Ah, the ageless debate of the best only watch vs. the best piece for a collection. I think the YM OF is amazing, but if you are on this forum, and continue to actually think about what is on your wrist (relative to other pieces), you may be wanting to build a collection. I'd say go BLNR, kill it at work and move to the YM. BLNR's can be had for $12 - $13k, where a perfect YM OF with new movement and clasp is about double that. The BLNR would also be easier to move (relative to the YM OF) if you want a change...actually LIFE IS SHORT, GET THE WATCH YOU LOVE : )

First off, congrats on the graduation! I’m a few years older and in finance as well. From my experience, get the RG YM on OF. When I’m faced with situations like this, I normally go with the option I’ve wanted the longest. I fear if you chose the BLNR, you’ll end up regretting not getting the YM. Have you seen the 37mm YM in person? It’s very small for most males. I’d suggest the 126655 instead if so.
I have the 126655 and absolutely love it. It’s still stuck at the Dallas RSC awaiting a new case, but delayed due to COVID-19. I bought a RG DD40 w/ olive green dial last month to cure my RG bug, but can’t pick it up as AD is closed temporarily because the various restrictions. |

This. Banking goes better with more conservative watches. I wouldn’t recommend paying a big premium especially now. Wait a while. I think availability will improve in the year to come. If you go secondary market, David SW is excellent. I’ve personally done business with him and it’s first class. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
