You forgot the SD, tosser!!
You must remember though, Johnny, that when I sold the TT Blue Sub (yes, I still miss that baby), it was only for a better looking watch - the TT Blue YM with all that extra gold on that stunning bezel. The older SS Subs? Well, all of them were on non-SEL bracelets. This one is different and I love it. Now, back to Rolex....what we were talking about?

Sorry, I'm still not seeing the difference. And not a good rationalization. When you sold Sub #1, there was no SEL. I'm gonna guess that when Sub #2 sold, SEL still wasn't available. Am I wrong? And what about the SD? At the time you were saying it was the ultimate. JJ, really... giving advice to someone about keeping a watch is like Bill Clinton giving a lecture on martial fidelity. |

JJ, what makes you think a YM is 'more' than a PAM190? The Pam has a ground-breaking movement specially made for Panerai by JLC and has a power reserve of EIGHT DAYS! The displayback actually shows the power reserve indicator, which is a nice WIS touch and it doesn't clutter the pure, simple dial. The movement is a work of art. A 3135 is a tugboat, but one fugly looking movement. Plus, with a 190, you have strap options, which Daren obviously likes. I don't see how you can consider a PAM190 'less' off a watch than a dime a dozen rolesium Yachtmaster??? The 190 is made in seriously small quantities and is in high demand now, and will continue to be in high demand... much more so than any YM ever will. |

Is the 16613 not as good as the TTYM different than the 190 better than the YM.

Hey guys,
Read the thread title...the guy asked for "serious advice"....so I gave mine....if you fellas don't like it....too bad. I pesonally would never give up a ROLEX for any other watch except another ROLEX....but then that's me. And that's exactly what I did from the TT Sub to the TT YM....the latter is definitely a better looking watch although it has the same movement. I'm a straight up honest person....I said what is in my heart and what I think is right...if people don't like it, then next time I think it's better I keep my trap shut!!

That being said, that is totally nuts talk to say that Rolex is the be all and end all in horology. Crazy and insane also come to mind. Rolex is a damn fine watch, no doubt about it, but there are many and I mean MANY brands that are par or way above Rolex. They are by no means at all at the top of the watch foodchain. For you they might be, but to think that everyone else will snob, and that is what this is, everyother brand out there for the sake of one is nuts. Blind devotion is not something that I would ever pledge to a watch company. Unless the endorsement deal was good enough.
