Yes that’s why the WG LM was a catalogue watch and the YG version is an off catalogue, hence its not in the catalogue

I am drooling all over my keyboard. Jeez that is even more gorgeous than WG Le Mans. Too bad I cannot even dare to imagine owning one.

It honestly makes sense to not put it in the catalog. The WG was absolute unobtainium for 99.999% of collectors, so they may well not put the ADs through the additional inquiries.

That being said, the WG looks so much better, and it's not even close!

Wonder if it will get discontinued next year and a RG released.

Agreed. YG and white subdials is a mess ...

It’s not my favourite combo either

I wonder if Rolex ever taken a catalogue model and made it “off catalogue”? The WG Le Mans was such a short lived model.

I liked the WG better, but yes both it and this new one are unicorns. I am going to MotoGP at COTA this weekend. It attracts a wealthy international crowd and Rolex seems to be the uniform, I’ll be watching for someone sporting a WG version.

100%. By the time our plebeian eyes have seen a screenshot of a picture of a video reposted on a forum, they've already been allocated to Wahlberg, Mayer, some tennis guy, some footballers, Kevin O'Leary, etc. The probability of you ever seeing one with your own, natural-born eyeballs is slim-to-none, let alone having the opportunity to buy one in a store.

I totally agree when it’s colored like YG or RG. Looks good on WG or PT.

That said, I’d buy this YG Le Mans in a heartbeat
