I would not but this has to be your call. If you are not enjoying the BNLR as much as the YM, then go for it.

I would keep the BLNR. Nothing wrong with the YM but it does not work form me as much as the BLNR. I owned a YG YM and it was a cool watch for the 3 months I had it. In the end it was gone, I scratched the itch and have never seriously thought about owning a YM in any metal again.

I'd also keep the blnr.

Is the YM a watch you've been thinking about buying?

Keep the BLNR, GMTs are the best Rolex value, they have two useful complications. The Yachtmaster is basically a blue face silver bezel Sub.

I would not make that trade.

Both are beautiful

I think it depends on whether you need the function of the GMT. If you never will use it I would get the Yacht. It should not be a financial decision. Whatever you it won't be wrong.

One of the easiest decisions I ever read on here for me. I'd trade as fast as humanly possible.

Although YM blue looks nice, the BLNR can beat it in every aspect, IMHO.

Agree with this.

I prefer the YM to the blnr.

No way.
The resale value on the YMI, regardless of dial color, is abysmal and has been for years.
The BLNR is holding it's value nicely.

I have owned both. I would not do that trade.

Blue dial is hard to resist, if you can then stick with BLNR

I prefer the BLNR for me, but a good friend has the blue YM and it really is a beautiful piece
