Unexpected Incoming

I had planned on picking up a BLNR, but that wasn’t in yet (will probably be another month) so I tried this on for about the 10th time over the past year. Was always reluctant to pull the trigger due to cost but I’ve always been drawn to it.
I know it’s not the most desired out there, but it is stunning!

Great choice! The 126655 is an awesome watch and has history of being the first model ever with the OF bracelet. I love mine for summer wear.

I’m sure it will be. It’s now going over for retail on the secondary market. Wouldn’t surprise me if later this year or next it starts to take off like the other rose gold models.

Thanks all! I own the Rhodium YM and it is one of the most comfortable watches I own. That was also not on my radar at the time.
The Oysterflex is truly next level comfort wise and I really do appreciate the understated appearance for a PM piece.
There is a rumor that this will become a bigger case size in April-but alas nobody truly knows.

Congrats - I was in your boat two weeks ago. Stopped in to say hi, and save for some ladies DJs, that was the only watch in the case all by its lonesome. I'd never seen one in thee flesh before - the matte dial and bezel are unreal! It has quickly become my favorite watch, and I honestly think it could pull off being an only. It is by far the best all rounder watch I've seen in quite some time.

Wear it in great health my friend!

Who cares if it's not the most desired out there? What it IS is a stunning watch and that's all that counts. Many congrats - it's an absolute beauty!

I've not been a YM fan, but that reference always has drawn me in. It is absolutely beautiful. And, as someone else has said above, who cares if it's not the most in demand! If you love it, wear it and enjoy it. It is, after all, a gorgeous piece. Congratulations!

Thanks! And I certainly agree-never bought a watch due to hype. I’m fortunate enough to have an AD relationship that allows me to acquire most pieces (in time) and I’ve never been interested in the BLRO or Daytona. To be fair I do have a Sub, TT Sub Blue, so not entirely off the beaten path
