They will make enough to sell to collectors who will trade them amongst themselves due to exclusivity. it does little for me and is massively over priced for a mass produced supplier. But Like Aston Martin who found enough buyers for its Million plus super car so to for this watch. High level seeking more rarified air.....

It looks fine to me but far from a grail, I would take a PP any day and if a Rolex grail YG Sub. But i appreciate we all have different tastes.

Don't tempt me... I'm so tempted to forgo the YG YM2 in favor of the RG 5980-1R!

Hmmm, with the market softening I am not sure Rolex can sell it at sticker.

I didn't follow the white gold sky dweller price trend, was it selling sticker price right off the bat? I know they gave discounts on the yellow and rose gold version as soon as it hit the market here in Asia.

I feel the same way as you. It's to bad Rolex feels differently otherwise I might own one too.

Saw it at the Orlando Rolex, sitting in its own glass case. Looks nice, but not 75k nice IMO.
