Hi,

currently I have a 14060M from 2007 in excellent condition and I must say I just love that watch. However, I always had a weak spot for the Yachtmaster - I guess one could argue that the Yachtm. is only a flashier Sub.

Now, I found someone who is selling their Yachtmaster 2004 with a dark blue dial.

Would you flip the 14060M for a Yachtmaster ?

[excluding the most reasonable answer "keep the 14060M and get the Yachtmaster"

]

Rocco22 · 6 August 2012, 07:56 AM

Do whatever makes you happy,what would make happy is keeping the sub

dcash0615 · 6 August 2012, 07:56 AM

Me personally, no I would not do it. I would keep the 14060M. This is a classic and I personally do not care for the Yachtmaster. Again this is my opinion. Sounds like you have a liking for the YM. If so, do it and wear the YM for a while and see. You can always go back to the 14060M.

Good luck. Let us know what you decide.

z32turbo · 6 August 2012, 08:19 AM

YM 's not my favorite but if you like I say go for it!!

Art 1 · 6 August 2012, 08:20 AM

If I wanted to.

If it makes you happy, they're reasonably different in looks, if not function

Rolex Freak · 6 August 2012, 08:35 AM

Nope.

ecsub44 · 6 August 2012, 08:41 AM

I wouldn't.

Apples and Oranges if you ask me....

nauticajoe · 6 August 2012, 08:42 AM

You love your Sub. I wouldn't do it. I have a feeling you'll regret it later. Save up for the YM.

kilyung · 6 August 2012, 08:43 AM

Why not? I like the YM.

Hairdude1 · 6 August 2012, 08:53 AM

If it makes you happy we are happy!

i would not flip the 14060m.

kh1970 · 6 August 2012, 09:08 AM

Personally I would stick with the 14060m.

mjclark32 · 6 August 2012, 09:14 AM

I like the sub more than the ym, so no I would not do the trade.

TakesALickin · 6 August 2012, 10:25 AM

I'd stick with the 14060M too. While you may like the Yachtmaster, you may want to consider the ratio of replies against it here. If nothing else, it suggests selling it would be more difficult than selling the 14060M, should you ever tire of the Yachtmaster.

gwalker · 6 August 2012, 10:37 AM

Maybe as I like a date.

wuyeah · 6 August 2012, 10:41 AM

Keep the sub.

Viv Savage · 6 August 2012, 10:42 AM

Bangel · 6 August 2012, 10:47 AM

Obviously, do what you think is right, but it were me, I wouldn't flip the sub. If I liked the YM, I'd just add it to the stable.

MYK · 6 August 2012, 11:26 AM

I would keep the 14060 too. Did they make SS (platinum) Blue YMs back then, or is this a two tone or gold?

Ebruner · 6 August 2012, 11:52 AM

If you will wear it more, and enjoy it more, go for it.

wineguy · 6 August 2012, 01:39 PM

I would because I prefer a date function on my watch

wokafu · 6 August 2012, 01:41 PM

nah...im not gonna do it...

JUSTROLEXES · 6 August 2012, 01:44 PM

Yacht all the way

joesephcho · 6 August 2012, 01:50 PM

keep the sub. like others have posted, you may have second thoughts after its gone.

changster · 6 August 2012, 02:42 PM

unless you really like the YM

T-Rip · 6 August 2012, 02:48 PM

I did that exact thing... Do it!!!

Dr. Robert · 6 August 2012, 02:49 PM

to paraphrase that great line from "The Godfather".......Leave the yachtmaster, Take (keep) the 14060.
