Great pics..thanks for sharing. I'm seriously considering the YG YM II (which would be only my second Rolex), it has a presence and beauty that not all pictures manage to capture, stunning watch in the flesh for sure.

938g of Rolex heaven.

Thanks for the very interesting comparison.

Very informative, especially for those who may be "weighing up" their purchase!

Thanks for putting up similar pics of your watches, really confirms that the GMTc is the next one for me.

And I hate that I know that other GMTc belongs to your BIL, man we know too much about each other on here...lol!

I wouldn't say that I'm let down at all by steel. In fact it's refreshingly light and conveys a toolishness that their precious metal twins don't. I also find that I can wear steel watches looser than heavier models (except the DSSD) as they don't flop around as much.
thanks for the perspective, mike! again, beauties!!
