Too dressy to wear everyday? PART-II...Decision inside!

Hey all, I've been going back and forth for some time now and couldnt' decide between a TT Daytona or TT Yacht with MOP D/S dial. I really llike the look of the Yacht and the way it fits and the fact that you don't see them everyday. So after much debate and great opinions from everyone here at TRF, I pulled the trigger and got the Yacht! It's a great feeling watch and even better looking in person! Thanks to Scott over at TopNotchWatch for all his help! And thanks to everyone here for helping me decide!

That is truly a magnificent piece. One thing I never understood is why Rolex puts an SS crown on the 18k/SS YM. There should be an 18k crown just like all of their other 18k/SS offerings!!

There is something great to be said on a factory Rolex mop dial! Marvelous!

Looks beautiful! I love the mop serti dial. You see my lousy picture of my TT sub slate serti dial in my avatar. That was my everyday watch until I got my SS GMTIIC. Now, I wear the sub less often and moreso on special occassions. However, I do wear it to work every now and then and do so with jeans. Looks great and yours will also.

This goes great with my thread about diamond markers the other day. Glad someone else loves them. That's a stunning watch!

Nice watch, but I might find it a bit flashy for day to day wear. That said, it sure is a beauty

Personally, I don't think a watch is ever overdressed. Equally, I think one can wear a sportwatch in any kind of situation.
