GMT 11 Pepsi vs SS Plat Yacht Master

Does someone have access to post pics of both next to one another ? and What would the MSRP be of a new yacht master ? And does the yacht master come in two sizes in the ss/plat version ?
thanks

I think GMT II Pepsi look totally diferrent than YM Platty. One look classic beauty, one look so blingy and fancy.

YM in platinum comes in two sizes - 36mm and 40mm and is surely more expensive than Pepsi.And,of course,more dressy than GMT.

YM platy two sizes

Thanks for the info. Can someone post pics of the two YM side by side ? And what is the list on them ? If its not too outrageous I may go for theYM.
Charlie Sheen I think wears one in Two and a half Men series. So it's gotta be cool.

JJ - Wow!! - Amazing!!

You've certainly done your research here.

Surely, Bo can't have made a mistake, can he?

I think we'll have to alert the media on this one!!

Mine came with the watch....but I'm 100% sure the mid-size YM is 35 mm - I've seen this in the Master Rolex Catalogue which only the AD has.

Jocke or Mike can confirm this for sure!!

You're probably right, JJ. It might be a misprint in the catalogue.

JJ, I'm afraid that you're not going to like this, but . . .

I've just checked my catalogue, dated March 2008 and the 168622 definitely is 34mm.

Never mind, JJ.

Well done, Bo.

JJ,

Can I send it to you tomorrow (Sat in the UK). It's dark here (11.52pm Fri) and I haven't got my camera out.

It's the same price list that Bo has posted, but just a later version.

As Bo has said, it may be a mis-print, but unlikely with a later version.

Who knows, but, hey, what's in a mm?

If it's a price list then I'm not surprised. If you run very carefully through that list, you will find a few more printing errors, trust me.

35 mm should be the CORRECT size!! It's NOT a question about one lousy mm - it's a question of PERFECTION and getting it RIGHT!! Very important to me!!!

JJ, you are so passionate about this point, that I'm going to run with you on this one - that it's 35mm.

As you say, it's just the price list and, in fairness, I've noticed errors before.

At the end of the day, the definitive answer will be with papers that come with the watch -so I guess you've nailed it there, fair and square.

Well done for sticking to your guns, JJ - commendable.
