It still smiles at me like it did
almost one year ago!! This coming week will be one year with the YM (the real one, JJ!!) and it still does it for me. There was the small (and expensive) clasp modification that I did last year, but the watch is the same and still makes me as happy as the first day I got it.
Even before I left for Hawaii, this one was getting more wrist time, but I think I will start to give it at least equal time with the 88 if not a bit extra. This is my week of honoring the Yachtie.

Ok with all this loving of the YM (I love it too) I have to say something about what I dont like. The long end link has always looked out of place to me. It makes the watch look like someone over polished the watch and made the lugs too short. Thats the only thing that bugs me about the YMs.
Is the YM the only Rolex like that? |

nope, the 16622 or 16623 is a new want of mine (been in love maybe 6 months,) I actually used to hate it because it has no real place in the professional series since water activities have always been a job for Subs. But even without a history the looks has grown on me and I have accepted it and who knows maybe someone cool will use it for an adventure someday to give it some heritage to go with its handsome looks.
so its still 14060M or 16570 and the 116520 should be coming in shortly (although I may pass on the next one and wait till xmas while I break in whichever I choose for my b-day this year hehehe) |

Very nice watch. In fact if I were going to get another Rolex (not very probable) that YM and the LV sub are at the top of the list. You have great style. |

It is super comfy and it also seems to wear large since it is flatter on the wrist than many models.
Yeah I remeber the p***ks popping up Dennis, but the watch and pics were great then and they still are pal!!

Nice pics Daren and Mav........I remember when I first went on TZ and there was hardly anyone discussing the YM. Every so often someone would ask why it wasn't talked about, and a bunch of regulars would basically run it down (new model, no following, no purpose).......that's why I hang out here.
