Hey guys, I have the opportunity to trade my U serial sub two tone blue dial for a plat/ss yachtmaster. Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy the yachtmaster outright and keep the sub. What would you guys do? I really like both watches and for the life of me cannot decide. Pls help so I can make this decision easier. Thx in advance...

The YM is very monochromatic but much more comfortable than the Sub. Which is more important to you, looks or comfort?

sea-dweller · 2 December 2013, 02:32 AM

One of them will "sing" out to you, more than the other...

theken · 2 December 2013, 02:38 AM

I would make the trade, especially if it is a more recent production Yachtmaster based upon the "letter" series.
I consider the recently discontinued 11622 Yachtmaster one of the most versatile sport models.

My interest in the YM lasted a few months, then dwindled...not sure why. In the end, I ended up with the TT blue Sub and have never regretted it. Keep the Sub IMO.

Go with the one that really makes you happy.

AK797 · 2 December 2013, 03:11 AM

Personally I would only sell for the YM blue dial, and I do think I might trade my subc for it one day.

solesman · 2 December 2013, 03:48 AM

I would keep the sub. I find that particular yacht master a little flat looking. Just my opinion of course.

jjnd08 · 2 December 2013, 07:31 AM

No way would I flip the blue for the yachtmaster!

mailman · 2 December 2013, 07:34 AM

Do it!

iazrollie · 2 December 2013, 07:35 AM

I like the sub better, and the two tone is highly versatile. But, you can't go wrong with either.

I would keep the Sub,but it's your wrist

Miamipawnsab · 2 December 2013, 11:38 AM

Do it I had both and sold the ym once then went back to the ym it's sporty and elegant . The tt subs was hard for me to put on when I went out as it didn't match with what I was going for . At the end it's always nice to get something new to look at you can always ind some one else to trade you again.

SixPak · 2 December 2013, 11:46 AM

I would only trade for the cobalt blue YM but not the platinum.

DreambreaX · 2 December 2013, 12:50 PM

I wouldnt trade two tone for solid ss

RolexDivers · 2 December 2013, 10:05 PM

Which one is heavier? Go for the heavier one

A Rolex for a Rolex is a good trade. But for me it takes a lot to trade a SUB --- Sub is an icon, unlike most of Rolex's offerings.

watchwatcher · 2 December 2013, 10:26 PM

No, I don't think I would.

rtalwar · 3 December 2013, 01:23 PM

Ths guys for the responses. I think at this point i will keep the sub. Thx again everyone
