Should I buy or pass?

YM yellow gold with white face, boxes and papers. 12,750, I would say excellent condition. What do you guys think?

Asking a forum of enablers. That said many dislike YG and the YM. I, however, am not in that camp. I like YG and while there would be many other watches I would purchase before a YM, 13k seems like a deal. Not a crazy deal based on a quick search but a pretty good deal. Buy it if you want it. Sounds like there is doubt and you want someone to talk you into it.

Lovely watch and a change from something like a day date.

Good price if the condition is good. I paid a bit more for mine.. even after some trading up at profit. And I didn't get the proper box. Way to ruin my day. :p

Good deal. Go for it. Also, the watch looks nice and not easy to find used one.

Only if you really like it. I have owned a TG Yachtmaster before and while it was nice I had no passion for the watch. The resale/trade value is low. I would take it to an AD or service center and have it verified and then decide.

I too have found the resale for the YM to be quite less than other models. There aren't many of them because they're not popular. If you want to keep it forever, then that's not important. But if you may flip it in the future, then I think you need a better price.

Do you want it, and can you afford it? We can't really answer those questions.
