It goes from there. People in denial will argue this obvious point and the YM II has gained more support since I first owned the TT version in 2015. People flipped out when six digit references were first released and have since gone quiet. I have big wrists, long arms, big hands and I suppose that helps but liking the watch is all that matter and personally, I like it.

Great post. I wonder how many people don’t like it, just because other people don’t need like it? Seems to be a lot of following the herd that goes on in watch collecting.
I have never owned one but like it very much. I also still like and wear my Panerai collection. Until others start paying for my watches, I will buy what I like!
