Old dial and hands vs new dial and hands
Which do you guys prefer, the older YM2 or the 2017 release?

I'd go with older, at least for me they're easier to see.

On the SS version, the old dial and hands.
On the new TT and YG, the new hands are killer in the flesh!! I could not believe how nice the new TT was in person. |

The old one for me.... much easier to see the hands - which is the basic function of any watch after all...
cheers

Old one without a doubt. The Mercedes hand on this model look out of place.

The move to mercedes hands in this model mystifies me.
 Why oh why would you commit this atrocity, Rolex? OK, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic.

The new hands kill the readability for me.
I like the new dial though, but not enough to suffer with the hands.

Another vote for older. New hand makes the whole watch a bit busy give all that's going on with the dial

Much prefer the Blued hands. The new hands get lost in the dial, not enough contrast.
