It's finally time! I have budget of $20,000 (planning on buying a used watch).

I'm thinking of getting the rose gold Yacht-Master II since it has to be sports watch.

I'd like to hear your recommendations since I'm still not set on what i'd like to get... and it doesn't have to be a rolex. Let me know your thoughts!

Danny83 · 11 March 2015, 01:01 AM

I think the ym2 would be a great choice.

Wllnv19 · 11 March 2015, 01:05 AM

I say save a little more and get a WG Sub!

at that price point the world is your "oyster"!

the TT YMII is an awesome choice, so is everything else!

SIDMAN · 11 March 2015, 02:07 AM

How about a used GMT Master II in yellow gold. 116718 g

locutus49 · 11 March 2015, 02:09 AM

For that much money I would buy either a gold Sub or Daytona (white or colored gold). Much better resale value than YM should you need to resell.

SIDMAN · 11 March 2015, 02:10 AM

This one...used

Garmool · 11 March 2015, 02:17 AM

Found the yacht master for $15,560 used. Is this a good price?

It is...but at $20k, I think you would be better served stretching a bit more and going with a full gold model, such as the GMT. (And I'm a huge YMII fan) Just my opinion, of course.

jjnd08 · 11 March 2015, 02:56 AM

It doesn't really sound like you have a grail if you are asking for suggestions. A grail should be something you have been pining for a long time and have no doubt you want it over anything else.

Sounds more like you have $20k you want to spend on a watch, IMO.

djemmtee · 11 March 2015, 03:46 AM

id suggest looking at the rose gold daytona...it looks sooooooooo damn good!

jack81 · 11 March 2015, 04:02 AM

If you want rose gold than get that ym II tt. Altough i agree the resale value of ym II may not be as good as other sports model.

sunnyd · 11 March 2015, 04:03 AM

Daytona 116509 Panda would be my choice!

Jim P · 11 March 2015, 04:11 AM

White gold Sub! Used or save a few more bucks if you want new.

My vote as well

AK797 · 11 March 2015, 04:16 AM

I love the RG on that TT YM2 and frankly would love to see more of them round here and used for $15K is a good buy. Otherwise a used YG GMTc is enormous bang for your buck for $20K.

c41006 · 11 March 2015, 04:19 AM

YG blue sub!

Garmool · 11 March 2015, 04:56 AM

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm leaning more towards the YM II and might pull the trigger on it tomorrow. I already have a SS Daytona in my collection and don't think I wanna get another one. Especially because the rose gold Daytona is out of my budget. I will keep you all updated.

locutus49 · 11 March 2015, 05:06 AM

Sounds like you made up your mind. As you can tell, many of us don't agree, but it is your money and your grail, so go for it.

Hope you do, love to see some wrist shots.

REDiesel · 11 March 2015, 05:00 AM

I was just drooling over that TT RG YMII the other day. I do wish they made a TT RG Daytona. It's the only TT RG sport watch so there isn't much like it.

Evad3 · 11 March 2015, 05:02 AM

How much are the RG DDII w/ choc dials in over there? Used are they <$20k? If so that would be my vote

Not sure really for the used ones. I had a Datejust II and sold it after 3 months. I realized I'm more into sport watches so I know the DD II won't do it for me.

You're getting into pretty hedy territory with 20 k

As mentioned above if that's your Grail, go for it. If it were me, I'd save a touch more for a PP 5711 or WG Sub

+1 but I am a bit biased

travisb · 11 March 2015, 07:43 PM

Sounds like you're pretty much set on the YM2. Looking forward to the incoming!

dsn112 · 11 March 2015, 05:22 AM

If I could spend 20k, I'd get a BLNR and a DJ2 and have two more awesome watches!

Had both of them and sold them. Right now my collection consists of a SS black dial Daytona and a Bluesy TT submariner ceramic model.
