wiseguy1481 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hey guys, I know we all love different opinion and reviews based on the different watches that we all love. We all know that the TC Sub is the best sub out there (in my opinion). I just purchased a BK YM from another member on the forum with a GEN crystal and GEN crown/tube. I must say that I am overall very pleased with the quality of the work on this BK YM. For having a number of superfranken watches this BK YM really is a nice watch. The only issues/concern I have with this watch is the bracelet and clasp. The TC V3 bracelet is very well constructed and fits the Sub perfectly. The BK YM bracelet is a 7 out of 10 for me. I think there could be a lot better quality and fitment to the case..... So now I am in search of a better bracelet to really make this thing pop. Here are a few pics just for fun and comparison. Again, this is not comparing SUB for SUB but better yet the overall quality of the TC build and a BK YM build... and.... my opinion: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceocorona Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I ditched the YM clasp in favor of a SS Daytona/GMT clasp. I haven't looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 The other problem with the YM is- no Superlume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Are you aware that the SELs on YM protrude over the lugs on the gen? YM doesn't have similar SELs as the classic Submariner and GMT Master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I've always felt the TC sub bracelet links and end links were top notch but that the clasps in all versions were terrible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 What's terrible about them? The coronet on my WM9 Sub is actually much sharper than the coronet on my gen 16710. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'll second what By-Tor just said. I have the same BK YM and also just picked up a BK WM9 YM and the bracelet, clasp, and coronet are crisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
