You know I am an idiot when......

I have bought many watches multiple times, so may as well buy one of the only ones that I ever missed after it was gone.

It's baaaaaaaack.


Odd thing is, almost a year ago I had the 88 and YM in the collection, and I do again.

I remember you toiled over letting that one go last year.
Now, any takers on when he may decide to move this one?

Congratulations Daren
Although I have never owned a Yachtie, I do appreciate the watch, especially the red second hand and maxi dial. I have been tempted to buy one, but somehow it just didn't smile on my wrist, but I really like the watch a lot when I see others wearing it.

Good question, Aaron. Hey, Daren, I remember you had on the superb Daytona clasp on the previous one. Still have the clasp or did it go off with that YM?

I can see why you did it

The YM Pt is one of only two watches that I ever regretted flipping.

There is an old saying. If you love something, you should let it go.

If it comes back, it is yours forever.

If it does not come back, hunt it down and kill it.
