen YMII would probably be an ok move

You have a WG YM2? That's a rare bird, but yeah I'd switch.

Yes, that's because I like the Sub more than the YM2.

Rare watch but I prefer the Sub. Is the YG Sub a LB or LN?

Yes, the WG YMII is one of the ugliest Rolex I’ve seen much like the original platinum dial YM 1. I think I saw it the first time when Federer lifted the trophy at Roland Garros. While I’m not a fan of the YM2 it looks better in YG. The gold Sub otoh is a much nicer looking watch and a timeless classic. Do it!!!
