Which Rolex next - Sub or YM?

I have a green sub (Hulk) and the SS blue dial yachtmaster. I want to get either the rosegold YM (116655) or the two tone blue dial submariner (116613). I wondered of those on the forum what you would get next? I thought about the all gold sub (116618) but think this might be much for daily wear. What are your thoughts? Thx :)

If you already have a Sub and YM, perhaps consider a different model?

You already have a blue dial, green dial. You need black and the black/ Rose gold YM is a real killer--classy, stylish, and a real looker without being too flashy.

Keep one SS and then you can have the 618 for the really fun times.

Hard choice. I like both of those watches equally

Bluesy is my favorite, but in your lineup the RG YM may add some diversity. Always good to have one black dialed watch in the rotation.

116618. Go big or go home. The Smurf was my daily wearer for over a year until I got the Platona. It was may daily for almost a year. Those two get the most wrist time by far.

I have the bluesy and love it. I had a hulk too, if that counts. :)

I think if RG is a good color for you, it makes for a beautiful and unique watch. I love the RG YM but for me personally, the brown face doesn't work.

Don't buy what I want, buy what you want!

I would either consider a different model since you have both already but I get liking multiples of the same model in different configurations. I personally would go with the 116655 but you can't go wrong with either, they're both stunners.

I would either do this or...


Flip the SS YM for the 116655 and add the bluesy.

The face is black not brown.

Easy decision for me as well. But you need to go look at these and decide. I put the 116655 on and new in 3 seconds it was the one.

Definitely try them on, I was convinced I wanted the bluesy and didn't want a yachtmaster and after trying them on at the AD, I switched my mind on both!

Darth Vader is calling

I think the 116655 is one of the most intriguing divers out there (besides the classics of course). It's stylish, unexpected and unique, all in a very strange way convincing. If the SD4k wouldn't call my name and it's fun first, that would be my choice. Great collection by the way...

Rose gold YM for sure! But I may be one of the few that don't like that blue on the bluesy and with gold less. Plus you already have a great blue dial in the YM (not bias even though I own one).
