Incoming! RG YM

I appreciate all of the feedback on the RG YM on Oyster Flex! I just picked mine up today. As all have said, it's very comfortable on the Oyster Flex. It's also incredibly light, seems a little lighter than my SS YM Blue dial. My AD threw in an extra "E" 1/2 strap for those who are familiar in case a slightly smaller fit is required in the future. I'm currently set with G at 12 and F at 6. The Oyster Flex sizing tool is pretty cool.

This watch is truly different in the metal. Pictures don't do it justice IMHO.

Love it. I feel hard for it in Vegas, but I bought an AP RO instead. I still lust after the 116655 though. Congrats!

Does that watch not come with a gold bracelet?

No it does not. Oysterflex rubber strap with RG deployant clasp.

Very nice. Can you make micro adjustments in the clasp during the day?
