Arrival of my Grail
I have been wanting a YG President since trying one on during a trip to Las Vegas over the winter. Finally happened. Not brand new, a 18238 from 1995. I'm very happy and think it may actually be a couple of months before starting to think about my next one. Well, maybe not that long. A Coke bezel GMT might look good along with the rest.

Thanks everyone. Eric, what looks like a gap is only a shadow. You almost gave me a heart attack! Also looks like my hand was shaking with excitement.
