Love this watch ...

Its a lot of fun to wear, unlike most other watches, which typically have a serious, business-like vibe. Somehow it manages to evoke the feeling of being on a water- and wind-swept yacht, on a bright sunny day, with blue waves and blue sky extending to the horizon, even though I am sitting in my shabby apartment on a torn sofa!
Hodinkee did a review of this watch (older version) in 2015 and echoes this fun and adventurous feeling, which I think is quite unique for this watch!!
Aesthetically, I prefer the new hands because they complete the Rolex sports watch look.
There are also a few nice details such as the shape of the chrono pushers, which are in the shape of yacht winches, and the "Yachtmaster II" writing on the bezel, which reminds the yacht names printed on the hull.
The chrono is a lot of fun to operate and quite unique too!
