My new bling

Post by andy tims » Thu Apr 11, 2013 5:55 am

Never thought I'd get one of these, but the blue dial, which as you can see appears to change colour significantly, depending how it catches the light drew me in.

The platinum bezel is lovely as is the modern bracelet clasp.

Very different from the rest of my collection, I'm not sure if this will be a long termer, but I'm certainly enjoying it for now.

Very nice. I am still partial to the platinum dial however i like the new clasp and the different end links on the newer version a lot more.
cheers,

Congrats Andy. She's a true beauty and the blue dial is fascinating in the changing light.

Congratulations :thumbsup: I love the case aesthetics of the YM - far more stylish than the Sub C case imo.

Let's not get too carried away here... this IS a dive watch forum, after all. I'll grant that it's shinier, as that's firmly in the realm of objectivity. But I do like the smaller lug size on that case.
