Thanks for all the comments, everyone!

To address one point that’s been brought up a couple times, while the Blue Dial YM is certainly gorgeous, I feel I have that shade of blue covered with the Jumbo Date + Day, plus the local shop only has the Dark Rhodium in pre-owned right now. In addition, I also have the Blue Tudor Sub and a Limited Edition Midnight Blue Sunburst Dial Nomos Orion.

At the moment I have nothing with a gray dial and I’m just really in love with the unique “Bermuda blue” against that anthracite background.

I stopped by the AD and they had one in stock. It’s a real stunner in person and crazy comfortable!

If the hands on the Sub bother you, get them fixed or just sell it with the BB and get the WM. The YM you are looking at is nice, I just have issues/concerns with the bezel over the long run.

Walked past a local AD today and saw a YM in the display case. The YM has never really done it for me it’s has the classic tool watch case with the dressy design. Saying that I have seen them in the wild and I wouldn’t say they look bad at all.

It seems as though it is the one you want. I would do it and enjoy it. If you fall out of love or never really connect it can always be swapped.

They do make a nice pair!

And before ya'll ask...yes, that's the sticker under the BLNR crown. I still haven't worn my BLNR since I bought it. *be gentle on me*

**EDIT: I just realized this pic was a bit blurry...caught myself trying to focus on the text, lol...

Oh man. Take off the stickers and wear it! I always wear my new watches right out of the store. We will need an updated shot of the watch being worn without stickers, pronto!

I’ll have you know I have excellent feet! And I promise there’s a second one somewhere, haha.

Before they get there can you tell me why you go silver dial with baby blue accents instead of blue dial with red accents?
The latter is very striking, love seeing that as I know a guy with one.
I like your reasoning the YM is a great watch and different enough to make a really cool Rolex duo.
Great collection you've got going there, I really love the date-days.
Good luck.


I’m thinking that, when the time comes, I’ll add a white gold Day-Date with blue face and Roman numerals. In that case the Blue YM would be overlapping.

Forgot to post these. Side note, I’m absolutely loving the watch!
