new blue arrival
« on: August 02, 2015, 09:44:03 AM »
I have been lusting after this for so long its not even funny anymore...
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.


red pops big time against the blue

pcl not for everyone

one thing i have always liked is the grained texture of the ym bezel

raised numerals a bit BP trilogy like..not as chunky though


modern kick ass bracelet

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

crazy blue








very pretty

modern blue lume

is it everything I have thought it to be? yep. (now to mod it wu style...?)


wrist shot!

This is also the only version of the YM that I like. Congrats on a wonderful purchase. DavidSW is great, does what he does with no fuss, no muss and integrity.

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

I did trade+cash. The strong usd worked out well for the trade value.
