I own and love both. Very different watches. I see from your profile you have a RG Daytona, a GMT and a DD2, depending on the GMT model I'm leaning toward the YM2 for you based on your current collection. If you have a ceramic GMT than the you might find the Sub to be too similar.

What holes are you looking to fill?

I think its futile comparing two watches based on price

IF you really like the YM2 then price is irrelevant imo

both r great. I would get a Hulk and a BLNR instead of a YM2, but those who really really really like the YM2 would get all 3 lol

cant really see anything to justify spending 5-6k more on the YM but that is not so say it is not a great watch, the only reason for this is they are both equally good in my opinion

if you love the YM then would go for it regardless of price, as most of the extra cost will still be preserved in its resale value, but if you are going by cost i would choose the sub and keep the extra money free for next purchase

Sub LVC for me but if you crave the YMII, do not settle over a few k.

YM2 will give you some size variation in your collection. It also has a nice white dial if your Daytona does not. There is nothing else like the LVC in the Rolex lineup. This is tough one. I'm actually 50/50 on this based on your established collection.

Very different watches. Both or based on your collection YM2. If the GMT is five digit Sub.

I love my lv. YM2 is way too big for me. I plan on picking up a YM 1 blue patty tomorrow though.

I would go with the LVc if I were you. The YM2 doesn't really do much for me.
