I had one just like the pic (not my pic) I liked it but wouldn't consider another without some major bracelet & bezel upgrades... a moot point now

Maybe that s the reason, they don't sell that much as they want.

Tbh it will not be missed by me. I like all the full YG lineup except the full YG for the YM. It just looks out of place somehow but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Totally agree with you. I was just telling Oscar about that last night actually. If they updated that bezel, and the clasp, I would own that watch. The dial on all the Yachty's are just beautiful.

What type of bezel would you recommend for the Yacht? Ceramic? I assume because it is too easy to scratch?

+1 Agree. They are popular in Louisiana (all gold). Not my favorite model.

They are cheap now too compared to other YG models... One on eBay (UK) for £8500 that didn't get a bid. Re-listed this week and still no bids...

Not my first choice

Rolex spoiled us with the ceramic bezels and (finally) bulletproof solid link
bracelets and clasps.
I sold my 16713 and picked up a 116713....Yeahhhhhhhhhhh
