YM or TT SM300?

Hi guys,

I have a friend who's offering to swap his TT rose gold seamaster 300 with my Yachtmaster.

On the one hand I really like how the seamaster looks. It's just stunning in person. But on the other hand, my YM is such a great all around companion.

Actually, if I had both I'm all set haha! But unfortunately, it can't be. It has to be one or the other.

What do you guys think, keep the YM or swap it?

Thanks!

lors

Yatchmaster 1 or 2? Need more details about which models you're referring to.

Like the 300 more than either the yatchmaster 1 or 2, but if he's trying to get you to give up the yatchmaster 2 for the two tone 300, hes trying to take advantage.

Yatchmaster 2 - no way in hell.
Yatchmaster - I personally would.

Keep your Yacht-Master. Personally, I feel it is a better all around watch than a TT RG Seamaster.

Yes I agree.

I actually used to have a TT 16613 which was great but in reality, I hardly used it. And ended up letting it go (I know I'm an idiot lol).

Thing is, I don't like having things that just sit there. It's a huge waste no matter what it is.

This Omega tho is really stunning. But maybe comparing that to other watches in the same range like a TT 16613 or an older TT Daytona, the Omega may be "too young" to play with those icons.

I've never liked two tone watches in general, but the yatchmaster is one of the very few rolex models I really dislike.

I tend to only care about what will make me happy to see on my wrist.

I would probably stick with the yatchmaster mainly because it's not a two tone. Steel or the titanium 300 and I would take it over the yatchmaster in a second. While saving a bunch of money as well.
