Love the comparisons between 226659 and 116622 - I have 126622 and thinking of getting 226659. Does it wear much bigger?

Does anyone happen to know what the lug-to-lug width is for the YM42? Looking to see if Everest makes a strap that fits it.

Why? It comes fitted with the excellent Oysterflex, completc with 18c gold clasp. Why would you wish to fit an inferior strap? What could be gained?
It seems this design was carefully made to suit the Oysterflex. It’s a package.

I don't notice much difference between the two.

The really nice thing is that the 226659 has the New glidelock which is different than the Glidelock in the Subs. It is thinner and more comfortable.

Along with the comfort of the OF, I sometimes forget it's even on

Ok so I used to own a 116505 RG Daytona

At the time I thought that was the most comfortable watch I owned.

The WG YM is actually more comfortable than that.

It wears very comfortably, and the heft is amazing. It feels so nice on the wrist and reminds of that fact often.

Note: little bump on my wrist is where the cat claw impaled me... lol.

It is truly a special watch.

Sometimes when I wear it, I notice the clouds parting and rays of sun shing down on her...

Still Loving the WG42

It is just so comfortable and low key. When the sun hits it, the bezel shines like diamonds, or when the sun hits the crystal.

Otherwise, it's just a under-the-radar, except for those in the know, sporty ocean watch...

You convinced me. Here’s mine. I love how it wears and feels on the wrist. Thinner than a Daytona and just the right stealthiness-to-bling factor.
