@Throttle2 thought you might like the new gold YM II? Still too big for me at 44mm but visually it's an improvement over the previous iteration...

On the contrary bro, the YM2 is the fugliest Rolex to me apart from the skydweller and James Cameron SD. 
All also too big. 

the only acceptable YM to me is the first edition YM (using the Sub case) in Solid  gold ref 16628 which was produced only from 1992-1997

I basically find all Rolex sports complications design above 40mm looking imbalanced, out of place and bearing little or no true Rolex design heritage.  

Imagine Porsche giving up the froggy eyes on its sports cars and adopting a big grille…..

So i will never ever buy any of them as i have never before.  Sticking really tight to th classics and vintage.

moreover, retired liao, only looking more to sell not buy.  😅😅

I retired in early 2024 leh….😁

Hoping to eventually sell all since none of my children are into such things

As for now, i will keep the below due to sentimental reasons

1. 1973 Red Sub ref 1680

2. 1996 Personalized Subdate ref 16610

3. 2005 Daytona Steel PN custom ref 116520

4. 1993 1st RedRuby MOP YM ref 16628

5. 1988 Last Edition Wood dial Daydate ref 18238

6. 1991 tropical Ribena Sub ref 16618

7. 2021 Green Oyster Perp 41 ref 124300

The rest, i will look to sell now and along the way.    
at least, these are my thoughts now. Subject to change 😁

Putting on my Gen Z cap I think this is actually brilliant idea vs previous Blancpain and Omega collabs.

Young ppl no interest in wearing watches anymore but this is more like a hanging accessories on bags and waist that fit into the current trends.
