Latest addition to the stable!!

Hello TRF members.....
An exciting day for me yesterday as I made another purchase to add to the collection!! Went to the AD to try on and possibly purchase the DSSD...Walk out with the YachtMaster TT!! Go Figure!!
Tried on the DSSD and just wasnt sure about it..The wife was with me and said"If your not sure right away then its not for you",she was right!! My initial gut feeling is what I always go by!! She is so smart!!
Anyway sitting all alone was this "preowned" Yacht-Master...I was just drawn to it from the start!! After trying on a couple of others I still went back to this one...I Looked at alot!! Including the all new DD and DJ with all dial options available...Also the Ice Blue Plat!! Beautiful in person I must say,and heavy(But way out of my reach). The 41mm case really makes these so much better than before in my opinion...Anyway an hour later I said to salesman "Sold" to Yachty...So thats my long story short and here it is!!
Rob.

Thanx for the replies guys!!
I do love it as well and for the price,it was a steal!
I went in to get either the Deep Sea or an LV and ended up with the Yacht Master...Totally different from what I was in the market for....Always loved the Yachty though but never thought I would find it in an AD at the price out the door that I got..It is a D series from 06',purchased and traded at the same store by a collector who never even put it on the same year he purchased it!! Still had all stickers and links on....
The LV will have to wait now(or I do)!! As per the wifes request!!
