Yacht-Master old vs new buy advice

[Micha1983]

I am looking to buy a gold Rolex Yachtmaster 40mm with white dial.

Since my budget does not allow me to buy a new or almost new watch, I need to look at the "older" ones.

Offcourse there is a big price difference in watches with scratches and 99% ones. When I buy my watch, I will send it to Rolex for service (in the EU). This is where a few questions rise:

- When I buy a YM with tritium dial and hands, will they be switched when serviced? Is this free of (extra) charge?

- Will the watch gets good polishing to make it look like new (when possible offcourse)? And what about the bezel?

The fact that tritium on a white dial looks very yellow (I dont like that) out weighs the fact that my YM looses any collectors value when the tritium gets switched. But when I am charged with a new dial and hands, it is cheaper to just buy the newer style in the beginning.

Thank you very much for your input!
