Wow, that looks great. Congratulations - I haven’t even seen one in person yet.

What do you like best about it?

@Porschen I’m liking the dial…. Clean and easy to read… not liking the strap… seems kinda cheap, but the butterfly buckle is great. Might order a different strap for it.

I picked up a YG 1908 with a black dial a couple weeks ago, and I love it. I can't stop staring at the movement through the open case back. It's very strange to see a Rolex movement in the flesh. I also like the underside of the strap being Rolex green. Adds a touch of coolness.....

I agree about the open caseback… very cool! 👍 I do like the green backing on the strap but I’m not impressed with g to be overall quality of the strap.

I agree regarding the dial, it looks great.

Interesting about the leather strap, I’m disappointed to hear this.

Congratulations … you are the envy of many.

I did scratch my head when I first saw this watch without a padded strap.

I get keeping the strap thin, for a thin watch, but a little padding would class it up a bit.

Wow! Congrats first of all!
Not seen yet, and I'm looking forward to see it.
I love it
sorry to hear of the strap.
Just a question: did you also try the others?
What about legibility?

super super watch, congrats!

Congrats on the watch!! Hopefully you can find a strap you like; maybe look at a bespoke option? There are some great strap makers out there
