I can't explain with words how much this watch means to me.

Took a lot of hard work and patience but I couldn't be happier owning it and having it on my wrist instead of looking at pictures of it online

The watch is much more personable and easier to wear than I would have imagined. The yellow and blue accents makes the watch incredibly visually impactful vs gaudy, which is what most people posting here w little experience with the watch seems to believe. I'd say, as far a gold sports watches go ( if there is such a thing) it's the top of the pile IMO. And this is coming from a guy that has had every iteration of a PM sub and daytona. My gold collection wouldn't be complete without the 116688.

I don’t own one but truly admire the looks of the YM II
Remember the SD4K got no love while in production and now became a “hot watch”
