The bezel on the YM2 screams used car dealer. I'd get a white-gold Daytona with MOP dial or maybe another date-just with an off-beat/unique dial.

I love Breguet. With all due respect to the Rolex collection - which is awesome - the Breguet is in another league. That's why it is so ironic that it is the one needing a repair.

I have been angling for a Grande Complication Breguet for about 8 years now. You could buy a nicely appointed Scuderia for the price of that watch! But worth every penny.

I agree...the Rolexes are great for what they are..I do really like them (obviously)...

I think a couple of comments just killed the YM II which frankly I really didn't like the first time I saw it.. Guess I'll try one on again but it's on thin ice...

That is a fantastic collection. IMHO, it does need a few stainless, white face peices to round it out. The YMII is something like 25-30k. You could pick up a SS/White face Daytona for 10-12k and also pick up a Silver face/SS datejust with a roman numeral face and jubilee band and still have enough left over for a Chopard Gran Turismo which has a similar "sporty" look to the YMII. That would round out your collection nicely!!!!

White face Daytona is also on the short list as well as this...if I find the right deal on it..
