The 116655 is my favorite YM. You can't go wrong either way.

The YM is probably my favorite gold watch available right now. The black dial, bezel, and "bracelet" make it discreet enough for everyday use. I haven't tried it on, but I've heard the ousterflex is very comfortable. If it's anything as good as like the rubber on a 5167, I'd have to believe it would make for a great everyday watch.

The YM continues to grow on me every time I see it but the BLNR would be my choice as a daily. The YM would make for a great compliment if that is ever an option.

Congrats! You definitely made the right decision. This whole rose gold trend is getting boring. However stainless steel will always be fresh and understated.
