Thinking about a new acquisition

Ok everyone- so...I am thinking about flipping one of my watches in the mix - and wanted to get some opinions on what everyone thinks before I do so.

Thinking about replacing my blue YM with a DSSD as my daily wearer.

I've been mesmerized by the DSSD for a while and it was between that and the YM when I bought it 3 months ago - and I just think I will like the DSSD better...


Thoughts?

Don't do it...add don't flip. The YM is such a special and unique piece.

But I'm not a big DSSD fan--it's the thickness that puts me off, so it's up to you.

I'd pick the deep sea over the ym

But I do think they're are better daily wearers than both of these (sub,exp, ex2, sd)

Good luck

Do you have the Yachtmaster or Yachtmaster II? Thats the big question... because there is a considerable size difference there...
If you have a Yachtmaster I it would be more suited for daily use and more comfy on the wrist... Now if u have the YM II that in itself is a pretty big watch also... I use my DeepSea as a daily as much as I can but at times I tend to go to the smaller models because it is a VERY top heavy watch...

Thoughts are I bought them both, still have the YM (my sons)

I think as an all round watch the YM is way better. You also thought that three months ago so

I agree with Larry and Tom, but you do sound tempted, if you can save and add that would be ideal.

Thought about just going that route...I really don't flip - but sometimes I get the urge...

If you can handle extra thickness of the case and weight of the DSSD go for it. YM nonetheless should wear more comfortable for daily use

I've tried the DSSD on several times, and I think for me it would be a watch I'd wear occasionally but not as a daily wearer.

I'm in the 'save and add' camp on this one.
