YM SS/P Buying question
First this is my first post, I am glad I found this site. My question is this, am I better off buying a "D" series (worn twice with plastic still on the lugs) or a "Z" series for aprox 10% more (NIB) both from GM persons. For argument sake lets say the D is 6.2k whike the Z is 6.75k
Thanks for the input. Steve |

Welcome to TRF.
I think you better go with Z serial as if in case you decide to sell it you would get value according to the 2007 manufacture.

Usaveontime dealer
Thank you for the input. Im getting close. I thought I had read somewhere on here that a GM dealer named USaveontime, was thought to be a reputable dealer. Now I cant seem to find the post. Does anyone have any input reguarding this GM dealer?
Again thanks. Steve |

I'd go with the D serial and save $550.
In five years time both watches will be of equal value if in identical condition.

If yes then he's a really really honest seller. You would not go wrong with him. Happily go for your purchase.

In a few months time, they'll both fetch the same resale price. Save the money and go with the D

Im leaning towards the Z as the D seller (while I trust most to a fault) has little ebay feedback, though I did get a copy of his origianl bill of sale from a AD for whatever that is worth. Thinking peace of mind for 500.

It will look exactly the same...the D series only worn twice...it's almost new...But you have to look at the conditions of the watches...Is the D series really looks as good as new as he claimes ? Good luck... Regards,

Well Steve please check these listings on ebay.com : item no. 140113621836 , item no. 160112477904.
These are the best deals for Yachtmaster. You can further negotiate with the seller so would get a real good deal. Good luck!!!!!

I would never buy a watch on ebay. I would look at some of the good dealers who deal with this list and have sold watches to our people. Like Cayce. And contact him and let him find you a watch. He can find you one that is grades as next to new as possible, and really there is little diff. Or go to an AD and slap down 15% less than list in cash and see how you do. I am not that brazen, but others are and seem to do well. aws

Thanks for all the info and help. I bought today from Alan Furman. After talking to them and reading the feedback on here I figured it was the way to go. I should be getting the watch next week. Pics to follow.
