P4GTR Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Lets see what some of you are doing with your YM's other than the brushed/polished bracelets. Post some pics! This might not be to everyones taste. But its on my wrist today and got me thinking... I'd like to see it on brown leather.
alligoat Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Interesting idea. I just got the Trusty 'noob' special last month- a YM w/ the white dial, black onyx markers http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...roducts_id=1714 Maybe I'll throw a brown croc strap on it and see what it looks like!
Maxim Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Brown leather would really suit it, I think too.

alligoat Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 It's not that common. I guess it's a variation of the one that's in the full gold YW w/ the gold surrounds and black onyx markers. But certainly the Rolesium is the most popular YM. Saw one a DeMesy's for $6K. I was going to get this Charles Hubert 3514-WW to wear as a beater- miyota 8215 movt, 100m WR, for a little over $100, it's a knock-off of the YM. But then I saw Trusty's 'newbie' and changed my mind. http://www.amazon.com/Charles-Hubert-Paris...25&sr=1-173 I did buy the Chas Hubert 3514 in full gold (plate) just to see how long the gold would hold up- same Miyota, lifetime guarantee??. I really like the Miyota and wish we could find it in reps.

I really like the Miyota and wish we could find it in reps. Saw a few YM's this weekend, same as my noobYM- think they were close to $10K. Its crazy because as beautiful as the watch is, it almost immediately lost its appeal once I owned it. I spent $100, imagine the buyers remorse adding 00's to that price. So how did the gold hold up?
alligoat Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Gold plate has held up well so far. BTW, I have the YM rep in full gold w/ the white dial and black markers. It's doing fine also. But when it comes to yard work, saltwater fishing or the gym, I stick with SS.
