How soon until Rolex puts out a nice looking gen of the Yachtmaster II?

Sorry :) Maybe it'll grow on me ...

TBH Asides from the Gaytona the YM2 is THE ugliest Rolex... $35,000 for THAT? With the money you could buy a TT Submariner [$6,500], TT Daytona [$12,000], SS DJ [$4,500], Air-King [$3,500], Yacht-Master PL/SS [$7,900] and still have money left to buy a nice watch box for $300 and a safe to put them in...

Edit: Never mind, the $34,850.00 for the White Gold version... :( Plus tax it's more than $35,000...

$31,500 is for the Yellow-Gold version... :|

I am still stunned by Rolex putting their name on the "Clownmaster II". That is without a doubt the most horrendous looking watch Rolex has ever pumped out. Well, as a standard watch that is. Some of their Blinged out customs are horrible also.

I agree with pwrslider. Somebody popular like brtelec will get a black faced dial version and everybody will follow. :wink:

It will grow on you like a fungus. :D

I still can't get over the fact that you can get a nice Daytona like my dream meteorite dial in white gold for $20k and still have left for a yummy two-tone GMT Master 2... for the price of one of those... :(

This watch was just reviewed by one of the watch magazines. Very highly rated. Very accurate. Rolex only makes a few and only in gold, so $30K+ limits ownership. The countdown feature apparently works very well.

Still, as much as I like Rolex, I'm not looking at getting one of these.

I read the review and it tested as I would expect a watch of this price point. That has nothing to do with the fact that it is ugly.

Well now I did not say it was the only ugly rolex! There is one other that leaps to mind, but enough said about that. :D

I think the current Milgauss, looks like shit. The green and orange combination and the lightning bolt second hand reminds me of something you would find in the $9.95 rack at Wal-Mart.
