Anyone got a blue faced Yachty?

[ecain63]

And i don't mean a sailor who's been out in the cold too long!

Missus likes the idea of me having a blue Yachtmaster after the father in law went and bought a new blue / bi-metal Sub today. Anyone got one and looking to sell? I know Yeti had one until recently. Dunno why she so suddenly wants me to have one. Could she be loading me up for asset strippage?

there's one for trade on TZUK at the moment, might be worth a try to see whether he'll sell instead

[ecain63]

Thanks mate. Iconic have one too which is handy.

Edited to add: im not a tz member and can't be bothered to write 50 random posts. Any idea what he's asking?

He's saying £6k trade value and it's an 116622. Looks to be in very good condition

[ecain63]

Many thanks. Sounds about right money.

Lovely thing but too bling for my taste, so quickly flipped.

Too bling? Not that baby. It's a thing of beauty.

Utterly beautiful, I had it's predecessor. Only drawback was constantly worrying about dinking that massively expensive bezel as they cannot be polished.

Being a jeweller Im not too fussed on dinking it. Easily rectified so long as its not too heavy a dent.

Can you laser/add metal to platinum?

[ecain63]

Yeah ww can add metal to platinum. Not a fan of laser welding as its only a surface joint. We work with torch welding equipment that gives a full depth joint.

Most, if not all of us don't have that facility. When I was trying to sell my Yachtmaster, the first question from the dealers was always: Has the bezel been damaged. They would all have turned it down or significantly reduced any offer if it had.

I imagine trying to return that design of bezel, with it's varying finishes and details, to anything like original would be very challenging indeed.

That said, it's a lovely, lovely classy piece.
