Finally, a YM to call my own

Hi folks,

A milestone was coming up for me and I decided to treat myself with something special...something that I've been wanting for quite sometime...the SS/PT Yachtmaster. I flipped a couple but couldn't be happier with this watch. Thanks to a trusted seller on the forum it is finally sitting on my wrist.

At 40mm it really is the right size for the design and color scheme. I also love the red accent of the seconds hand and the large numbers on the bezel. What I really like the most is the maxi dial...very, very tastefully done...and the lume is just outrageous.

Without further ado here are some snapshots (excuse the poor quality).









Thanks for looking...
