Ken, this is gorgeous - in fact, I love every one of your watches, all of which are breathtaking (so this is no exception).

Thanks Eric as always-you are a class act and gentleman!! She will have a great home with me!



Ken,

This beauty is in a league of its own... I like it! To get a perfect YG tone for its age, its extremely hard. Enjoy it in good health!

Best,

Fred

I noticed that this is the only YG Sub, that the crown is not painted on the dial, but an actual crown on top of the dial
