A new 18K Yachtmaster I presume? If so then get that...

25K for a used YM II is far to much.

If your spending that kind of money I'd get the YM 2 if it were me.

I don't think you'll ever lose on a YM II.
Do you race sailboats?

I always thought the Yachtmaster II was pretty cool.

I'd have to agree with this man, you'll not loose on a used YM II. Go for it!

YM. Much simpler. Design. YM II has too much going on.

Pre-owned YM II in YG but if its too big for your wrist then its probably not a good look.
