The new YG GMT
I had one on my wrist on Friday night... black dialed version.
While I don't like YG on watches, this thing was pretty nice. The printing on the chapter ring is nothing near as bold as it looks in photos. In fact, you really have to look at it to notice it. The bezel is nice with the gold inlaid in the ceramic for the hours. Nice touch. The clasp is also a vast improvement over the old punched steel one and the triplock looks very much like it belongs. Overall, it's a very nice watch, but then again it lists at CDN$27,500 so it should be nice (and you can get nice discounts on YG watches, so I'm guessing you could walk out with it for around $20K plus tax. That's a guess though. The sales dude said the SS version should be priced in the CDN$6,000 range. Since the current GMT is CDN$6100, I'm guessing it'll be closer to $7000, since the LV is now $6800 plus. BTW, there was a guy doing a first time luxuray watch purchase and he had it down between a 16610 and a black PO. Tough choice. He said 'it'll be the last watch I ever buy' and I looked at him and said 'good luck'. When he asked what I meant, I told him buying luxuary time pieces is a disease that takes really strong will power to ignore. He laughed like he thought I was crazy, but the sales guy gave me a knowing smile. |

Right on, Johnny!! The new YG GMT-II is a real beauty. What did you think of the new clasp?
![]() And did you try and turn the bezel? Notice how it jumped in 2½ moves around the dial? JJ

I keep to my own ways and understand that for many people a watch isn't important. That's why we are here. Here, people do understand. So it doesn't matter if you like Rolex, IWC or Panerai, you like watches and are able to look beyond the time keeping ability alone. Our watches are more than that. ![]()

Sorry, John. While I love YG watches (having several), the YG GMT does nothing for me. It's just a tarted up workhorse. It shouldn't try to be something it isn't. I don't see a YG GMT being a dress watch. I would rather wear my black bezel GMT as a dress watch than the YG version.

But, if it lays the foundation for a revamped SS version, then they're certainly moving in the right direction. ![]() |

I visited my AD on Saturday. I wasn't going in on purpose but I noticed they had a seadweller and a 16610 in the window at the same time which is unusual in a UK city, especially in summer. I've been thinking about which to go with to partner my white face EXP II and with the chance to do a pepsi challenge between the two at the same time, I checked them out. I was leaning towards the seadweller but I also tried on a black face PO with the rubber strap. Now I'm thinking about going with the PO instead... I'm gonna need to think this one through I think... |
