The YM2 is more comfortable on the wrist

I would do it in a heartbeat.

Thing is, if you do the flip and regret it, you'll have no trouble moving the D-Blue on and you can get another YM II. You can't really lose (much).

I probably wouldn't, but I really like the YMII. The D-Blue is cool, but there are other divers (and seems like you already own a few), while the YMII is so unique in the Rolex lineup.

I do think the D-Blue might be more collectible way down the line, but short term, I think you've already felt much of the depreciation from the used YMII, while the D-Blue from new will further depreciate.

If you have the patience to wait, I suspect there will be a bracelet update/case update for the DSSD in 2018. Similar to or exactly the same as the SD 43 bracelet. My assumption is purely speculative but that improvement seems rational. I'd wait and see if I were you.
