There's a reason you can get those two watches for the price of the Rolex. Stick with the Rolex. It retains value. Those other two, if the need ever arises, you won't be able to unload them.

The YM2 is a great watch, not even comparable with UN or Breitling. Also as said before the resell value of the YM2 is growing year on year which means you can't loose money on it if bought at the right price. I would go with the yachtmaster all the way.

I would take the YM2 in a heartbeat over those two. That said...get the best deal you can on the TT.

So you think the YMII TT is the best deal and way above UN and britling. I also know that Rolex is above both and rolex is the king of the watchs but just wanted to know your opinions.

Easy now.

Compared to those two specific watches? Absolutely. I would take the YM2 in a second. This is coming from someone who thinks the YMII might be the worst model Rolex has ever made.

This thread gives me some deja vu of an earlier post. Would you rather have two Hyundais or one Mercedes Benz? IMHO

I have owned a UN MMD and a Breitling Chronomat but I would take the YM2 here, esp in TT with the lovely RG. The other two I would only have in SS.

I have been wearing my Ulysse Nardin while reading this thread, too funny. However, I like YM II 116680 better than Ulysse Nardin albeit this particular model is overshadowed by other Oyster models
