You have watches you love, bought at a bargain, nothing more one can ask for. Enjoy your timepieces.

The poor Air King is getting thrashed in this thread. Fine by me. Pretty sure it will be in my next two AD purchases. I quite like it.

2- Yacht Master II all steel.
What do you guys think?

They're a bit much for most. I wouldn't say hated.

I wouldn’t say hated but rather just unpopular. But why should that matter if you enjoy them. When Paul Newman received his Daytona from his wife it was a very unloved model at the time. But it didn’t stop the man from wearing it every day. Enjoy

Most of the replies were blunt and, said yes to one or both, or just said pick what you like which mostly means yes (a way of being polite). So the consensus is yes if not hated then unpopular at least .

I like them both! Great pair. DDII is most impressive and the YMII is a fun and stunning watch on the wrist. Funny, only when wearing a YMII have strangers complimented me on a watch.

Beats being a clone!

I love the YM 2, just the 9 grand, fifth Rolex kind of love. The next one will be my fourth, and will likely be a Polar X. Unfortunately, I’m just not interested in it for 15k.

I agree, only reason I went for mine is that I got it for 13,5 as a full set, including receipt from our local AD. I was not willing to pay a penny more as it was already up there for me.

Not at all, I think you choose stunning peices, and the best part of it is that you don't see them on many wrists, that make you different!
