YG GMTIIc will be there in 6 months. i wouldn't give up a watch, and surely not a watch like the 15400, to avoid waiting such a short amount of time.

use the time to make sure you really want the YG.

Having owned this



and that



plus various other models of each brand...

It all depends how and when you are going to wear the watch. AP is definitely more luxurious, rare, exclusive, higher finish etc, etc, but I'm just a simple guy who values reliability, value retention, ease of ownership, durability etc, so if I had to do it all again, I'd go with the 116718 and not look back. Sell the AP 15400 (I much prefer the 15300) and get the 18K GMT now. I seriously doubt you'll regret it!
