Thanks for the compliments guys! I have been enjoying my YM very much, and I dont mind the slightly 'bling' look of the polished centre link and case. The polished surface does sometimes give an impression of a TT (although not YG/SS look) a more two metal look with the brushed part giving a different shade of metal color vs. the polished part. I am sure the new SS GMTII have the same look (another of my favourite)
