They wear similarly to me. Kind of like a thinner Sub. The YM has a much sexier looking case though.

Lots of love on this forum for the YM. I own a 2020 Rhodium, and it's a beautiful, stunning, spectacular looking watch (enough redundancy for you?).

I agree with others that it wears lighter than the GMT, my Pepsi sits more noticeably on the wrist, the YM just goes through the day.

After seeing some of these photos, I need to try the YM on the strap - wow.

The GMT is a little thinner than the SUB and feels less bulky on the wrist.

The YM is another level up in feel on the wrist to me though. Hardly notice you're wearing it compared to a SUB.

Others have said it already. The YM is special and wears really really well.

Thanks to all forum members for their kind comments and pictures. I pulled the trigger and got the YM blue dial from the AD. I love the way the blue dial changes its look under different lighting conditions. Also, the YM wears so much like my Explorer I... after a while I almost forgot that I had a watch on!

So I have now a complete Air-Land-Sea combination.

Please tell me that I should now stop here with this trio?

Congratulations! Well done. I hadn’t worn my YM for a couple of weeks to give some of my other pieces some wrist time, but was so excited to get it back on this morning...as far as stopping, not sure about that

In the past 3 years I’ve had the new Pepsi, prior Batman, an SD43, a 116500 (still have), and. YM40.

The YM is by far my favorite of the group.

If you are getting the GMT at MRSP, then go for it. If not, go for the YM from the AD. Basically, not worth paying above MRSP for any watch. Just my view.
