Yes, I know...?? Right!

Here's the thing. I love everything about it. The weight, the beautiful blue Color. The Glidelock, and maxi-case... The way it flies under the Radar. The compliments i have been getting on it. It's a beauty to look at, but I'm not in love.

The darn 116655 has been calling me. I mean, I started the 116655 club, and I'm not even a member!

Am I koo-koo or what?

Maybe you just need to walk it off, take a break and think about it. Both are great watches so it would be a tough choice for me as well. But whenever I start feeling the urge to flip, I take a 2 week waiting period break and think about it.

Yes, you are.

I personally wouldn't make that trade, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Make a move if something is singing more loudly. It's not like they are stopping production on the smurf.

That's true. It's not like its an irreversible decision. Maybe you'll loose a few dollars but you can always go back if it is a mistake (in your mind)...after your 2 week cooling off period!

I would keep the smurf. But if you really really want a 116655, go for it and be happy. The only opinion that matter in this issue is yours.

joli160 · 30 March 2016, 12:47 AM

Why not, the YM is a stunner, but rubber strap ???

Oyster Al · 30 March 2016, 12:50 AM

Giiirrrrl please.

Rocco21 · 30 March 2016, 12:52 AM

If it calls to u then get it as it will keep calling u.

Sublovin · 30 March 2016, 12:52 AM

You are crazy! I think you are just in the mood to feel the excitement of a new watch...
I much prefer what you have

RMC12 · 30 March 2016, 12:55 AM

I assume you have tried on the YM. I was REALLY keen on it until I tried it on. Then it just didn't sing to me at all. I still think it looks gorgeous but it just isn't for me. Plus, it would have to have absolutely blown my socks off for me to sell my Smurf to get it and it didn't come close!!

I ordered one, but when I saw it in the shop I changed my mind. Interestingly, a Smurf was also in the store and I preferred that. The Yachtmaster is a stunning watch, but somehow it tries too hard....and I wasn't keen on the rose gold. My partner strongly disliked the rubber strap. That watch may well 'date' very quickly, or it might become a classic! Who ever knows.
Anyway, I bought a white gold DD40, which I now find a nicer watch than either of the two 'submariner' versions. Which is something I never expected. The whole thing has surprised me.
I would take the Smurf over the 116655, and a WG DD40 over either.
Of course, your mileage may vary.

threemonkeys · 30 March 2016, 12:56 AM

The alternative watch definately has some sporty sexiness. It's a heart vs. head moment. Just take a bit of time and make multiple visits to an AD. That worked for me.

opaline460 · 30 March 2016, 12:58 AM

I think Koo Koo to trade...

Snow-Dweller · 30 March 2016, 12:59 AM

I smell regret on the way.
