Went to the AD to try on a DD2 YG today. And then saw this beauty.

Couldn't resist, I had to try it on.

I thought my Daytona YG was heavy already. Obviously, I had no idea....

X2. I went by one of local A D's and was dissapointed to see the exact same inventory they had over 7 months ago.

Nothing from Basel etc which was frustrating because I was in the buying mood that day or maybe it was a good thing.

Bound to happen

I'm sure we have a few members crunching numbers

Never say never!

I was also quite impressed by its presence when I got to try this piece recently and thought the blue was absolutely stunning........

Negatives for me were the fact I was not sure about the brown ceramic bezel and sub dials but can see why Rolex went for brown not black as that would have probably over powered the sensational looking blue dial.

The weight was also a bit of a surprise and was noticeably heavier than my WG Sub .........

And ultimately, I think if I was going to unload that sort of wedge it would be on a PN Exotic Dial Daytona 6241 or a more complicated piece such as a PP. Just not sure about spending that much extra cash on the metal itself ....... Even though it was a beauty in the flesh........

I'm normally not into anything brown in my watches. But this one is definitely an exception!

I think the color combination is quite nice and I love the metal, however, at that price point I would be looking at some others instead. Just my 2 cents.

MR.GMT · 15 October 2013, 01:27 AM

Yea that's beauty.

SWISSAHOLICS · 15 October 2013, 01:33 AM

I tried this beauty on at my local AD this weekend....all I can say is WOW...it is quite heavy and it is gorgeous in person. The salesperson was more than gracious enough to have me try it on. It is a stunner!!!

mjclark32 · 15 October 2013, 01:36 AM

Sweeeet, did you happen to talk price with them?

UK retail was £50,100. And needed to be ordered. The one I tried had apparently already been sold.......

Vipes · 15 October 2013, 02:53 AM

Very nice!

The price was 2.4 million thai baht. Which is equivalent to 80,000 USD. Non negotiable.

That's crazy. So the ad would make about 29k on one watch. That should be worth a few bottles of don P. And some seats to the World Series.

bayerische · 15 October 2013, 04:32 AM

It's cool. But pricey!

'incoming'? :)

tavv160 · 15 October 2013, 04:37 AM

It is growing on me. Yet, I would still rather get a PP for that money.

Trouble15 · 15 October 2013, 05:01 AM

Stunning!

ufboy73 · 15 October 2013, 05:24 AM

is the blue on this the same as the platinum DD2 blue?

i dont know if i would drop this much on a watch but i could have been tempted, without the brown - just not into brown, at all

HL65 · 15 October 2013, 05:31 AM

Love it and love the color combo!!

SohAIS · 15 October 2013, 06:24 AM

looks really awesome in flesh

111forza · 15 October 2013, 07:22 AM

Tried it on for myself couple of weeks ago and thought the colour combo was just perfect. Absolutely gorgeous piece

kilyung · 15 October 2013, 07:41 AM

Keep your eyes on the YM2, Mike... one thing at a time.
