Just sold a boat....

that I've been trying to sell for 8 months. Now I have some cash to play with. What do I do? Upgrade my 3 Subs to the ceremic versions? Maybe add another watch? Really wish there was a ceremic GMT Coke because my decision would be made. Maybe the new yacht master with blue dial?

Congrats on the sale!

I say add and keep at least one older Sub. Add a new Blue YM and a Ceramic Sub if you have the cash.

Curious....Do you still have another boat you can be Capt of?

Well there you go! That seals it for me...if you like the Blue YM (I love it) then it's a must. Just add that. I think if you dump all the old Subs, you will eventually regret it. Keep the favorite one of those.

How big of a boat are we talking about AP/PP or SS Rolex size?

Well most of the funds are going to help with the new boat I just got. I'm giving myself around 10k to play with.

Make sure you see the new blue dial YM before buying. I was head over heels for it after seeing the Rolex pics but IMHO it just wasn't as special in the flesh.

That's what I was afraid of. Right now there is no watch that I just have to have, so that's what I was just considering upgrading to the Sub C's

If you like Subs get an SDDS, or a Sub-C LV.

I would get a AP 15300 but that is me.

You got a boat, you'll need a YM or YM2. Subs are for those with submarines or go into the water a lot..

I do think the new YM with a blue dial will be so nice.
