I honestly did know how much I would love the yachtmaster until I put it on my wrist. I thought it was too "bland" with everything being same color... but the polished center links mixed with the sandblasted platinum bezel mixed with the sparkly platinum dial mixed with the red accent second hand just make it perfect. Cool story behind this one too as it was going to be the newest version of the submariner but they ended up making it its own model.

i dunno, the red accent at the 6 looks pretty sloppily applied.

I think you're joking, but just in case, I crossed out the serial number so that's just my amazing editing skills

yesss

This may change your mind...

i like the chocolate dial on the yachtmaster..
and I have a GMT II already

Humble brag

IMO, that's the best current two tone in their lineup. Much better than the older model root beer. My all-time favorite two tone will always be that 16613 sub. That deep blue just just mesmerizing.

I've always been a fan of that model YM. What are you selling it for?

Thinking this one may be a keeper for a while. I listed it on chrono24, so if it sells at that price I won't get upset. It may be on the block in a few weeks though

Always looking for the next watch. It's a sickness

This one is one of my daily wears. Absolutely love this watch.

Too many hands

If any of you are thinking about adding a rubber strap to your Rolex or Tudor, Vanguard Straps makes a pretty reasonable option. I grabbed one for my Black Bay 36, and I'm pretty happy with it. There is a little bump by the lug on mine that's barely noticeable on the bottom strap, but that's not a big deal to me. It is definitely more comfortable than the bracelet right now.

I've never been a huge Tudor fan for some reason but I really like that. Clean and simple. Well done.

That is a good looking watch. I usually can't get over that clunky hour hand on Tudors.

I'm a big fan of the rubber straps too. I picked up a Everest strap in an auction for my sub. $65 was worth it

I don't get the point of rubber straps. It makes it look cheap.

The rubber is a lot less affected by heat and humidity than a bracelet, while it is more resistant to water than leather. It looks a lot better in person than in the photo, as well. I like the way the rubber fits against the case, although the little bubble in my strap was caused by the ABS inside that fits the rubber against the case. But I admit it took me a little bit to come around to rubber. I was worried it would be like the plastic straps on my old Casio, but it is, in fact, very comfortable.

This looks good. I have a couple of Everest bands. I put a Rubber B on my Sub. Really comfortable and I like the look of it on rubber. What kind of auction site did you get the Everest off of?

I get it. In my opinion it makes it more of a utility watch while protecting the SS bracelet which is worth a bunch of money. Super comfy and fun. And I can swap out when needed

I prefer rubber and NATO to the metal ones. Way more comfortable for daily use, especially in Houston. Not what I would wear if I was dressed nicer, but I'm not going to wear my diver for that, either.



Recent pic of me with my Planet Ocean with rubber strap.

Everest makes a nice band but you can buy a Crafter Blue band that does the same thing for about 1/3 of the cost and use the difference to buy a clasp to replace the buckle.

That's very cool!

I love that...is that green trim ring really pronounced or is it more subtle like in your pic?

I believe the crystal has a green tint to it.
