Went for the Gold

Ok, so just got the YG sub in mail from Davidsw. Boy its heavy and shiny compared to the SS and TT sub. I had TT bluesy (beautiful time piece), felt the watch was too mature for me since I am only 30 yrs old or younger shall I say

Here are few initial pics

Well done and congrats!! As much as I love the 116618 there's something about the old 16618 case I like just a tad more....however, when I do get one, which will be soon I will get the 16618 with engraved rehaut, as that is a feature of the newer models I would prefer for some odd reason...just picked up an almost NOS 18238 Monday and a Speedy Pro Tuesday, and I must say that after wearing my 116718, the 18238 feels like a feather, but goodness is it a beauty.

Gold is king. I love it. Not sure the TT Bluesy you had is any more of a "mature" look than 18k but I personally love both at any age.

Agree YG is just so much cooler and "hip" compared to TT, that how I felt. Love all the subs.
