Anyone with the 2015 YM gold on black comment on their wrist size and if the Oysterflex band fits them? I've seen in other threads that the band is barely adjustable and would like to make sure it will fit my small wrist before ordering!

Hello. I have a fairly small wrist and found Oysterflex to be rather small so I'd say if you have a wrist larger than 7.5 inch in diameter it may not fit. I also have a Rolex rose gold steel band which I may put on watch for comfort and a bit more "gold" look.

My wrist is 6.5in. Sounds like this would still be too large for me. Hopefully they rep different size bands like the gen at some point.

I just checked and the band mine came with is fit for a 7" to 7.5 size ( there is about a half inch adjustment in clasp) so if 7" could still work you may be able to wear it fine. You could always choose for a rose gold steel bracelet however or what may look cool is obtaining a black steel bracelet :)

Thank you very much for checking on that. Will do a little more measuring and may pull the trigger!

Is there a decent rep of the YMII?

All the ones I've managed to find are pretty average.

As for the OYSTERFLEX Bracelet on the 2015: The one I received from Stan is too large by at least a finger width (when adjusted as small as possible) and I have a 7.25 inch wrist. From what I can tell you need a wrist larger than 7.5 inch- ,maybe closer to an 8 inch, for it to come close to working. I'm getting the sense that this is the only size out there... Am I wrong? I hope other sizes are out there ( I love the watch).

Who's doing the best rose gold 2015 version I'm in love with it! And is it any good if not might go for the tc version as had the lv from him a year or so ago and still going strong!

Stupid me. Forgot I had the YM Rose Gold. Just the very first 21j from Thailand. Cost £75. Might need to upgrade it.
I have triplets.

The blue is the latest JF. Mine came m2m but is available from the TD's. The platinum is TC's latest Elabore version. Ordered in August and delivered today. Quicker than expected. Cost about $680

My favourite is the blue by far but the TC would be 'better' quality. Because of this I will probably invest quite a bit in the blue getting a gen crystal, DWO and the bezel click sorted because that is very poor.

Looks amazing. Is this the v2 with the oysterflex? Whom did you get it from?
The bezel looks great and doesnt look too smudgy as ive seen on other pics.

Hi Guys,

Since joining this forum I made my first purchase.

a JF Blue Dial Yachtie V1. I was told the only difference is the movement? Is the dial colour changed as well?

Also.. The only Mod I would like to do this is a correct DWO.. Do you guys know which one fits this, and which one is the closest to gen?

I am not in the game to fool people, but I don't want to be called out at work.. Doing a sales function:)
