Dream, believe and it will happen. For me it's a moonphase Patek Philippe, but for rolex, I want a yellow gold yachtmaster II

Yep, going to take a while to save up and to find the right one, hopefully one with a faded bezel, oh, and from 1974...this is going to break me!

If I had a hundred grand or two to buy just one watch this or the 5270P, when it comes, would probably be my choice. I'd like to own one but I don't think I would sell the rest of my collection to have one.
