New addition to the collection!

Hello folks, just added this masterpiece to my collection yesterday. I was one of the first people on this forum that bought the yellow gold YM2 many many years ago and sold it a few years later. I know this watch is not everyone's cup of tea, but having owned most of the professional Rolex models, I have to admit that this one is really special. Big, bright, unique and you don't see it every day. In fact I like the SS version more than every other version of this watch and I truly love the bright blue bezel. I think it's the exact same blue as on my Batman and it's really nice to have it on the full bezel and not just on the half

Planning on keeping it in the collection and wear it often. Viva la regatta!

A few pics from today

[Left over stickers will be removed soon]

Nice Yachtmaster!! Fits your wrist nicely, although they are a bit big they do seem to have one of the most interesting dials of Rolex’s

Congratulations!!
I came a full circle with the YM2……. Initially loved it and wanted one when it was gonna for a big discount and available at every AD’s case……. Remember those good old days??…… anyway, I have to admit that I was somewhat influenced by all the negative remarks and comments about this “black swan”

I kept it at heart and wanted one until I pulled the trigger and got one about 8 months ago. I cannot be happier. Out of my decent rolex collection, this is one of my favorites!

Bold and beautiful! Congrats!

The white dial makes it look even bigger. Must dwarf all the Rolex line up in side by side comparison
