I realize there have been some photos of this YM posted on RWI.
In fact, I posted some trying to show the flecks in the dial.
But this is my series showing the whole watch.
Spirit suggested I try less bling and more nature so I did.
But I just couldn't resist some bling at the end of this series.
You should realize the YM is a very reflective gray or silver watch.
It will take on color from light reflecting off its surroundings.
Thus, when it is photographed on brown wood, the dial tends to take on a brown tone.
In these photographs you will see the dial showing different tones.
The gray tones are the ones you will see on your wrist most of the time because the light hitting the watch will be blue/gray sky light.
But at times of the day when the light in the sky is warm, so will the dial be a warm tone.
It is just a feature of this highly reflective watch.
Also, in some of the photos the hour markers are greenish.
This is just the lume showing after a flash charged it.
You can see the height of the crystal, but I did not photograph the clasp because I don't like clasps.
I didn't try to show the flecks in the dial here because I have done that before with close-up shots.
But if you enlarge many of these photos on your monitor you will be able to see the flicks.
If you have a gen YM or good rep YM please compare it with these photos and post your comments.
This is not an easy watch to photograph because of its highly reflective surfaces.
