But like most things, for better or worse, its the overall manner and presentation of the wearer that often determines how something specific is perceived.
In short it is a magnificent beast that gets wrist time on special occasions, but something I'm proud to own and of my watches least likely to be sold(touch wood!!). Having said that I also like the TT Blue version and is always an option if you like a dressy, but versatile sports watch.

I love that watch!

I say go for it, remember "situational awareness" and ENJOY the watch you DESIRE. That 18K Gold Sub and the GMT IIC pops with plenty of "WOW" factor.

As far as punctuation and proper English; didn't we already have this discussion?

It's a forum where we discuss our passion for watches, period!

I may be a college professor, but I'm not going to "correct or admonish" anyone's poorly written prose, and I don't think anyone else should EITHER! I mean geeze, no one writes p e r f e c t l y!

If you have to ask then you are obviously not a policeman. Just that the term scroat is used by those in the British police. And the 'job' is what they call the force.

plod !! hell no.....just an old fashioned shopkeeper..but some of the people that browse the racks can only be described as scroaty

as for a previous question, the 18k Sub is a YG 83 model which would hopefully be available for £6750/7000

The problem with all gold watches, including Rolex is, they look a bit too car salesman for my taste. The TT on the other hand looks just right.The white gold and the platinum could be mistaken for the SS models(obviously if you put them side by side there would be a difference). I didn't Cambridge was that rough. I have had, many years ago, a SS Sub date stolen out of my house, and i live near Liverpool. But get the watch you want anyway.

Here is a pic from 2005 when I was working with the "force" (I am on left

)

To the OP. Personally I would probably get a TT rather than a YG, but it varies a lot from person to person if YG looks good on you or not. With my pale scandinavian skin color, there is no way that I will ever be able to wear YG. Try them both om and go with the one that looks best.

Nice picture, Thomas.......it looks like you work-out, right?!!

Andad · 20 January 2010, 04:30 PM

Both the YG and the TT models are spectacular.

Only the $$$'s get in the way.

How are you Jim? I hope you and your family are well.

Nice to see you 'stepping in' Jim.

I would have in the past but have been advised to 'turn the page'.

Apparently I am not as subtle as others might be.

Give my regards to Bo.

Singslinger · 20 January 2010, 06:20 PM

I don't think YG is vulgar in any way, but I agree that it may not be for everyone. Personally, I find the YG Blue Sub to be a very handsome watch, perhaps even the best-looking of all Rolex's YG lineup.

Hey Eddie. I think a YG sub would suit you my friend!

I'm good thanks, still suffering the trials of having a two year old redheaded boy

How is that wonderful family of yours?
