So I bought a....

Yachmaster!

I was agonizing between a Yachtmaster (16622), or a Two Tone Sub (16613, 16803) for awhile. But something about the YM that drew me to pull the trigger.

I am to meet the owner Tuesday! I am stoked.











Had to printscreen the ebay auction...will take pics on Tuesday.

I had never been a big fan of that watch until I tried one on in person at the AD. Now I've added it to my list.

Nice buy.

Thanks all! I have already bought a red NATO strap for it. I am also thinking about getting a red date wheel for it. I saw someone do that here...

It seems to me that there is something about a Rolex, that when the right one comes to you...you instantly know it.

Congrats and enjoy a great watch!

That's a beauty right there. I really like this style YM over the II - very clean look.

GREAT choice and congrats! I bought my Yachty in December and am actually more obsessed with it now than the day I bought it! It just continues to amaze me and with the weather getting nicer, it looks incredible when the sun hits it so I'm really looking forward to my first summer with it.

I'm also a big fan of the YM on a NATO. I wear mine mostly on Gray or Black - but have also considered trying a Red strap so please do post pictures when you put it together!

Thanks again!

I am considering a Ladies YM as a "baby gift" to my wife when our 2nd child is born on June...she has a Tag that looks like a YM that she absolutely loves.
