Newbie here, YM question

Hey All, Newbie here. I was hoping to pick your brain. I am considering buying one of two used YM 16628. If both were in the same condition and same price, the only difference being one is a "P" series and the other is a "W" series which would you pick? Is newer better? What should I consider? I see the box is different, the older being a very nice wood box and the other being what looks to be in something other than wood.

Thanks in advance for your advise.

1. Pick the one in better condition
2. If it's all the same and the only difference is the serial number, I would go with the serial number that relates to me more.
3. Otherwise, go for the P series

Agreed.

Pay attention to the condition of the bracelet. Pick the one with less stretch (gap between links), ideally there should hardly be any gap at all.

I agree with the above. They are the same watch, get the one that's in better condition. Bracelet stretch is on the list to compare...
