Well, my dearly beloved had given me a 'go ahead' on Tudor (BlackBay or Pelagos); but I just HAVE TO see the new YM in the flesh. If it pushes the right buttons, I think it could be a nice addition to these babies....

Oh yes, the new YM will slot in quite nicely in that lineup. Personally, I love it.

So does that mean there is a Tudor AND a YM in your future? Which of the Tudors are you leaning towards? Congrats in advance, Gerardo!

I think Tudor will be first, just have to share the new Pelagos pics with her (most of my watches it has been a solo decision; but I just love it when she jumps on board and says 'I like that watch and you should get it'). YM so far I like it but will have to see in in the flesh first. Also, Tudor is a 3-5k toy, while YM will be over 20k easily.

Last year, Tudor made it to the AD by June/July; new Rolex Sept/Oct

Quit saying that G!!!!! Think rubber, think "cheaper".

Fingers crossed. I hope this one looks as good in real life as it does in pictures.

Jumping from the price range of a Tudor BB or Pelagos to a RG YM?!

I love the way you think!

Good stuff. It will compliment your collection nicely.

I thought I was the only one who has their AD on speed dial along with my CC info on file.

Sounds like a plan...the Pelagos has caught my fancy as well.

G, the YM does look appealing. Will have to wait and see it in person and try on the "oysterflex" bracelet.
