Hi guys,

Yes, that's right........want my beloved BLUE beauty all over again and there's only ONE way I can get it - one of my 4 watches has to go.......and it can only be the "high maintenance" SS/Pt. YM.

What say you guys? A little help and good advice would be welcome!!

Thanks - JJ

Please think and vote - cheers!!

wantonebad · 15 January 2010, 06:26 AM

Wow!! I thought you were kidding!!

would this be bluesy number three? do you want ceramic or old style? OY!! I suppose its better to flip watches then wives

spuds · 15 January 2010, 06:26 AM

Please excuse my ignorance JJ but why's the YM "High Maintenance"?

Tony-GB · 15 January 2010, 06:27 AM

JJ my friend- ARE YOU MAD??!!

Please keep the yacht-Master. Do you remember the last bluesy you had? You said it brought you nothing but bad luck. Don't start 2010 like that. The Yacht-Master is sooooo comfy!

Wait til Jocke gets hold of this thread!

B Square · 15 January 2010, 06:28 AM

I vote flip. JJ + Blue Sub = perfection

Trust me, buddy.......you don't want to scratch that Pt. bezel!! Will cost a bomb to fix!!

Renoir · 15 January 2010, 06:29 AM

I vote for bluesy. You previously had one and are longing for it...the second time's a charm!

Good luck with your decision!

Joey_V · 15 January 2010, 06:29 AM

I thought the bluesy was bad luck, you swore against it. Why risk karma??

$1000 to replace, right?

Yoreese · 15 January 2010, 06:30 AM

I LOVE th Plat YM and it may be my next watch, but very worried about scratches.

datejust1 · 15 January 2010, 06:30 AM

Oh Buddy, This is so hard for me as it's hard for you. I was thinking... you already have a Normal SS Sub. I know the bluesy is a GREAT and AMAZING WATCH. Why don't you sell the SS Sub?

EDIT: I just saw the Replacement of the Plat Bezel... I think it's better to let it go... But THE DECISION IS YOURS! We will support that decision.

I know, I know...........but maybe that was all BS!! Who knows? Haven't had very good luck with my health (my eyes and some dental bills) since I sold my other Blue Sub.......so not sure what the hell's happening.

That's what I remember about JJ's last Bluesy. Surely you wouldn't want that whole episode again?

aha!!

I guess I'd swop then simply because I wouldn't want a watch that I was almost too scared to enjoy wearing.

Yes but if you're getting the updated SuperCase/Max-Dial 116613 version you don't want to replace the ceramic bezel either

sakuraba · 15 January 2010, 06:32 AM

I voted to hang on to the Platty. With the TT GMT, another TT would be redundant IMO.

Good point, but I was thinking more along the lines of the older 16613.

I'm sure I've heard banter that the current ceramic's aren't that far away??

if that IS the case I'd keep the YM!

JJ, my friend, only you can decide.

How's that for help.

Coming from you, Dan whom I love and respect so much, those words are like a million bucks to me!!

Gerardus · 15 January 2010, 06:38 AM

ey JJ,
Please do not leave our Yacht-club.
How many scratches you have on your bezel now at this moment?
Probably none, after having it a while.
So do not go out from a worse-case scenario

JBat · 15 January 2010, 06:39 AM

I voted it's up to you, JJ. But I also know how much you love Bluesy, so I can see why you want to do it. If I was going to place a wager, I'd bet you'll have another Blue Sub before too much longer.

And thanks for the tip on the "high maintenance" Platty. I did not know that.

wantonebad · 15 January 2010, 06:39 AM

If you lived in the U.S. I'd make you a great deal on my "Z" serial bluesy

Don't panic, my friend........I need time to think this one out - no irrational moves!!

I disagree. The TT Blue Sub and TT GMT look a lot different. Other than the two tone part, there's not much about them that's the same. Outside of being Rolex's, of course.
