What to do!

Real first world problem.

I WANT a blue dial YM 116622 and I already have a 16610 and a 16710 . The Pepsi has both a near mint condition oyster and a brand new jubilee from RSC.

1) should I sell the jubilee bracelet or is it best kept as a mega-full set with the 16710?

2) how can I buy a YM blue face from an AD?

It does indeed look much smaller and thinner - I looked at that a long time. I know it is authentic because after buying it in January I had it serviced at Rolex.

I think the appearance of being smaller comes from the thinner bracelet, the sub's thicker clasp, then the thicker caseback all adding up to make the sub closer to the camera. They are the same size almost.

Thanks for sharing, maybe the jubilee bracelet strength this perception. This GMT looks anyway very nice.

You can buy a blue faced YM by walking into an AD. They're not hard to find...yet.

Keep you two pieces and add the YM later, the YM is not hard to get.

Keep the GMT, sell the Submariner.

So you think about selling the jubilee and one of the two watches to fund the YM? I don't quite understand your situation.

The jubilee you have fits all your watches (I presume you have the 62510 since your got it from RSC, with 502T endlinks given your GMT doesn't have holes) so I would keep it and use it to change the look of all of your watches (even the YM).

If you absolutely HAVE to sell one, I would sell the Sub. Otherwise, both are great watches and you should just ADD the YM in your current collection!

Good luck anyway!

I would hold what you have and try to find the YM at an AD. Failing that, I would try to find a nice example at a gray dealer you trust. I don't think the secondary pricing on these are all that bad.

Sell nothing. You will always regret.

Selling a watch would hurt. I was considering selling a bracelet for the 16710.

The sub is a keeper. I love it and the bracelet is a mess as it's my daily.

Hard to debate this given the choices.

Don’t sell either. You will regret it eventually.

I saw at least four YM with the blue or rhodium dials over the past week in Antalya, Turkey. They also have them in a couple of ADs in Dubai that I visited. Not hard to find.
