It's a big hunk of yellow gold with a tiny, intricate motor inside. If the question is "is it worth the price," then that answer is subjective.

That’s true and I’m on the fence about buying it. I originally had one awhile ago, but flipped it for a 116618. Also, correct: that is not at an AD and it is South Florida—who doesn’t wear sandals here?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I hate sandals, but that's because I think toes are gross, and that's a story for another time |

Because if they give them away, no one would want them.

Maybe it seems expensive because you are buying it twice?

I’m pissed off bc I’m addicted to my Apple Watch. It really works so well w notifications; health tracking; etc. I can leave my phone on vibrate all of the time and never have to worry about it ringing at an in opportune time. Damn you, Apple.
I do want that YM2 , though... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Expensive is subjective, here’s mine and, despite this being the most unloved Rolex amongst TRF aficionados, it was one that particularly drew me. However, I will admit that it is unlikely that I would have bought this watch had it carried over the ceramic bezel from other variants in the model line.

I own one. May take it out for a spin this weekend.
It's an amazing watch... I've used that watch vigorously throughout the years. I have however found love in RG Patek, so the YG Rolexes havent been getting enough wrist time. |
