I would keep the Submariner C, because as a one-and-only it is far more versatile and less prone to scratches than the Yachmaster.

That's a hard choice, but you already know which one you're willing to sell.

I have a feeling you'll regret it either way.

The sub is a great every day watch and I am tempted to keep this one, but it is becoming more popular than a BMW every second person has one

On the other hand the y/master is so comfortable to wear and is not as common a watch.

If the y/m had the sub c clasp it would be an easy choice.

If you like "unique", keep the YM! It's a great piece and less common than the Sub.

If it's going to be the only watch I would go for the sub c as it would go with almost anything. However this is a very logical answer from somebody who has no emotional tie to the watches...... maybe sit on it (the question, not the watch!) for a couple weeks and see how you feel about each watch? The answer might be clearer then.

They have been sitting for over a month now,just cannot decide between them,if it was the old sub it would be easy but there is something about the new sub that I love.

The y/m is just so comfortable to wear and so classy to look at, yet I love the sporty sub with the clean cut lines and new clasp.

Looks like everyone loves the sub-c,

Is there any chance rolex will upgrade the y/m next year.

Between those two, the Sub-C.
Personally I would sell them both and buy a 16610.

I prefer the contrast of the black dial. Ceramic bezel and new clasp are great as well. The YM is beautiful but Sub is a keeper IMO
