The two-tones are a bit flashy for me--but the blue is one of the least flashy and at least the gold in the bracelet will tone down with a bit of wear. The LV just doesn't do it, black face & green bezel--nope.

I love the look of the pics of the platinum Yachtmaster--I'd want to see it on my wrist before I bought one, but it seems a great half-way between sport and elegance.

I like them both but for a younger guy the Platinum YM or the Sub would be best for an every day wearer IMO.

Just for the purists , the 14060M on a nato is the one I prefer during the working week.
Very light and can be switched to the bracelet in a minute.

I'm 22 and the watch would be purchased with my own made money, no present in this case.

I love the looks of both, but maney people say that for my age, the 16613 is a bit too "drug dealer look".

What do you guys think??

Thanks!

If the choice were mine, I'd go with the TT Blue. That shade of blue is gorgeous and has not been replicated with the new ceramic TT Blue. Also, it combines beautifully with the yellow gold.

Good luck deciding!
Have to agree be your own man you buy and wear what you want too.I just cannot for the life of me see that by wearing a TT watch is anything relating to drugs or dealing in drugs.Its a bit like the TT Daytona IMHO more dial options than the S.Steel and IMHO a better looking watch.But fashion dictates S.steel perhaps its because the S.Steel was often quite hard to find
at retail prices.

what?? considering a 16613 with no mention or thought for the most attractive one?



the 16613 is a truely stunning (and rare) watch. it's not as photogenic as the bluesy- but go see one in the flesh, in proper sunlight.. you wont look back!

cheers

Eddie, the first two pics make me think again which of the two!

It's like choosing a red Ferrari F430 with either black or beige leather. You know you can't go wrong with one of them. But there is one that is slightly better, until you see both options again!

I'll be seeing a blue 16613 the following days!

Thanks
