YM 116621 Chocalte Rose Gold vs 116613lb Sub Blusey

well ,
my Partenr need your help -

well, at first i felt love with the blusey, i allready put my name at waiting list for the LB .
But.. here the "compliacted" issuies in my country the the blusey really rule. i think the scale is 50% Sub Blue and 50% rest (dj,daytona, other subs maybe LN , not any Hulk ... )

i really like it, wonerful piece ! but for me its little bit more femine and without any "statement" . just statement of "Nouveau riche"( in my country at least)

on the other hand, the everrose yachti is more unique, and i find this tone of gold more elegantic .

so my questions - maybe i have a horrible taste, and after i will buy the YM i will figure that "everybody" rights and there is a reason why for TT better to go with the blusey..
the blusey is really "a big party" watch. for pros and cons


what do you think about Verstally ?

it will be my only watch
and sorry for the spelling mistakes

Anything I say about the Bluesey would be totally biased.

If it’s going to be your only watch then I’d go Bluesy. I think it’s way more versatile than the YM you’re looking at. Only get that YM as a second piece down the road.

The LB is "common" for a reason. The 116613LB has stood the test of time all the way back to the early 80's. I really like both these watches by the way. The Chocolate YM in TT is a stunning piece, but the LB is much more versatile IMO. I wear a lot of blue and not much brown tones. Think about wearing a brown and gold watch with a blue or black outfit/suit.
Also had YM's in the past and the bezel drove me nuts. The combination of matte with the highly polished numbers was a scratch magnet.

I would be happy with either, I have owned the Bluesy dial and the chocolate dial, just pick the one you are more comfortable with and sounds like the YM.

If you can afford both get both. The YM is also very beautiful watch. I love that Choco/RG combo

The 116613 LB is perhaps my favorite Rolex TT model. It's the one I sold and regretted it very soon after doing so. I replaced it with the PM version and couldn't be happier.

You have to decide how much you really care about what people think. If you can’t stand the idea of someone you don’t even know (or like) disapproving of your watch, then you will probably have a hard time with either model. Funny that so many have an opinion about other people’s money or purchases.

Here is a test for you: imagine yourself at home trying on both watches. Which one would you enjoy wearing more?

Pick the one you want, it’s as simple as that. You will end up with the watch that sings to you every time you wear it.

Your asking for people’s opinion here so I would say go for the Yacht-Master TT RG but with the Black Dial instead of chocolate Dial.
