I got the plat dial version, and promptly traded for the 16623. Not long after that I got my hands on the 2tone gold dial-ed yachtmaster...as well as a 35mm plat version for the lady.
Wu man's modded version only furthered my desire for a bluey.
The release of the new black dial-ed model lit a fire under me to get my ass in gear and get rid of the 2t for this.
DavidSW gave me a good trade in price and here we are. Was supposed to get it Monday but gotta give fedex props for their weekend deliveries.

the lugs are better designed on the newer model, its still a sexy curve and sits low with the thinner caseback.
for me i like how the end links don't jut out anymore.

i wear it long on the 6 side so the clasp sits nice on the 12. Clasp is shorter than the older models.

You paypal to DavidSW?
Shouldn't it be more expensive to buy from the US given the weakening MYR?
