At 35mm this YG RO is a stunner in more ways than one. You get that smaller link sizing which, given the overall shape of link the Royal Oak, wears more like a 38mm plus the added flare of the link diamond indices. Add that to the full gold bracelet and classic dial layout and you have everything you want from a Royal Oak with just a sprinkle of something special via the diamonds. And again, at under $30k, it's hard to argue with this one.

But that was 2018 and where link the Black Bay GMT arguably broke ground a litany of other brands big and small have since created well-trodden ground. Heck you can now get a flyer-style GMT with the Miyota 9075 or similar link for well under 1000 from brands link like Lorier and Vaer. So it's a different I'd argue far more competitive market just five years later.
