DO IT!!! Great watch!!!
Alex *son* and I are in to watches.... in our own minor little way....
I first got a Baume Mercier for a wedding gift from my loverly bride in 1979 -- then got a Submariner (two tone blue bezel and face) in 1989 when we were in St Thomas scuba diving for our 10th anniversary -- Then an all gold version (blue face/bezel) for our 20th in 1999 -- then a Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed Carbon Green for Xmas this year (my everyday "rubber" watch) - and this new one for my 65th B'day.... I've wanted the Yacht-Master for a long time - but while I'll buy myself a new engine at the drop of the hat -- I'm not good at "self gifting" stuff -- so I put that kind of stuff "off".... I'm lucky Alex is a good shopper with Gwen's blessing (and bank account). HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. I have a "couple" others I wear once in awhile -- a U Boat Chimera Steel 46mm.... picked up in Monaco when we did the 75th Grand Prix there..... It's so big on my wrist I have to add training wheels when wearing it. And a Chopard that is - of course - car related - since it is a Mille Miglia in Rosso Corsa (matched the paint on the '32 Highboy). I love that watch - but they're really not very good watches...
I'm sure there are a lot of guys here, that are in to watches.... They're fun! And there's so so many of them! OMG.
