Yatch-Master 11 vs DeepSea D-Blue

I have the opportunity to buy a Yatch-Master 11 Stainless and/or a DeepSea Blue Rolex. Both are new and very close to the same price. What are your thoughts? I like a big watch so both are very appealing to me. I already own the black Deep Sea and a few Submariners in various colors that I wear from time to time. Thanks!!

If you "get" the YM II, then you need to get the YM II. I have a fondness for sail boat racing, and countdown timer racing watches.

Since you have the DSSD black I'd say YM II....or better yet, trade your DSSD black and get both the Blue and YM II. That's the route I'd go!

I prefer the YMII. I love the white dial with that blue bezel. Sharp look! I would never need the functionality of the DSSD any more than I would the timer on the YMII so the functionality is unimportant to me on this one.

The YM2 can be worn more easily under a shirt cuff than the DSSD.

Having said that, I'd prefer the DSSD blue, as neither of these watches wouldn't be a daily wearer in my rotation.

Best of luck

Since you have a DSSD black, go for the YMll. It is a stunning watch that gets lots of wrist presence for its beauty. Having two DSSD is not something that I would do. The DSSD black and blue are very similar, only up close will you notice the subtle difference. Have fun.

If you have a DSSD then get the YMII. I prefer the YMII in YG. It's on my grail list. Happy hunting.

I prefer the D Blue but wouldn't want two Deepseas in the collection.
Flip the black Deepsea and buy both!

I agree with the majority here also. I would flip the DSSD for the Deep Blue and get the YMII.

I happen to like the YMII very much. For my wrist, I can pull off the YMII but the height of the DSSD is just too much. Sounds like you have some other watches, so a YMII with a little bit of flash is a good thing.

I have the DSSD black and picked up the YM II SS you're looking at.

Get the YM II SS.

All the DSSD Blue is, is an updated dial in black and a very subtle blue fade. Not worth taking the hit on the DSSD black to trade up to the blue.

I would say go for that YM2! It is such a great watch, and works well in any environment
