New arrival! Do I need to buy a yacht now?!

I finally pulled the trigger and traded in my DSSD toward a SS Yacht-Master II 116680. I must have tried it on a dozen times and could not get enough of it. The blue ceramic with the white dial and red accents is really stunning. Still can't believe it.

Wear it well, I have also tried it on and fell in love. It is a bit big for my wrist, but a beautiful watch nonetheless.

Love it. Wear it in good health. And no, you don't need to buy the yacht. Just rent it. Let someone else have the headache of ownership.

Congrats ! This must be one of the most beautiful SS watches Rolex ever made. Any ideas yet how you gonna utilize the 10 minute countdown complication ?
