After much internal debate, I decided to sell my Yachtmaster blue dial 116622 for a BATMAN!

I traded the Yachtmaster and kicked in about $5K to get the Batman. Did I make the correct decision? I love the Yachtmaster but I felt it hovered between dress & sport watch too much and I was looking for solid sport watch to add to my other solidly sport Rolexes and PAM 111.

Batman is awesome.
Especially in good condition with the oyster bracelet.
You can get another yachtmaster later pretty easily if you miss it.

OrangeKenny · 10 April 2020, 10:51 AM

The Batman definitely fits in the the rest of your collection, no doubt. Looks great, wear it well

Handey0465 · 10 April 2020, 10:53 AM

I would have kept the YM...The blue dial YM is beautiful...

42itus · 10 April 2020, 10:57 AM

As long as you’re happy then it was a good decision.

Hey, if that's the watch you wanted, you made the right decision. I'm a fan of both references, myself, so can't go wrong.

rmlovett1 · 10 April 2020, 10:59 AM

You made the right move if you’ll enjoy the Batman more.

Wcdhtwn · 10 April 2020, 11:03 AM

If you’re happy then you made the right move.

1665fan · 10 April 2020, 11:04 AM

Easily a good move

Seaswirl · 10 April 2020, 11:08 AM

Doesn’t seem like a “controversial” incoming to me. $5km seems a little steep, but otherwise I’d swap a YM for a BLNR any day of the week.

Odie-r · 10 April 2020, 11:09 AM

Congrats on your new Batman!

Ensign · 10 April 2020, 11:16 AM

Good move!

Congratulations, BM is a fine looking timepiece.

Mystro · 10 April 2020, 11:21 AM

I see nothing controversial?? Why not make the swap if you are not into the YM anymore. Good choice.

Onikage · 10 April 2020, 11:22 AM

I prefer the YM. Sorry.

sp006 · 10 April 2020, 11:41 AM

Only controversial thing is how much extra you had to kick in. Yikes

JRT · 10 April 2020, 11:48 AM

Good move! Congrats.

MattyIce3285 · 10 April 2020, 11:48 AM

If it’s the one you want, it’s the right one.

Alexexec · 10 April 2020, 11:49 AM

Absolutely love the YM, such a comfortable and classy watch, like a luxurious sub. I don’t have much experience with the gmt but it’s a good looking watch too for sure, enjoy

Bort · 10 April 2020, 12:03 PM

Great choice!
BLNR on oyster bracelet is my favorite GMT.
One of these days, I would like to have a nice example.Wear it in good health.
Very nice collection.

Chewbacca · 10 April 2020, 12:10 PM

Huh?

Many have swapped YMs for GMTc’s... Now, if you said a YM for a Milgauss or Cellini that’s different. Enjoy!

Psmith · 10 April 2020, 12:50 PM

I'm not sure why this is controversial, but you have a very nice collection - I like the 111 on the rubber strap

watchmework · 10 April 2020, 12:55 PM

Great choice...congrats!

cph81 · 10 April 2020, 12:57 PM

$5000 more for something $2000 cheaper?

IR201 · 10 April 2020, 03:06 PM

I'm struggling a bit with my yachtmaster blue myself. Love the look - it might be the most beautiful rolex i own. But like you I feel like it doesn't really have an identity between dress and sport. So I see why you made the move. Love the batman!

eonflux · 10 April 2020, 03:11 PM

Only thing controversial I see is the white strap on that Panerai!

Just kidding.

Happiness is priceless.
Congrats on Batman!

Monte Cristo · 10 April 2020, 03:15 PM

You like the Batman, you bought the Batman, enjoy the Batman.

LuxuryWatchSales · 10 April 2020, 03:32 PM

Congrats on the Batman, collection looks great!
Nothing wrong with enjoying a few other pieces, you can always get the YM again later,
for now enjoy the batman!

Ihatecheese · 10 April 2020, 03:55 PM

Enjoy your new watch.!

Cwillis0001 · 10 April 2020, 05:15 PM

"Extremely controversial." Maybe get out more if this is your definition of controversy.

Jokes aside, congratulations on the new watch!
