What Watch to Buy? (2nd Round)

[ShiamRolexBoss]

Ok, so after asking this same question previously (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=538266), I narrowed my choices down to two:

1. Rolex Submariner 2-tone blue dial (I know I said it was too bulky before, but I tried it on again and decided that I would get used to it.)
2. Rolex Yacht-Master 40 two tone rose gold with chocolate dial

Which one is better and why? I read that the YM has the more advanced movement which is also antimagnetic, etc. but the Submariner is more iconic and durable, so I can't choose between the two.

Both beautiful watches......go with the one you feel deep down is for you

I'm a big fan of Rolex's sunburst blue and chocolate so tough one but I'd favour the Bluesy, esp as summer is here.

I'd be reluctant to spend that kind of money on something I'm hoping "I'd get used to."

Good point.

Whichever one you like best is better as they are both great. Take your time and buy the right one for you.

When it comes to Rolex sports models there is no correct answer to "which one is better?". They share so many similarities and differences that you just have to go with the one you like the most. In this case it seems to be a decision between yellow gold and rose gold.

Any time I see this I get flash backs of a sitting an exam. Should of added the amount of marks to be awarded as well.
Flip a coin see what it lands on, and if you don't like the choice choose the other side.

bluesy.

its the most iconic 2t tool watch ever made, and i even own one -- and i don't even like 2t sport/tool watches.

I assume you're going to Roman's. Very nice shop and I actually bought my first Rolex there.

TT watches seem to be the new trend these days, and make for a great summer watch. Between the 2, my hard earned money would go towards the YM.

2, the thing is less traveled and a knockout

I always struggle with deciding if your like me you will over analyse this until your fed up with the idea. (paralysis by analysis) take the plunge on one, once bought you'll never look back.

@nvrp813 actually, I go to Hamilton Jewelers in Princeton, but Roman's seems like a nice place.

I'm not a huge fan of the 116613LB so I'd go YM. Much more discrete.

I nearly bought one, but ended up going for the black TT sub. Still think the YM is a beautiful watch.
