I owned one a couple of years ago and regret trading it.
Along with the DSSD is my favourite Rolex, I have a small 6.5 inch wrist and wears well, the 44mm size is ideal, it’s a mans watch unlike something like a Daytona which is too small and a unisex piece in my opinion
The only downside is pcl bracelet, clasp is a scratch magnet but with wrist awareness it’s manageable

Bought my YM2 SS back in 2015 and have no intention of selling it, ever.

Love the watch, wears comfortably on my 7.5 wrists.

Wears super comfortable and the 10 min timer is perfect for timing things for a short period. IE cooking a steak, really anything cooking.

I have one and think it is a great looking watch. That having been said, it doesn’t get much wear

It's my favorite Rolex by far. I also think it's the best looking.

Wears very well - not too heavy or too light and sits on the wrist nicely. Because it isn't popular you hardly see any in the wild, which suits me very well.

By the way, I don't own a yacht and I've never used the countdown timer.

I like the watch a lot but it's too large for me. I actually would love to be using one for its intended purpose but no time nor the right boat for the task. It would be a lot of fun to race again.
