Incoming via Trade
It’s not a highly sought after piece but I absolutely love this. I worked out a deal with TS AU_911tt for this beauty and I couldn’t be happier! Earlier in 2018 I almost purchased one from my AD but they wouldn’t discount the tax so I passed on it. I’ve seen it in the window a few times since and it always jumps out at me. I’m so glad I passed on it as I was able to save quite a bit from the new price. For the record Chase is super easy to work with and he responds fast and keeps in constant contact.
I love everything about this piece. The bezel is unlike anything in my collection and the dial totally pops in the sunlight. I’ve had my eye on this for a while and am thrilled to own this! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’ve always thought this was a really cool watch! I’d take it in the collection over a few of the more sought after pieces. I have a soft spot for the underdog

I really like this one as well. I think the YM is a model that is way way underappreciated and this blue dial puts it over the top in terms of beauty in my eyes.
Good choice and nice to see something different instead of the usual subs and gmts. |

Thanks! I traded a 114060 plus cash on my end. Basically paid around $9650 for a 6 month old YM. |

I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on these. Great looking watch, especially with the blue dial. Congrats!!!

Love the red writing and red second hand, especially against the blue dial. Absolute stunner - far better blue dial than WG Daytona and many others. Congrats! Big thumbs up from me.

Looks great. I think YM is a very underappreciated piece.

It’s been on my radar. Especially because it’s overlooked I saw it in person a few times which really solidified my decision. |

Heard great things about Chase as well.. never done a deal with him, but he is rising to DSW and Takuya status

Congrats! Blue YM was my first Rolex. When it was announced at Basel that year, I knew it was for me. Cool blue dial juxtaposed against the platinum bezel, slim profile w curvey smooth case- love it. Enjoy!

Really like these ... love the dial colour combo
Probably the polished case & bracelet is the only thing that has stopped me getting one in the past. Yachting folk are a bit fancier than diving folk... I'd imagine ... like we all sail and dive |
