Just got off the phone with an AD I've never bought from but visited a month ago and they just got a a 40mm rhodium Yachtmaster and a black dial DSSD in today. I'm going in the morning to try both of them on and see which one i like best. I'll be leaving with at least one of them, maybe both. I've never had either one on so this should be interesting.

Have an idea which one you’re leaning towards more if not both? So very different!

I've really been lusting after the rhodium dial Yachtmaster from the pics I've been seeing so I'm leaning in that direction. I'm glad i have the opportunity to try it on to see if it lives up to the pics.

Beautiful pic! They actually have the blue dial as well. I'll have to try that one on too!

garbanzo · 24 October 2020, 10:09 AM

You've got two very different watches to choose from.
DSSD is a perfect example of overengineering, nobodoy needs a watch for depths of 3900 m

On the other hand, the YM is a beautiful piece of jewelry, more so than the DSSD.

I would go for the DSSD.

No wrong choice between the two, but two very different watches. Make sure to post pics on the final selection tomorrow. And congrats in advance.

If have the wrist to wear, definitely DSSD

broham84 · 24 October 2020, 12:51 PM

Rhodium for me

ecsw · 24 October 2020, 12:53 PM

I had the same choices last year. I went with DSSD.
Love them both, but I'd like the ceramic finish better.

Oldfellow · 24 October 2020, 02:55 PM

As has been said they are two very different watches, it will not be an easy comparison.
If you are able to get both go for it.
Otherwise get whichever sings to you.
My vote would be for the YM blue dial.
Looking forward to seeing your pics when you decide.

Kadhytia · 24 October 2020, 02:59 PM

Rhodium you’ll love it for sure.

Another vote for the YM40 - but try both on and see which one you connect with.

Roger Lococco · 24 October 2020, 06:51 PM

YM in whichever dial color jumps out at you.

joli160 · 24 October 2020, 07:52 PM

I have both, very different watches, equally beautiful

mussi · 24 October 2020, 08:25 PM

YM40 Rhodium is my pick! good luck!

MrJKLFoams · 24 October 2020, 08:28 PM

Get em both if you can. Congratulazione in advance!

1William · 24 October 2020, 10:34 PM

Both are cool watches but very different. The DSSD is difficult to try on without the bracelet being sized appropriately as it will be top heavy and move around. This is not the case when sized. The YM is nice for the metal bezel and interesting dial and second hand. I like it but have never owned one. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

JayHantz · 25 October 2020, 12:07 AM

Always get the one that sings to you most. I would lean to the YM if I was in your shoes. I was able to try a DSSD from a friend, and I use to own the YM. The YM is one of the most comfortable watches I have ever owned, and that rhodium dial was just perfect.

SushiSean · 25 October 2020, 12:19 AM

I have a Cameron and a YM rhodium. I love them both but if I had to pick it would be the YM. Even at 6’5” 235 the DSSD is a commitment to wear.

usmc_k9_vet · 25 October 2020, 09:23 AM

Tough choice. As has been stated, 2 completely different watches here. They YMs have great dials! I like the size of the DSSD but would go for the JC version if getting that model, personally.

I have the JC and blue dial YM. Love them both but between the black DSSD and the YM rhodium, The YM wins hands down!

jerryguo · 25 October 2020, 09:39 AM

YM easy choice, if it were d-blue then it would have been harder.
