All,

My buddy's 40th birthday coming up and his Mrs wants to get him a YM2 as a surprise.

Any chance of finding one in stock with Rolex or are they long waiting list only/ grey market/ 2nd hand?

If anyone has seen one; let me know please! Even a good value, unworn grey market watch.

Thanks!

My next watch! Tried one on a couple of weeks ago at my AD when picking up a new GMT (nearly buckled and bought both!!). Will enquire if it’s still there, but suspect it won’t be.

I'm not up with the various Yacht-Masters, never looked at them before, but Wow! I had a look in the Cambridge Mappin & Webb window on Saturday, and they've an Everose model with black strap. I thought it looked gorgeous, for what it's worth.

Certainly one of the best Rolexes out there. And relatively easy to get.

Yacht-master and Yacht-master ll are very easy to get hold of, you should be able to walk into most ADs and get one that day.

I think Lord Sugar was wearing one of these on last weeks apprentice, instead of his old Daytona he's now had for a couple of years (which he wore on this years first episode).

I met him in the lift at the leadenhall building at the end of the day finishing the interviews a couple of years ago. Nice chap. Nice watches!

Think we got one, brand new, dealer, RRP etc at the local shop! That was easier than expected!

Thanks for the help, all! Will try and get a pic to close the thread out, in a couple of weeks!

Great news! My man doesn’t have one in stock anyway and says they are in very short supply.
