Here are a couple of pictures of my newly acquired GMT IIc and Stainless/Platinum Yachtmaster. I am thinking of selling the YM so I can buy a Stainless Daytona. What do you think?

If you ask me personally, it's a bad idea. I would much rather keep the beautiful Platty as opposed to a Daytona.......but whatever floats your boat.

Come on now, Joe. That YM of yours looks like a million greenbacks. Keep it.

Cato · 29 October 2008, 05:32 AM

I'd keep the YM: it has a more understated dial.

Giants Fan · 29 October 2008, 05:43 AM

I'm in the same boat, except I have a 34 mm stainless steel Date and ladies YM in ss/platinum. I am seriously considering flipping the YM for a two-tone Sub, Daytona or YM. I think it all comes down to how much wear you are getting out of it and if you can live without it.

The YM doesn't scream Rolex, it's a very quiet sophisticated watch, I just wish mine was midsize and it was two-tone.

Hey Joe:

Those are great pics of two beautful watches.
I have always wanted a Yachtmaster but I WILL NOT get one until they update the clasp to the calibre of the new GMT clasp. Since you own both already, could you please kindly give us a quick review of both of those clasps.

I'm sure many members here would like to hear your testimony.
Thanks.

The clasp on the GMT IIc is an upgrade with a cleaner look. I hate to say this but I actually prefer the clasp on the YM. For some reason the YM fits tighter on my wrist. My AD has tried taking out a link in my GMT IIc and move the setting on the clasp. It is either too tight or just a bit looser than my YM. The clasp on the YM has more adjustments. I guess that is why it seems to fit my wrist.

I hope this helps.

Latrodectus · 29 October 2008, 06:19 AM

I would sell it in a heartbeat

SS Oyster · 3 November 2008, 04:25 PM

Dump it and get the Daytona!

Dylan Wade · 13 November 2008, 10:23 PM

I'm not a Daytona fan either and think the Platty is simply too nice to sell/trade anyway.

Keep them both they look fantastic

esm · 14 November 2008, 10:22 AM

how about keeping the YM and flip the GMTIIC for the Daytona?

flwrtears · 14 November 2008, 04:56 PM

Such a waste to sell off the YM...IMO that is a nice looking watch with white gold bezel..wait for the right time to get the daytona instead..

sea-dweller · 17 November 2008, 11:31 AM

Nice !

I agree with JJ. I've been wearing my new platinum YM and can't conceive of selling it. There is nothing like this watch. I DO think the Speedmaster is one sexy watch however. But if you can conceive of parting with it, do so and get something you can't part with :)

pricojorge · 4 March 2009, 03:27 AM

Do me a favor and sell it please lol

JPersat · 4 March 2009, 03:34 AM

Keep the YM and save for the Daytona

rkrdr · 4 March 2009, 06:07 AM

You have two fine watches....dark face and light face!
I say keep the YM, but I'm not a Daytona fan...

Rolex Lover · 4 March 2009, 06:30 AM

Keep both of them, Joe!!!! I want to add both models to my small collection and really donno by which one to start. I quit drinking alcoholic beverages in order to save some money and buy one of the those beautiful timepiece!!!!

Thanks,
Ahmed

aelvin · 4 March 2009, 07:36 AM

definitely keep the YM....

Lion · 5 March 2009, 12:50 AM

I'd keep the YM it's a beautiful watch and then save for the Daytona!!!

hflee55 · 9 March 2009, 12:50 PM

ROLEXOFMIAMI · 9 March 2009, 01:12 PM

keep it and buy the daytona

tthopp05 · 12 March 2009, 12:54 PM

Keep them both and buy the Daytona.lol

hennabav · 13 March 2009, 06:46 AM

I agree with the top 4 posts. Keep it and save for the Daytona. The Plat YM was the one I wanted when I was around 15 but when I finally saved enough money to buy a Rolex, I went with the Daytona and love it. I think right now is a good time to buy a SS Daytona since the mkt is sliding. Once it hits bottom, the prices for Daytonas are gonna climb again.

Scream · 13 March 2009, 10:46 AM

Wow that Platinum Yachtmaster is beautiful :)

mck22 · 13 March 2009, 11:50 AM

Those look nice!!!

model4you · 13 March 2009, 11:17 PM

I think both are gorgeous.

beemreatr · 15 March 2009, 02:24 PM

Only ADD to your collection! Those two are sooo nice, Just add the Daytona,

xrayos · 23 March 2009, 01:10 PM
