So I've been planning on picking up a SS Daytona and 114060 this Spiring since last Fall....go to the AD yesterday and he offers me a BNIB YM 2 for just over 15k. Always loved the watch, but never liked the price....now there is only a 2k delta between the 2 or the YM. What do I do?

Well for me two watches are always better than one if you really want the YM11 go for it otherwise get what you planned to get.

SC11 · 11 April 2014, 04:23 PM

Do you already have a SS Daytona?

jjnd08 · 11 April 2014, 10:32 PM

Stick with the plan.

beshannon · 11 April 2014, 10:35 PM

Depends on what you want.

Personally I do not like the Yachtmaster II, I do like the Sub and the Daytona

SaddleSC · 11 April 2014, 10:39 PM

I would stay the course. The SS YMII is a fun, novelty piece as part of a larger collection, but as a daily wearer it falls a little short for me. It wears quite large and the complication, while a technical marvel, i don't find it to be incredibly useful in everyday life. It is a great watch, I would just much rather have a Daytona and a Sub for the same $$.

116520 and 114060

Fall in love with the WG YM-II...problem averted because you'll need another 15-20K

Seriously, I believe you'll enjoy the 2 models vs 1...

good advise!!

but I do love that YMII!!!!

JJL · 11 April 2014, 11:23 PM

As much as I like the YMII, I do feel it's hard to pass up the 2 watches.

I just posted a similar question on the used SD+Pepsi combo or a SDc.

Two Is better than one

Cru Jones · 11 April 2014, 11:35 PM

SS YMII is beautiful, but, if I could only have a Daytona and 114060 or an SS YMII, I would take the two over the one without ANY hesitation, even despite paying 2k more.

SC11 · 12 April 2014, 12:07 AM

Am I missing something?

OP's profile says he has an SD and a Daytona?

Maybe a different dial color Daytona?

mjclark32 · 12 April 2014, 12:57 AM

If you already have an SD and Daytona I say go for the YMII

SC11 · 12 April 2014, 01:37 AM

Yeah I was a little bemused about all the two watches Vs one comments and surely having a Daytona and SD already adding the YMII would certainly give a nice collection to rotate!

To me having two Daytona's and as much as many will say an SD is not a Sub having the SD and 114060 would for me be too much alike.

But each to their own

You would be giving up two very popular watches for one very polarizing one. It doesn't make a difference if you're a "keep for life" guy, but if not... I'd give it some serious thought.

AK797 · 12 April 2014, 02:46 AM

Those two for me, I tried on the YM2 and I much preferred the blue YM1, its just not classical looking enough for me, too maverick.

Go for it!
