I recently saw the first TT YM in person during Christmas season. I must say, like their cousin the SS/plat ones, it is hard to catch their real beauty in a pic. In person that watch looks fantastic but it seems to loose something in a pic, same with the SS/plat. I know JJ is a good photographer and I enjoy his great photos, just an observation. =) maverick

Have to agree 100% with what you just said, Dennis. I'm a so-so photographer, but even the best pics of this baby fail to bring out its real beauty...the true beauty you can enjoy only if you hold it in the "flesh".

I'm not a fool to have given up my beloved TT Blue Sub for this one, unless this one really drove me wild at the time. The BLUE dial is the best IMHO from the 4 available colours - white, champagne, grey and blue.

Striking!

Wow is that striking! Love the full size YM.

I'll loan you my arm for a few months so you can safely store it..... I promise to give her plenty of sunlight and beer.

Gold! then why chrome steel?

Hey JJ
Fantastic photo's of your Argent YM

I have a question:

Why would a guy who owns a beautiful Rolex Yatch Master EVER want to own a BREITLING??:

Steve, the answer is easy. JJ is crazy.

If you look closely in JJ's pix, the trained eye can easily pic up the mistakes the manufacturer of that fake Chinese TT YM. There are about 7-8 glaring mistakes to my trained eye. I'd list them online, but I don't want to give the manufacturers of these shoddy fakes ammo to improve their 'product'.

JJ, get a genuine YM, why don't you?

You can tell its a phony from the close up of the bezel ring. Look how pitted it is. No real Rolex would come off the line with that kind atrocious QC.

JJ, get rid of that POS and don't ever post pics of a Chinese copy again or you will be banned for life.

No, it won't. (Tossers). I do like gold in a watch but in a different way. I once had a gold (vermeil, gold on a silver case) Cartier Tank with a crocodile strap. Now that's what I like.

Well, Steve, I don't see anything wrong with this beauty in SS "bling" considering I paid only US$2,400 for it....when I know for a fact that it's priced much higher on the net!! The Breitling does hold its own charm and flash!!

I must say I've had the oppertunity to put the TT YM on at my ADs,and it is a truly stunning watch.

A couple of observations:

The dial seems to have the ability to change "hues" if you will from Blue to almost Black depending on how the light strikes.

The watch seems to fit a little lower on the wrist,very very comfortable.

JJ, I would take this in a New York second over the TT Sub.

Oh,and I can't get over how STRONG some of those sales people can get when they want to pry a watch out of your hands!!

Our hair chalenged friend doesn't need ideas I'm affraid. But I must admit that the close-ups of the Breitling looked good. And I also must admit that I'm not a Breitling fan, alas.
