The hard part of that is that once you get one you always want another, then another, then another.

That is not my experience, I collected several very visible scratches in just a few weeks of normal use.







Of course, if you really want a scratch free bezel, ceramic is your only option, but I have found the Explorer II bezel much more resilient. (Not surprising of course, since it is stainless and does not have any polished surfaces.)

Adam, that would be a sweet deal! Is that a reasonable offer? I dont think i have ever see a YM selling in mid 4k... I often see YM in 5k or maybe high 4ks.... Anyone else can give me some ideas???

I think newer ones can be had with box and papers for just over $5k, so it all depends on what your priorities are.

$5k tops, since no box or papers.

I love mine and I bought mine pre-loved as well. I was glad to see it in person and see that the bezel had minimal wear.



Here is a Nato twist:
