Got the Yachtmaster II

I have been a Rolex fan for many years. Got my first one about 25 years ago when I signed my first contract. A Presidential but ended up selling it. About 17 years ago, I got the steel and gold Daytona and have worn it almost every day since. First saw the YM II a couple years back and instantly wanted one, but the price scared me off. Went into a shop a couple weeks ago and they had the steel and gold model in stock. It was beautiful. Wife told me to buy it, so I did. What a gorgeous watch. It's big, but with my height it is not a problem. Now a very proud owner, very cool watch.

Welcome to the club!! I love RG on that model. It's the only "sports" model with any RG on it.
