Finally, I think I am in love...
I have been wearing my YM II daily for seven months now.
All I can tell you guys is that I am in love with this watch... I admit I had some thoughts of flipping it due to its big cost, but I always went back and kept it. Yesterday I left it at home and felt totally naked... I missed its weight and extreme looks I visited my dealer and tried on many different rolex models but none of them meant something to me... Especially the ss and tt subs that I used to wear in the past felt like small toys on my wrist. The YM II is trendy, dressy, sporty, blingy, funny, ugly, wierd, unique and beautiful at the same time. It is also a rolex and a piece of technological mastery that not everyone wears around you... I am not rich but I can still pay my loans and live a normal life even by keeping the watch, so why flipping it? Life is too short to flip things that make you happy! ...well, I guess I did it again! I am in love  Cheers to my big bad boy

Glad you are happy with it Michali!!
Afterall it is a unique piece of technological mastery as you said and a good-looker too. It is not ugly at all!! And it is heavy and robust too!! My GMT-IIc feels like a toy compared to that chunk of gold!  ...I should have run away with it while i was holding it when we met with Tempo in Athens  Kalhmera Michali!!! |

Totally agree, you have the best, worst, ugliest, prettiest, most desirable, most talked about Rolex ever. Wear in good health, this watch is stunning.

If I had the money, that is the watch I would get for exactly the reasons you mentioned.
