Hmmm not a fan
But not to the extreme of saying it sgould not be in the line up
I like the movement and the idea behind it just cant bloody tell the time on it

It has very sporty look but I am not a fan. I wouldn’t say it shouldn’t belong in the Rolex line up though.

I'm not a fan with regards to whether I'd actually buy one, but I like how mad it is, if that makes sense.

5 hands, 10 to 0 bezel and 10 to zero internal complication on the face along with the seconds complication?

Its always been a time keeping device with the addition of a watch as opposed to the other way around in my opinion.

I feel pretty hard to read the time, but I like the idea behind this watch and it is unique as well.

I would not buy it as my only watch but I am happy to have this piece in the collection.

Not for me however, it is certainly a unique piece that carries a lot of wrist presence.

Between this and the SS Skydweller, I would rather have the latter as it would be a complication I could use.

Love it. Never could quite bond with it, as fitment was an issue for me, but...man, what a watch.

Love it. I would own one if I needed a different Rolex design. I tend to be too traditional with my taste with Rolex.

No like unless you are actually going to be racing yachts. But since most of us don’t wear our watches for the profession they are designed, get it if you like the look. Frankly I don’t like the writing on the outer bezel. There are so many other Yacht Master models, like the rose gold one,
that would pull me in. But in the end you should always get the one YOU like and not the one others tell you that you should like.

I like the look of YM2 and it should be apart of the Rolex range. I have a small wrist so would never buy one, also don't have a use for the complication.

Love it is too strong but I think it has a place in the Rolex line-up.

I like the watch. Tried on both 44mm and 40mm. I would bought 44mm if not the price, bit expensive at 18K

There is a big following for it and if you want 44mm, that is one of three in the line-up...

I'd take the WG/Platinum one...

It’s definitely a piece that has to be tried on to appreciate. I also did not care for it until I tried it on and wow, it blew me away. A lot of watches look nice until I try it on but the ym2 had the opposite effect. If my wrists were a little bigger I’d probably get one.

It’s a cool piece. For me, I’d only consider it as a weekender

Not a fan but no problem with keeping it in the lineup for those that do.

I wouldn't say it shouldn't be in the Rolex lineup but it's never done anything for me.
