Great review by OP. I just got a 2017 ss ym2 and was searching for reviews.

I think the triangle at 12 and slightly elongated marker at 6 make it easier to tell the time, especially ***when it is on the wrist***. Also, the mercedes hand helps, because it automatically is associated with the hour hand.

However, if it is *not* on the wrist and some distance away, it is difficult to tell the time because wg hands tend to disappear on white background.

Similar to how you use the Submariner bezel by setting it with the minute hand, I set the red "second" hand from the timer to the minute hand for the time and then hit the stop button on the chronograph. This effectively does the same thing as the bezel on the Sub. BINGO, now I can time things up to 60 minutes. Problem solved!
This is Brilliant! I'll use this whenever I need more than 10 mins. Thanks OP.
