Well, I looked at these recently as well...

I was left a little flat by the DD in that combo...it just didn't "pop" as much as I wanted. That YM however, I thought was pretty cool. But takes are subjective so...curious to read your impressions. Cheers

Indeed takes are subjective πŸ˜‰

Mine was different to yours: - the DD pleasantly surprised me as one that I could perfectly wear daily, which was totally unexpected; - the YM left me flat on the other hand, maybe my expectations were set too high Thanks for posting your impressions!

I was the same with the Everose YM when it was first released a few years ago..

In photos I thought it was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen, but when I actually tried one on it just didn’t do it for me. Maybe it’d be a grower, and I’m sure it benefits from natural light, but something about it felt a little flat

Yeah, it happens

I always loved the RG YM though, and I was expecting to feel something for the WG, but was not the case.

Two-tone steel/yellow gold would look great with the green dial...

a yellow gold bezel would really help the dial pop more.

You are probably right

 
 By: 1WatchMan : February 20th, 2020-14:55
But I'm not a two-tone guy.

I'm not either...

but I am an art director so I think like one when looking at watches : )

I prefer the yacht... [nt]

WG YM 42mm

 
 By: neville : February 20th, 2020-15:43
Before Christmas I tried the WG Day Date with the blue dial / Roman numerals, it was a stunning looking piece. However I left with the YM WG 42mm, for me it doesn't shout, it is deceptive, so under the radar and it gets worn to the detriment of other nice...  

I agree with you on the YM, and I actually own the RG sibling 😊

 
 By: 1WatchMan : February 22nd, 2020-01:19
But maybe I was expecting to feel something else for the WG, which has not happened. I still prefer the color and size of mine (fortunately for me πŸ˜›). It's good to have choices! And I have a smaller wrist, yours looks great on you, enjoy it!

That DD looks pretty good on your wrist.

I’m a little undecided on it however, the WG/Green is maybe not as impressive in the metal as the RG/Green. But the latter is for many of us less wearable day to day.

I'm deeply in love with it, I do see it as a great daily wearer

 
 By: 1WatchMan : February 22nd, 2020-01:22
And a bit different to the more conventional blue, black or white options. It's a pity that my wallet does not agree with me 😭

That old wallet problem, soo many watches soo little money! We’ll never solve it!

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : February 22nd, 2020-07:16
Versus the blue, black etc I agree, this dial offers something different. And perhaps to turn what I originally said around a little, against the WG dial that dial while different doesn’t shout as loud at may do on the RG case and so as you say, it’s a da... 

I know a I'll never solve the problem 😜

 
 By: 1WatchMan : February 24th, 2020-01:17
I could definitely wear the WG daily, but never ther RG (it's just me)

I prefer the DD40 with olive green dial!

But I am biased... Best Thomas ...  

Congratulations, I love it, it looks so Rolex! πŸ˜‰

 
 By: 1WatchMan : February 24th, 2020-01:02
Would you recommend it as a daily? Thanks.

Yes, definitely!

 
 By: MTR : February 24th, 2020-16:05
Best Thomas

So sorry, it definitely is.

 
 By: MTR : February 25th, 2020-14:02
You can do everything with it. From opera to working to swimming. 😊 ...  

I beg your pardon!

 
 By: MTR : February 28th, 2020-13:46
😁 ...  

Please forgive me!!

 
 By: MTR : February 29th, 2020-11:29
My intentions are pure!! 😊 Best Thomas

Ok...

 
 By: MTR : March 3rd, 2020-09:28
Just to be sure you are going to buy it. 😊 Cheers Thomas ...  

LOL! [nt]

Honestly, I like the 40mm case

 
 By: 1WatchMan : February 25th, 2020-13:04
I cannot say the same about the 41 Datejust though. I do love the 36mm as well, but have to admit that it feels a hair small on my wrist. On the other hand, my father wears one regularly and the fit is perfect. So it all depends... πŸ˜‰

I like both... however I've never handled the YM42 in person...

 
 By: Kniazukay : February 24th, 2020-23:53
... and is it just me or do the indexes on the YM look enormous?

This was my first time

 
 By: 1WatchMan : February 25th, 2020-12:57
I'm not sure, but I guess they are bigger, as is the dial. I do prefer the proportions of the 40.

For me the DD wins...

 
 By: jkvs : February 27th, 2020-11:12
It is definitively THE watch for EVERY occasion. If you want your problem to be solved, take both

I fully agree πŸ‘πŸ»

 
 By: 1WatchMan : March 2nd, 2020-00:49
But taking both is not an option here, as I don't really want the YM. And I cannot stop thinking about the DD .. 😱
