numbers and markings on the dial may look unusual on a watch. An important element of watch design is to make the watch easily readable. Rolex meets this criterion better than most manufacturers with count down chronograph function in the YMII. The “frosted” look with polished numbers on bezel is elegant. The “Yacht-Master II” on the bezel looks better in the metal than on most pictures. It is really casual. I understand, however, well that the design may give rise to a variety of feelings.

Funny how a strap can change a watch.

I must confess that the Yachtmaster II is not my favourite Rolex, but on another side, the complication is an excellent idea. Therefore, the strap makes the watch looks less ...Bulky, and enhances this special dial. Thanks for these unusual pictures. Best... 

addition of the strap...
