Wow and its got magnetron cathode sputtering,wonder what genius in marketing thought that one up.Its a great movement and a mechanical first, but the YM11 is not on my must have list at any price.

Seems we have something in common.

Both worth more dead than alive.

The YM11 in YG is a huge chunk of Au and nothing in the Rolex range comes even close for presence IMO.

I know exactly what u mean!

We are sick puppies!

I just cant wait. Lucky for me was not purchased in Au so I saved lots!

I never understood this monstrosity. Cool color scheme but its turning into one of those 100% filled Breitling dials with a million numbers and things going on. Ugly. (and I love most Breitlings...)

Lion · 24 March 2011, 11:16 PM

I happen to like this watch and it looks amazing in YG. Now that it's offered in TT...I bet they will sell more of them!!!

sparky · 25 March 2011, 12:29 AM

anyone know what the "chromalight" ill. system is?? don't think I've heard of that one yet.

buke45 · 25 March 2011, 12:38 AM

Nice!!!

Foxglove · 25 March 2011, 01:42 AM

not doing it for me at all.

Roxas · 25 March 2011, 03:15 AM

It looks nice but it is too big for me. Wait for the SS version.

Jinder · 25 March 2011, 09:45 AM

I think it's a beautiful watch, rose gold looks great

bodybump · 25 March 2011, 09:47 AM

cheegum · 25 March 2011, 10:49 AM

what a beauty!

kingblackbolt · 25 March 2011, 12:27 PM

Not for me...

Eyedoc_RSH · 25 March 2011, 01:54 PM

That is a fugly watch

Wilson86 · 25 March 2011, 03:57 PM

How much do you suppose this will cost? I'm thinking between 20-25G AUD

barstoolman · 26 March 2011, 02:54 AM

What a horrible looking watch..........I didn't think Rolex could ever outdo themselves in terms of ridiculous looking timepieces after they released the Daytona Leopard abortion but, they have!!!!!!!! The "Clownmaster" lives!!!!!!

agreed. should have been 50mm case.

Intruder99 · 26 March 2011, 12:41 PM

Harlequin Master
I'm shocked and surprised by this release, i think they should have left well alone. Can only imagine due to low sales of the WG & YG they were forced to sell more.

Rolex tom · 27 March 2011, 03:40 AM

still not my thing

bigfei · 27 March 2011, 03:50 PM

busy but still good looking!

timepup · 28 March 2011, 04:05 AM

Am I the only one who sees a resemblance?

757doc001 · 28 March 2011, 06:15 AM

I think the colors of the SS and RG blend well with the rest of the watch, leading to smoother transitions.

The dial might be a little busy, but still a big

MPUG · 28 March 2011, 11:49 PM

I think these watches will be a great success
i have already ordered mine!!

Trev · 29 March 2011, 12:08 AM

I hope they find new applications for the 4130 in different models.

I'll also be curious to see an actual photo of a YMII. In the promo shots the whole colour scheme seems really "off".

OLJR · 29 March 2011, 12:56 AM

I rather like this new model as I have been a fan of the YMII for a little while and a TT version potentially brings it into my price range. I will wait until I see the YG TT out too so I can compare with the RG TT.

The dial has more going on than a Submariner or GMTII it is true. But it does not have as much to see as the Daytona. I think that comparing this watch to a Breitling with lots of numbers on is not exactly fair.

james291905 · 29 March 2011, 02:49 AM

$15K USD?? Try £17K GBP which would be around $24K Ridiculous price for a bi-metal watch.

Colour looks much better here:

Not a fan of this watch by any means but i think it suits this makeover.

I'm also thinking that the lack of posts on this thread means its not very popular. Its also a bit of 'supply and demand' I think the lack of demand for this watch may drive the price up too.
