How old is the pictured YM? It looks pristine! The people who call it a scratch magnet need to see these. Unless you photoshopped them out

OMG! Who in his right mind would pick a black Sub over this? Ideally one would have both, but you've got to start with this beauty.

Wait for the 124060. It's freaking fantastic.

Definitely no Photoshop! The watch is over 2 years old and these pictures span those two years but I wear in rotation. I don't think it's a scratch magnet particularly. I have see worse Explorer IIs and GMTs with dirty triangles etc. The watch wears tougher than its reputation.

I plan to just collect Submariners. So I’m a little bias.

Nice. I just got mine this year and I worry about the bezel. My PT wedding band is a mess of patina (scratches!)

I’ve been waiting for 13 months for a sub as well. In that time I bought a bb58 and a 31dj for the wife. They just offered me a YM as well and I turned it down.
