An expensive toy tending to go against what "a purist in me" would dismiss normally, but back then a DNA of a boy, full of jest, roared over a reason, hence the result. It's gorgeous, nevertheless..

I feel even more extremely fortunate than I thought (at the time) I had the opportunity to buy this WG YM about a year ago from an AD... chose ultimately the DS Cameron, the colors just killed me lol... but I LOOOOVE this YM. Congrats and enjoy!!!!

Yachtmasters was always my thing, I was wearing my 116622 last couple of months and didn't feel like taking it off. I bought it "hungover" in 2009 during Oktoberfest, next to Hofbrauhaus in Munich. Never looked back, just grew on me...lol

15 months, that is huge. I saw a yachtmaster in a store. I belief it was an used yachtmaster.

Interesting story. Visit AD’s, grey market traders, watch collectors. When i start my journey in 2018 - April, i met the world. I saw the yachtmaster this year in the shop of a grey market trader. The famous models on stock. It is a gamble, and trust is a delicate thing. They got several Hulks, and a 116610LV used they ask around €13000. I think it is better to be on a waiting list of an AD with a good name be an excellent Rolex AD. At this time i am looking for a certain Longines. Not an expens

Just a plain, but a wee bit complicated character who can come across as a Queens mobster wannabe with keeping his secrets intact lol..
