226658 YG Yacht-master 42 - Incoming

[ebis]

I went to the AD over the weekend to confirm some RSC work and inquired about a WG Yacht-master 42. They did not have any in stock, but they did have a new YG Yacht-master 42 that just came in and was available for purchase. Maybe not a popular model or dumb luck, but I was extremely surprised as I usually expect no inventory per the norm.






My AD didn't have any extra OF straps to size and I learned quickly that I had to wear the OF tighter than I normally would. With a bit a sweat, the smooth rubber was sliding around my wrist. So I made a quick trip to my local RSC to pick up a smaller 6 o'clock strap for about ~$300.





Although I wanted WG at first, the YG and black rubber go really well together. The YG gives it a softer and more refined look.



My SA informed me of a price increase 9/1 so I scheduled an appointment for purchase for 8/31 to mark a special occasion and to beat the price hike.
