It looks great so don’t think twice!
I went for the TT because I felt that is a bit too heavy for my liking and especially after years and years of steel Rolex on my wrist.. but every-time I see one YG bluesy I just find it so tempting

It is my view that you might miss the watches you unload to get that YG Sub once it stops singing to you.

Just like you miss the Smurf you unloaded earlier.

So many of these choices are wrapped up in our “emotional DNA”. If you tend to be nostalgic in general then never unload another watch to get the new one you want. Save up if you don’t have the cash on hand.

But if you can break the habit of horological lamentation, then that YG Sub is spectacular. The two you mentioned unloading for it would not be missed by me.

I get the uniqueness of what you do have, and ideally, it’s best not to trade watches for other watches in my opinion, but wearing a PM Rolex, especially this one will make you not think of the others as much. But if you actively wear those other pieces I would not trade them in.


Only trade in a watch that doesn’t do it for you anymore and you do not wear.

Good luck, I would buy it, I really like mine.

I’m getting a lot of mileage out of this pick lately.

It’s a beauty for sure, but for me flipping watches usually leads to regret. If at all possible I’d try to add unless you’ve totally lost the love for the others.

Also, if for some reason this one doesn’t sing to you a year or two from now, you’ll take a bigger hit being that it’s PM, (assuming you are buying new)

Beautiful watch. I love this one and the white gold version. I think the blue dial YG blows the black dial YG out of the water.

I’m pleased to report back on this thread.

Pulled the trigger on the Sub and it sure is a stunner. Super pleased with the deal and my AD for making it happen during the shut down.

If you're lusting after it after more than one visit, I say you are good to go. That's how I base my decisions. Hasn't failed me yet.
