Went to the AD to try on a DD2 YG today. And then saw this beauty.

Couldn't resist, I had to try it on.

I thought my Daytona YG was heavy already. Obviously, I had no idea....

Love it. Got to try it on.

WatchFeen · 15 October 2013, 01:09 AM

I can't wait to see someone wearing this piece, certainly wouldnt be anytime soon for me to have one ha

DiamondJack · 15 October 2013, 01:25 AM

I was also quite impressed by its presence when I got to try this piece recently and thought the blue was absolutely stunning........

Negatives for me were the fact I was not sure about the brown ceramic bezel and sub dials but can see why Rolex went for brown not black as that would have probably over powered the sensational looking blue dial.

The weight was also a bit of a surprise and was noticeably heavier than my WG Sub .........

And ultimately, I think if I was going to unload that sort of wedge it would be on a PN Exotic Dial Daytona 6241 or a more complicated piece such as a PP. Just not sure about spending that much extra cash on the metal itself ....... Even though it was a beauty in the flesh........

Yea that's beauty.

SWISSAHOLICS · 15 October 2013, 01:33 AM

I tried this beauty on at my local AD this weekend....all I can say is WOW...it is quite heavy and it is gorgeous in person. The salesperson was more than gracious enough to have me try it on. It is a stunner!!!

UK retail was £50,100. And needed to be ordered. The one I tried had apparently already been sold.......

Vipes · 15 October 2013, 02:53 AM

Very nice!

SWISSAHOLICS · 15 October 2013, 03:03 AM

Not even 1% discount...so I had to walk away

X2. I went by one of local A D's and was dissapointed to see the exact same inventory they had over 7 months ago.

Nothing from Basel etc which was frustrating because I was in the buying mood that day or maybe it was a good thing.

bayerische · 15 October 2013, 04:32 AM

It's cool. But pricey!

iLLGT2 · 15 October 2013, 04:34 AM

I'm always the minority…. guess what i'm going to say? lol

tavv160 · 15 October 2013, 04:37 AM

It is growing on me. Yet, I would still rather get a PP for that money.

Trouble15 · 15 October 2013, 05:01 AM

Stunning!

'incoming'? :)

ufboy73 · 15 October 2013, 05:24 AM

is the blue on this the same as the platinum DD2 blue?

i dont know if i would drop this much on a watch but i could have been tempted, without the brown - just not into brown, at all

HL65 · 15 October 2013, 05:31 AM

Love it and love the color combo!!

SohAIS · 15 October 2013, 06:24 AM

looks really awesome in flesh

111forza · 15 October 2013, 07:22 AM

Tried it on for myself couple of weeks ago and thought the colour combo was just perfect. Absolutely gorgeous piece

kilyung · 15 October 2013, 07:41 AM

Keep your eyes on the YM2, Mike... one thing at a time.

ufboy73 · 15 October 2013, 07:45 AM

YM II will always be there, though

Racerdj · 15 October 2013, 07:54 AM

I almost got to see one the other night but it was being shown privately.

The platinum Daytona is one heck of a watch, I love it!

As for the enabler getting enabled in this thread, good job gentlemen!
