It looks like some of the gold plating is beginning to wear off around the bezel

There is a solution and it has been done before: do like good ol' Diego and wear them both at the same time! One left, one right No more Subby got jealous or Yammy is in tears, problem solved You might even start a new trend and become famous

No winder, Paulie...Subby gets the most wrist time, so Yammy does grind to halt. Have to set him up when I decided to wear him; but that barely takes a few seconds!!

Subby gets like 85~90% wrist time!!

Frankly, I would love to wear a watch on each hand...something I did think about a very long time ago.

Nicknames are cute, don't you agree?

Thanks, Daren...quite true, because I take it out just once in a week or so, it seems all the more attractive each time.

- The YM bezel is bi-directional while the Sub bezel is uni-directional.
- Sub has the Oyster Fliplock bracelet with diver's extension links.
- YM has the Oysterlock bracelet without extension links.
- Sub has the normal dial (except the green bezel LV0.
- YM has the maxi dial and markers
- Sub is rated waterproof to 300 m
- YM is rated waterproof to 100 m
- Both, however, are fitted with the TRIPLOCK crown system which has the additional O-ring around the stem of the watch.

Thanks, Rick, Sub gets the most wrist time. YM is mainly for the weekends. Don't want to scratch that gold during my work.
