I think the comments will prove this is a very polarizing take, and a very polarizing watch. For me, it's by far my least favorite. The bezel reminds me of seiko mods from a decade ago. The fully polished case is a bit lazy looking vs polished & brushed (I apply this same criticism to model DJ too). The Grey dial is interesting for sure, but I'm not really a fan of sunburst and the light blue was just a bit incongruous.
On top of that, I don't know what the YM is. At a glance, it's just a Sub with some details fettled. But with much less w/r. Which would be fine and honestly in-line with an identity as an upmarket sub... IF the YM had been exclusively precious metal and the sub was only SS (or TT at best). But the solid gold Subs lived on, and so did SS YM. And now we have a titanium YM that really feels like it should be called a Submariner, not a YM. Such a weird line with no core logic underlying its existence.
I know that''s nitpicking, but it's nice to have for a watch to have or have had an actual reason for existence that explains why it is how it is...
