I like the blue on the DJ better, but I don't know why, I don't really like the fluted bezel on the blue DJ. Plus with the red accents on the YM makes that a more appealing watch to me.

YM for me. But the blue stick DJii is a great looking watch.

Voted YM, but would definitely have voted DJ if the bezel was smooth.

Since I already have a BLNR I'd go DJII, but if I didn't the YM is a pretty killer package.

Both blues are really nice. I like the deep blue dials opposed to the smurf style. The smurf is cool in its own right but for all around purposes darker is better IMO.

Is the SubC 116613LB something you can do? because I have flipped alot of Rolexes since I started with Rolex 2 years ago. But nothing can be compared to the 116613LB with the sunburst blue dial:

True tha bro, but 2 problems :)

1. Too much gold for my kind of work.
2. Mooooooney :)

But not to hijack the thread, if its possible I would take the SubC blue over the Yachtmaster blue :)

Probably not helping much to the thread but I'm not a massive fan of these two dials. Don't get me wrong they're nice enough but the blue's don't do it for me. I prefer the type of blue found on the Sub's.

If I had to choose I'd probably go with the YM.

I do like that watch but since I have a SubC (114060), I am looking to do something a bit different. That IS a great watch though...

There is no wrong answer. Dress vs. sporty.
