You'll get a lot of different answers..

However, The solid gold models are usually a letter or two behind the fast moving Stainless Steel models.. And the Gold, less popular, models can be even further behind...

Rolex does not consider a watch "born", and the warranty does not start, until it is sold the first time...

Congradulations on your YM , I think it's a very underrated timepiece in the rolex lineup.

sorry i don't have a answer to your question, but tools and other trf members should be able to direct you enjoy your YM.

Good choice. The P is old and in need of a service already. Amazing thay they tried to pull that off and represent a P serial number as new. Badly done.

P should be regarded as "Old New Stock", but if it is brand new, I don't think it has a lot different. The most concern is the stock was kept in AD's display / store without any movement over years and the lubricant inside may be dried up and need service shortly.
