JJ without platty is like kojak without the lollypop, Columbo without his raincoat, James Bond without the girl, Dr Who without the tardis, Dolly Parton without her

Keep it

Let's put it this way: considering the times our friend JJ has flipped (my son changes socks less frequently than JJ changes watches) he could have actually worn every single watch in the Rolex family by now.

I am a newbie to this forum and have not purchased my first Rolex yet so you may want to consider that along with what my opinion is. I simply think that the Submariner in virtually all it's incarnations looks better than the YM. Blue, Black, Green (LV), there is just something magical about them. In fact because of folks like you, thank you (and others), I have reached out to David ([email protected]) to inquire about the 14060M and the Submariner Date. I just have to pick one now. Good luck on your dilemma, it is a wonderful problem to have. There is no downside.

I love the blue......but I would think about it for a while and let your intuition play a role in the decision... The questune is whether or not you trust your intuition here?

On the spiritual side.. look for signs....like lights going on and out without reason...lol....

yes its late and im in bad need of sleep..obvious???

I'm not a big flipper, so I say save you pennies and get another one. You'll regret getting rid of the YM.
