Hello,
Can you imagine that both of theses chronographs cost around 25000 euros!!!!
Love to have you opinion about the future?
Cheers

I'm not and never will be a fan of the Yuck-Master II.

The vintage cosmograph, on the other hand, WOW!!!

Don't know about the future but neither one does anything for me.
But if I had to choose, I'd take the chrono.

Love the daytona but like mic6 said the more i look to the yellow gold yuckmaster the more i fall in love with it. I think that we need some time in order to digest the watch

I'd go with the Cosmo from a purely personal prespective.

If I look at the cost....much more for your money with the YM II.. It's a revolution in mechanical watches with the new movement and it's "mechanical memory"

The Cosmo is just another Chrono - a rare one true, but still an egg timer..

For the future, if the vintage SS cosmograph is worth the same as the BNIB YM2 now God knows what it'll be worth in years to come, Cosmo please.

Actually i believe that the yachtmaster II is going to have really high resale value because it is limited watch

Am not a fan of the YM whatsoever. What's with "YACHT MASTER" blazed on the bottom of the bezel??? Looks sort of Tag-ish...... This is the sort of watch you'd wear in Vegas,

In my fruitless search for a WG ceramic, the AD showed me the WG YM, and whilst it is a HUGE BEAST of a watch (I mean it is HUGE - pics don't do it justice - it doesn't look like a rolex to me.

Vintage Cosmograph, no question or contest. Yacht Master II is just plain ugly looking!

So that is a Bulgari model, correct?

Neither one of those does anything for me. I'd take my GMT Master and a two tone last generation Yachtmaster in a heartbeat over those.
