It’s time to say goodbye

I have about a week left with my Yachtmaster, it’s been my one and only for a long time, I’ve enjoyed the great times but unfortunately, its time to say goodbye.

Next week something more stealthy, more tool, sportier and less flashy will arrive.

Yachtmaster is a great watch but its time to move on.

I’ll post some photos I took on the past years of the YM.

Starting by the YM with all the goodies.

Savage!

Atleast Sheen used the 37mm and not the 40mm for my own mental sanity.

The original YM is great. I did enjoy mine before flipping for a Sea Dweller.

BTW, your s/n is showing....

Damn P. You’ve been the standard bearer for the YM all this time, who’s going to take your place?
Hope the new piece when it arrives is every bit as good as the YM has been for you.

I think its time to pass down the job to one of those beautiful YM's running around here. New piece is kind of a grail, some may say its the ultimate watch for a OWG like myself. Thanks for your kind words!

Smart move and you will not regret it! But keeping everyone in suspense as to your new model is simply not fair!!!

Based on your posts I thought the YM was going to be a staple in your collection! You moving it for an Explorer?
