Jumbo & Panda for...

WG or YG Sky D or YG YM2?

Slowly Ive come to the realization that I like durable watches. While the Jumbo is a classic I just don't wear it enough. I figure I will keep one AP (44mm RG ROO) and one PP (Nautilus Chrono) in the collection and flip two APs for another Rolex.

My signature has details of what is in my current collection.

Any opinions appreciated...

I should mention that the other Rolexes I have my eyes on are the WG Sub and the GMTIIc BLNR

I must say that the WG Sub is growing on me each time I try it on. But I would still prefer a Jumbo...

Out of those I'd pick the YG Sky Dweller...I just can't stand the YM2 - I think it's a horrible vulgar thing...

The Sky Dweller on the other hand is awesome.

I would keep the Jumbo for sure and trade the Panda and some cash for the YG YMII. It is one of my personal favorite Rolex and has wrist presence second to none. You would love it and truly is an amazing watch!! Also the WG Sub amazing as well and own it too! Cheers,

True - some people hate ROO's!

The WG sub however...very nice.

I have the BLNR and love it but it's no comparison to the WG Sub C. I would have a hard time letting go of the 2 APs you have though.

Plus 1.
Once you get used to the YMII engraved on the bez it is a great looking piece. I used to think it was an ugly duckling but I really love the look of this piece now. Also the new SS version looks really good.

The YM2 has a significant wrist presence. That said, do you find use of either to sway your decision?

If it were purely wrist presence, YM, but if you like complications, I'd go for the WG SkyD

Could directly swap the panda for a used YM2 bi-tone? Loads of presence and awesome continuation of colours

Man tough call... But I think I would go YG YM2 followed by the WG Sub.

Yes, the DDII or YM II are far nicer IMHO
