LVC.
Then I'd flip the Sub for a BLNR.

I love the ym I think it is a terribly underrated watch. But i would choose the green sub over blue ym. The pt dial i think makes the ss/pr ym special, because you can get a blue dial in something else like a breitling or omega but I don't know of many other watches with a solid platinum dial.

I might go ym ii over both though.

I love the Hulk (own and it's a keeper) but...

Vote for the blue dialed Yachtmaster. Go for that red seconds hand!!!

Eirther is a great choice. Perhaps you could chalk it up to whether or not you prefer PCL's or brushed links. I know a lot of people are either on one side or the other. Maybe since you already have a SUB, the YM is the way to go so you have both bracelet styles.

As usual, I would have to agree with my friend here.

Wow, that is a really difficult decision. I have an LVc and my next (and final) reference is likely to be a YM but can't decide between blue and platinum dial.

Good luck making your mind up, because that's not a decision I would like to make.

Oh go on then, LVc

Personally, I am not a fan of the green dial/insert "hulk" - it just has way too much green for my tastes. I do like the original anniversary Subs with just the green bezel insert which seems to work quite well and is not too overpowering with green.

I am also a fan of the Yachtmaster with the blue dial, and since you asked, that would be my first choice.


Good luck in your decision.
