By-Tor Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) The gen is ugly, and the rep is bad. Don't bother. Edited August 27, 2007 by By-Tor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Some dealers have different versions of the 6 o'clock sub-dial, but are are misprinted either a 1-31 month/calendar or 1-24 day/calendar. The crown guards are also way off; ironic for a Rolex replica, these aren't thick enough. Neither one of these flaws allow this piece to be believable. Wait for the next generation to come out--probably within 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt.watch.obsessive Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'm not particularly fond of either model, but at least the new version has (1) a complication and (2) a connection to yachting...not sure why the gen is so poorly received. Most of the new models strike me as far worse. Anyhow...agreed...not a great rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 ...not sure why the gen is so poorly received.Because it looks like it has been designed by a blind octopus with a nasty case of the DTs, that's why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 but at least the new version has (1) a complication and (2) a connection to yachting......as has the Tag Heuer Calibre S which in either Aquaracer or Link outfit, is an infinitely more stylish and practical Regatta timepiece than this Rolex monstrosity.

guanaco Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) Thats a horrible design, yet oddly attractive ! The guys over at Rolex must've been smoking peyote or similar either way ... Edited August 27, 2007 by guanaco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 U G L Y YOU AIN'T GOT NO ALIBI! YOU UGLY YEAH YEAH YOU UGLY! More than anything i think that what really make this watch the worst are the horrible bezel and blue red color combo on the face.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 That ebay auction is the first peek I have had up close to this new design. I like the new clasp. Not only does it have a flip lock, but the foldover is actually made of 2 pieces. It is spring loaded not just pressure clipped into place like the old oyster bracelets. This is following the lead of the Rolesor clasp on the more recent day dates. Another good innovation by Rolex. The dial is but ugly however. I hope the rep makers get a good rep of this clasp soon. It will probably be the standard on all Rolex models if it isn't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 "Notes: This watch comes complete with all the box, manuals, certificate, etc. This is a new model that was just recently released by Rolex and extremely hard to find. Most dealers do not even have this watch in stock. There is currently a waiting list for this watch." TRANSLATION: "We got suckered into taking this monstrosity on trade with a formerly valued client, who unluckily had all the paperwork we were hoping he'd lost when we said we'd trade but only with everything. This is a new model that was just recently released by Rolex and extremely hard to stomach. Most AD's do not even have this watch in stock because they know they can't move it. We hope there is someone stupid enough, with a big enough bank account to take this white elephant off our hands, because we don't want to wait until it's a vintage collectible to get most of our money back out of it."

Cool! How does it work?" The movement is probably too much for our friendly Chinese engineering squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z80 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Well, at least Rolex must have cut production costs since the final point of assembly for this fine timepiece is the inside of a horse's anus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 What a POS....they may as well bring out a 42mm or 44mm Rolex and break all molds instead of making a sh*t looking watch like this. Even though a 44mm Rolex would [censored] off the purists, it could not be as bad for the brand as this thing....well either way I would rock a 44mm Rolex son!!!

rckh Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 The most ugly rep I have seen....Save your money & don't even think about it...I recommend u wait for the New 50th GMTII ceramic bezel. Best Regards, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 For some very weird reason, I kinda like the YM-II. Perhaps because I never had any Rolex watches, nor do I know anything about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though a 44mm Rolex would [censored] off the purists, it could not be as bad for the brand as this thing....well either way I would rock a 44mm Rolex son!!! With the big watches from Panerai and Breitling these days, the only type of rollie I would consider would be something in 44mm... the others just seem too small now. Not that I was ever a big fan of them to start with. On the topic at hand, although not exactly a good look for the YM 2, it is such a good 'functional' watch for its purpose.
