Would I wear one? Sure, any day. Would I buy one? No chance.

Since you're in FLA, join a yacht club and start racing!

Then it'll fit right in

Looks like you'll be able to buy 3 Expy IIs for the price of one YM II S/S.....

Actually, Italy VAT is 21% but effectively if you claim back via credit card u will get back 15% subject to exchage rate.,....slightly above 16k USD

freddyttt · 28 April 2013, 07:13 AM

So, - safe to say that the YM stole the show two years in a row??

The Daytona WG and SS dials are very different and easily distinguish the two metals. I think they should have done the same with the YM SS and made something visibly different on the dial or bezel, so I do think its a tough break on the WG owners.

Lol-x · 28 April 2013, 09:29 AM

As for the YM-II, while I appreciate the technical excellence of the movement I'm not sold on the aesthetics..

If they make and sell a zillion of these then collectability will be questionable, if on the other hand it does not get sales traction and it is withdrawn in a couple of years it will be very collectable.

JetRanger · 28 April 2013, 10:48 AM

Very nice in SS. My guess is it will easily come in at $25k+.

niner niner seven · 30 April 2013, 04:53 AM

yeah i am huge time into this watch mainly bcuz of the 4161 movement and glad they offer a SS so i can afford to go it.

tomchicago · 30 April 2013, 04:53 AM

so how the heck do you read that dial?

No that is a great look, I am liking the all gold look w that white face even more post viewing your photo.

Anyone have a USD price now?

Of course, this depends on the delta. . .

I'm not following-

So if SS is cannibalizing YG/WG/RGTT new sales, there will be less YG/WG/RGTT YMII's in the second hand market. Right? Working upon that logic what makes you surmise that this will depress WG/YG/RGTT model prices? If your phenomenon plays out, the WG/YG/RGTT will be even MORE scarce 2nd hand.

IMO - The entry of a full SS model isn't going to detract from the WG/YG/TTRG prices. In this price range you purchase based on preference. Not necessity.

On topic - the SSYMII is simply stunning.

Just my .02. YMMV.

Victory07 · 1 May 2013, 10:00 AM

The YMII is nice and heavy. But not as heavy as this guy!

In fact I love the heft of it. When I put on my GMT or Datejust, or old Subs they can't compare in wrist feel. I've come to prefer the heavier feel and distinct presence of a larger and heavier wristwatch. And my wrists aren't that big.

alexthegreat123 · 1 May 2013, 10:03 AM

Love it!

Victory07 · 1 May 2013, 10:03 AM

Very nice looking watch. Too much money for SS.

If they were $12K USD then they would sell lots of them.

Not realistic, though.

The MSRP on the SS SD (44mm, but with a less complicated movement) is $12K.

I'm no expert but then again it doesn't take an expert to figure out the MSRP of this new piece. I'm thinking the SSYMii will come in at anywhere from 16-19kUSD MSRP.

agentsn00 · 14 May 2013, 03:01 PM

Anyone know when they hit stores? Hopefully mid June

kmleffler · 14 May 2013, 10:17 PM

I like the YMII, but cannot understand why Rolex finds it necessary to put names on all their watches. The name on the bezel is a little much. Why doesn't Rolex follow the lead of either AP or PP in this regard.

What does the 0-10 tell you ?

Still, in person it is stunning. I'm afraid that they will set the price beyond what I want to pay for a Stainless Steel watch so I won't have one on my wrist any time soon..

However, I put this one in the category of the old moon phase and highly complicated watches that Rolex collectors now search ceaselessly for and pay astronomical figures to have..

Yes, if you are wanting a true future "collectible" that will bring huge box-office figures, this is the one to get..

FrankNYC · 15 May 2013, 11:10 AM

Agree with those that say "Yatch-Master II" is too much. I bet the next model will not have it, if Rolex were to listen to the consensus

SohAIS · 15 May 2013, 11:25 AM

If the MSRP of SS model will be in the 19-21k range. It will make the all gold look like a deal(if you didn't pay full Msrp that is)

DreambreaX · 15 May 2013, 04:50 PM

greattt

kilyung · 15 May 2013, 11:44 PM

I'm still torn between the YG and SS models. I guess it'll depend on which is the better deal.

SohAIS · 16 May 2013, 01:48 AM

All gold ones can be had for $31500 BNIB & SS once out will be around 19K-21K(probably no discounts for a while). If that is the case clearly all gold is a better value between the two. IMHO
