YMII unleashed

After a couple of months of having it locked away, I finally had some time to get my YMII sized - and I’m loving wearing it out in the wild

I don’t wear my YMII enough either, but always enjoy wearing it when I do!

It’s a very eye catching piece - and for that reason, I can see that it may end up getting less than its share of wrist time

It does look great on you.

Sizing was an issue for me, as I just couldn't quite get the fit I wanted.

I must admit that i was surprised at how comfortable it felt. That having been said, It is a big watch and I can see how the lack of a glide lock would make it more difficult to get the fit bang on

Thank you for the good wishes! I’d covered this one for a while and was disappointed that it took me so long to get it into the rotation. Delighted that I’ve done that

A very cool watch. You can't find it easily on the street.

Saw that exact model at my AD last month and I totally love it. Such a cool reference, great size, and there's something so damn neat about that countdown timer! Congrats

Thanks all!

I picked mine up very lightly used from a trusted seller here (after an exuberant night out...but there’s another thread on that purchase - https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=572144) and am delighted that I did. I’m even more delighted that I did now that I can wear this around, rather than just trying it on and roaming around the house!

I took the YMII to its natural habitat today - visited the Volvo Ocean Race pavilion during the Hong Kong stop-over. Unfortunately missed the chance to use the countdown timer to do my own timing of the start for the inshore racing.

Well worth checking out for those of you in HK.







....in case one needed a reminder!
