Exactly 10 years ago...

...I bought my 116618LB. I never thought about buying a YG watch before I actually tried it on. Back then, I never thought it could be a reference I could wear daily. I was wrong and I still love it after all these years.

Still looks beautiful after 10 years. I never thought I’d like a watch with any gold in it, but love my TT Wimbledon, so I know where you are coming from. It looks great on you.

May it keep on ticking for years to come :) I bet it definitely went through a lot with you for a decade.

Not gonna lie, I would prefer this blue and gold Sub over a black Sub. More unique and beautiful than the black one in my honest opinion (as much as I love black Sub). Would get this one if I had a chance.

Never was a gold guy but last year for my 50th I bought myself a YG DD 40.
Now my only regret is I waited so long to get a gold watch on a bracelet.
Still not a TT guys at all....
