The new SS Yachtmaster II....in the steel

I got the call that the new SS YMII has arrived. Somewhat shocked that it came in so soon!

Decision decisions ....

That's a good fit!

It wouldn't have felt so long if Basel wasn't so late this year.

It looks good on your wrist.

Are there any other contenders vying for a spot on your wrist or is it all or nothing on the SS YM2?

Thanks Julian

Was surprised with the fit, as I always assumed that it would be too big for my wrist, so I had never even tried on the other YMII variations because of that.

Re. contenders, all I can say is that I have been looking to inject some YG into the collection, in one form or another

Price is AU$19,895 no discounts.

Also tried on the new GMT but I must admit it really didn't do it for me.

Alex -

Looks great! Still trying to figure out how to use the thing though.

I'd say pull the trigger, but IF you can wait a few months, it might be better as discounts will be easier had.

Paul I think I agree with you on both your points
