Asking which model more like between 116622 and 116613 two forum friends told me one oh they that he likes the YM but it seems that is not a popular watch forum and another friend chose not to model but also told me that the YM is not very popular and don't know the reason.
The question is there are a difference between believe there may be popular and they really like.
Once I happened to buy a Panerai and consulting in the forum by a large majority advised me a model of this brand but almost a year later, I wanted to sell and cost me a lot and lost a lot of money aside. That's why I'd bring clarify this issue.
It is a matter of taste but I think aesthetically the YM SS and blue is more elegant than the Sub 116613 LB.
What happens is that it is also very nice to own a watch that is popular and desirable ...
Are saying?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FOR ALL OF YOU FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy the watch you want and don't give a hoot in hell what others think. You might even start a trend.

I agree with Dan. I get a lot of enjoyment out of white Milgauss and I don't care it's not very popular. Get what YOU want.

Great response, Dan. Take your time and keep revisiting an AD. Eventually the watch YOU like will bubble to the surface.

Totally agreed.

I have some watches in my collection that most well informed forum members will thumb their noses at. But who cares, I buy what I like. If I buy what others like or what is deem popular and not actually enjoy the watch in the end, it is not going to bring me any joy and a waste of money.

CWIN · 29 November 2013, 01:56 AM

Definitely agree with Dan. Life's short. Buy what you like and enjoy it.

rolex75216 · 29 November 2013, 01:57 AM

Buy the one that you like best. If you change your mind down the road you can always swap it out for the other model. An even better idea would be to get both!

AK797 · 29 November 2013, 02:00 AM

Ofc its easy to say just buy what you want, but to be brutally honest we are all affected by other people's opinions, esp those of people we respect, and so on a forum like this you will be affected and if you are on here everyday and you want to interact as much as possible then I think it makes sense to buy a watch that you both like and that will also involve you in the forum and not leave you just whistling in the dark.

Hate to disagree, mate. The people I respect also respect my decisions. Might not be a watch they'd buy but they realize one size [or design] does not fit all.
There are many collectors here who own watches I'd never buy. However, I appreciate the fact they find value and enjoyment from them. And I, by extension, get enjoyment out of that.

Diversity is what makes this forum fun....like Dan said, everybody has differing opinions, likes & dislikes. If we all had the same popular watch, this place would be pretty boring.

All opinions are very valuable and thank them. But yours is very important as well understood how I feel and how I see things. Anyway I'm sure everyone feels influenced by all the people around us.
If it were otherwise would not be as expensive somewatches and many other things.
Thank you.

Does this mean you're buying what you want because it is what you like and not because it is popular? I sure hope so. Happy hunting!

bde · 29 November 2013, 02:33 AM

Dan.

OP - buy what you like man.

So you're trying to get the popular opinion about whether or not you should follow popular opinion?

Sums it up well.

joe100 · 29 November 2013, 02:53 AM

The last thing I'd care about is what a bunch of folks on the Internet think. Not saying anything bad about TRF and the fine folks here but I wouldn't buy a watch based on a popularity vote. Based on the verity of watches to be found here, most folks don't either.

I buy what I like. Take the Submariner. Most folks 'round these parts think it's the greatest watch ever but, after owning a few, I have no desire for them. They're interesting to me as an iconic Rolex but I don't have a burning desire to own one anymore. I had a DRSD for a few months and the only thing I could think while I owned it was "I spent how much on a Submariner with an HE valve and red paint?" It killed it for me. I sold out, bought a GMT 1675 and was much happier.

What I'm trying to say is: don't base your purchases on what everyone else likes or wants you to have. Being different is refreshing once in a while. If you buy what you love then resale won't be important.

Wllnv19 · 29 November 2013, 02:55 AM

While I agree you buy what you like, sometimes by seeing what others like you are influenced a little. When I first saw the LV-C I didn't really care for it but the more I saw pictures of it the more I liked it and it became part of my collection and actually one of my favorites, but I bought it because I wanted it not because someone told me that's what I should buy

captkevin · 29 November 2013, 02:57 AM

Both are great pieces. You may get tired of the gold in 116613, I know I do.

SixPak · 29 November 2013, 03:04 AM

I have some watches that are very popular and some that are very unpopular. I'm happy with them all.

AF_Rob · 29 November 2013, 03:07 AM

I buy what I like. Other people's opinions don't sway my taste, but they do educate me and allow me to gain insight into models I like. If I like a model, i seek the opinions of those who already own it.

LI Matt · 29 November 2013, 03:13 AM

Forums like this are great for "I'm considering these two options, what do you guys think?" and then seeing what people say.

Ultimately, you're the one who's going to wear it, you're the one spending the money, you're the one who has to live with the decision.
