Ok, I'm still learning from the Pro's on this site.

I couldn't help myself after trying this on at my AD's.

This site can be bad for your health.

Lord have mercy on me as my S.O. thinks I've gone over the edge...

Gaijin · 4 March 2007, 01:21 PM

Woo-Hoo!!! Beautiful! Congrats!

WERNERTURNER · 4 March 2007, 01:22 PM

In the words of Jeff Spicoli...Awesome...totally awesome!! A beautiful set. Congrats on the new Yachtmaster. It is my personal favorie Rolex.

Ragu · 4 March 2007, 01:33 PM

Thanks all for the kind words, however I'm still finding the protective plastic pieces on the YM.

Also, had 2 extra links added.

Watches with my Seecamp back-up

Edensknight · 4 March 2007, 01:48 PM

Man that's a sweet Yacht-Master Ragu.

This site is going to be bad for my marriage with the way my wife is fussing about how much time I'm spending on it.

Solo,
Saturday a friend and I took a bike ride south to Everglades National Park. Once inside the park it was 38 miles to Flamingo with nothing in-between but wildlife. Once we got to Flamingo we go to the visitor center and they have posted:

"DANGER, WILD WILDLIFE".

The week before they caught a 16' Burmese Python that stretched across the street. It weighed 175 lbs. and gave them all they could handle.

The Crocs are 14 to 18' long and weigh over 800 lbs. So considering what Nature has to offer carrying my Seecamp is the minimum.

The ranger said that people have these exotic animals until they become too large to manage, and then they release them into the Everglades and become "HUGE".

It is conservately estimated that over 93 thousand snakes have been released into the Everglades in the past 5 years!

Welcome to the Tropics

Fiwi · 4 March 2007, 11:33 PM

Congratulations on the YM! That's a great pair you have.

mike · 5 March 2007, 12:38 AM

Big congrats my friend.

I've tried the Plat/SS YM on and it's just an amazing piece!

So comfortable with just the right weight. The maxi lume is great!! Well done!

Alex Stylianou · 5 March 2007, 12:48 AM

Oh YEAH!!!! You HAVE gone over the edge, man!!! Welcome!!!!

That is one spur-of-the-moment purchase, Mr. Spaghetti Sauce! Congrats on both the watch AND the superb photos.

Chris B · 5 March 2007, 01:55 AM

Very many congratulations, brilliant pics, very inventive,

Ragu · 5 March 2007, 01:56 AM

Well, not a spur of the moment thing as I've been looking at some vintage Rolex watches. Some how I kept going back to the new/modern Rolex watches.

I like that the Plat/SS YM and White Exp. II aren't all that common (visible) down here and not sure why that is.

Not having the most popular Rolex's appeals to me. However, when I first saw the Plat/SS YM in person and then tried it on and how it sits on my wrist, that was a beautiful moment.

As many have already found out and many more will find out this place is addicting.

advocatia · 5 March 2007, 02:05 AM

i have had mine for a few years now.
had plenty of time to collect some great pics.

advocatia · 5 March 2007, 02:12 AM

Tomko · 5 March 2007, 02:27 AM

To paraphrase my Doctor: After looking at those images I think that I've got to go take the edge off!

Fiwi · 5 March 2007, 02:51 AM

Advocatia, those are some amazingly beautiful pics of your watch! TFS!

advocatia · 5 March 2007, 02:55 AM

i can't take credit for the photos as i did not take them, but I do own a SS/PLT YM.

here's the extent of my picture taking skills:

JJ Irani · 5 March 2007, 04:26 AM

Congrats on a beauty, Ragu......you certainly don't waste any time, do you?

Prince · 5 March 2007, 04:29 AM

You guys have posted some yummy photos of your YMs. SUPER!!!

Ragu · 5 March 2007, 01:35 PM

advocatia,
those are some "awesome" pics !!!

Today I took my usual Bike ride with a few buds (not going to Daytona) and they immediately saw how brilliant the YM shined.

Seems like the Platinum goes very good with chrome!

What a stunning looking bike, Ragu. Absolute beauty!!

Ragu · 5 March 2007, 01:35 PM

JJ,
I took my lead from you my friend!

Ragu · 5 March 2007, 11:02 PM

WERNERTURNER,
sorry not an Electra Glide but a '07 Street Glide. New model comes with 96 cu. inches and a 6 speed tranny. Runs very good and strong.

JJ,
I have an 02 FatBoy for sale if your interested and I'll give you a good deal too.

I love bikes, but not at my age anymore, Ragu. Besides, in Auckland it rains most of the time....not really a bike-riding place.

Ragu · 6 March 2007, 11:36 PM

An observation,
Because of the highly polished solid center bracelet links, the Platinum bezel and polished lugs edges and numbers the YM sparkles like no other Rolex I have in the sunlight.

The YM is hard not to notice when in the sunlight!
