Anyone own both blue and slade dial Yachtmaster 40 or have 2 of the same model?
 

My slade Yachtmaster 40 is my most comfortable watch and i simply love the bi-directional bezel. Would love to get a blue dial, but feel as if I should expand my collection into other models before I get a second of one i already own. Currently own Yachtmaster 40 Slade, Black GMT Master II, Green OP 41 and on list for Air King. All thoughts opinions welcome

I have similar collection,check DJ blue 36 or 41 , nice looking watch too.

Your watches, your money, your choice.I've got two Subs and two Sky Dwellers because I love them.

There are no collecting rules. Buy what you want to see and feel on your wrist. [emoji4]

Go for it! I agree the YM is the most comfortable watch I have.

I have both. One of them is the 116622 series which was called the “Rhodium" dial. The blue dial one is the 12 series. I wear the blue dial one more frequently than the other one. For me, the YM40 is the most comfortable watch in my collection.

Sounds like a solid collection! If you love the YM40, a blue dial would be a great addition, but branching out could keep things interesting :chuckle:

Maybe wait until you land the Air King and see how you feel—no wrong choice here!

I used to shun the idea of having different dial colors of the same model watch. It still comes up often any time the SS Daytona is mentioned. I have owned three generations and both black and white. I am happy with my black 116500 and have no desire to add a white.
But the last few years I’ve become a big fan of the new gen OP41’s. I have a few of those.

I do like the Yachtmaster and prefer the blue dial.

I also have the same problem with my GMT. I really love the Batgirl, but i have the All black GMT.

There are collectors who only buy Submariners. There's no right or wrong to any of this. I have found, in my experience, that owning two of the same model (even if dial or bezel are different) results in both getting worn less. I like to have the best representative variation of any given model, particularly with Rolex.

The only redundancy I have in my collection is ironically the Submariner. I have 16610 that was the first Rolex I was ever gifted by my parents. It will never go anywhere. I also have a modern 126610LV.

Pretty much:cheers::thumbsup:

This is a good take on it, and I agree.

16610 ! :clap: :clap:
