Perhaps. But the YM2 hasn't gone this way and it has a Rolex name on it

I think the YM complication and size has been the factors causing it's slow selling. I mean, i don't need a 10 min countdown timer. The sub however is, well, a sub.

Don't like the Colors either...I love their tribute to the Newman variants though...they are sharp.

I agree....the YM1 though isn't necessarily a great seller though either for what it's worth

Terrible. But if it was released and I wanted it, chances are I still wouldn't be able to get it

No. That's like taking a '57 Chevy Bel Air and painting it fluorescent orange and putting on spinners. No way.

I love covers of Beatles songs and many photoshop re imaginings on trf but these hands are a deal breaker for me. The taste and proportions are out of whack. No, for me.
