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.

What is a "batman" blnr? Did Rolex release a special edition? Any info on this because I wasn't aware and I'm a blnr fan ...

If you really want to spend that kind of money then
Consider the BLRO, SMURF or YG Bluesy!!!

Level if u ask me !!!
Personally, I've had all the ones you list. Great watches. But for one reason or another, they were not good dailues for me.

I mentioned already that I do like rubber or leather. I think they look better and I find them much more comfortable. I feel a metal bracelet is far more restrictive.

I can even sleep in my YM without feeling any discomfort at all.

And it's unique, which I like. While all of the others you listed are fantastic pieces, they are extremely common in the grand lineup of watches. If not those specifically, their overall vibe.

And for whatever reason, the blnr just does not do it for me.

The YM also allows for wearing a colored gold, in a very subtle fashion. Which I like very much.

I agree - add this strap to a platinum YM - that would be stunning imo.

Might be worth looking into the rubberb or Everest strap for that. I too think that would be awesome.

But the matte bezel is one of my features.

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