Never been a fan of the YM until I saw the Basel release on the 42. Put it on the very last of my list and, of course, got the call yesterday. Went in today to see it for the first time. Much more stunning in person. The WG definitely has a shine that a SS would not. The dial is out of this world and the OF is extremely comfortable and makes the entire watch and its wearability much easier on the wrist. Yes, it looks like a modded Sub to most humans but I suppose that’s not why you buy this watch. The complaints about the thickness of the hands didn’t phase me. Truth be told, I was hoping an OF WG Daytona would have come in first. MSRP and no tax seems like a fair deal. I have 24 hours to decide if I want to dump the coin on this unexpected arrival. It’s less about the money but more about the guilt of spending this much on a watch that is nowhere near the top of my list. She is a beauty though. Any thoughts to help my sleepless night?
