Huge congratulations a bold decision and a right decision.

Great photo, you're owning-it, and pulling it off fine already!

Durability is a non issue, imo.

Any full yg watch is flashy, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Only the owner and how he wears it wll determine that.

I rock a full YG Sub in all different environments. Dressy, casual, beach, pool, fine restaurants, etc. Very versatile and works everywhere.

However, I do not daily my 116618LB because one place I never wear it, is the office. I feel it’s too flashy in my work environment and would bring out the haters.

Other than that, it goes anywhere.

Does not look ridiculous in casual environments....at all. I might even argue it looks best in a more casual setting and outfit. I think the sunburst really pairs it well with Summer activities.

Don’t overthink the flash. Mine gets noticed sometimes but it’s not a big deal.

Nice! You never know how you will like something until you try. I would be interested to hear your thoughts about the watch a few months from now.

Oh, one more thing. A picture is worth a thousand words. I think I have heard that quote a few times. Put your pictures where you text is. Let's see it. Sounds like a beautiful watch.

You won’t want to take it off and it will easily turn into your daily wear.

The transition will happen without you even realizing it. Nice pics and enjoy...

What a beautiful watch. If I could afford a gold piece I’d be all over that.

Buy it, wear it and to hell with what someone may think. Their negative opinion isn't worth a damn.

My LB gets worn very frequently and I never had a negative comment on it in over 5 years.

On Saturday at the playground an 8 or 9 year old boy asked me 'Is that a Rolex'?

So no, it doesn´t fly under the radar.
