Redundancy...
Hi guys, I really have a passion for 5711/12 models, especially the SS blue dials for both, followed by the RG pieces for both models, and the WG ones are not bad but not on top of my list, I don't like much the 5711 white dial though.Maybe I am crazy but I am considering flipping my 5726 and getting one of the following, 5167 in SS or RG, or 5711 either blue dial or a mint RG version, of course the 5711 would be redundant with already a 5712 in the stable but I really love these watches, even if I prefer by a small margin the 5712 over 5711, I still like it a lot, the 5726 is a great watch, but I prefer way more the ultra thin aspect of the 5711/12 pieces over the much thicker 5726.Having an AC is nice but I realize that I never look at it, I always know what day it is and what month, the only thing I do check sometimes is the date.

Would anybody buy a full platinum yachtmaster II?

Now I'm wondering if rolex would ever make a full platinum yachtmaster 2 with the ceramic blue bezel... not liking the platinum bezel on the white gold models. What do you guys think about a full platinum Rolex yachtmaster II? Would it be a little too heavy?
