Can you help me make a decision?

why don't you buy both and sell off the submariner you like less on your wrist
both are nice watches and the preference between the 5 digit and 6 digit sub is a matter of personal taste

I'm not a SUB fan. I definitely will pick up the YM blue dial.

Two irrefutable FACTS:
1. YMs are for rich posers
2. Submariners are for Real Men (TM)
If you base your decision on these actual, empirically verifiable FACTS, you can't go wrong.

I don't agree.

If you want a real diver watch, you buy SD 43.
If you want the most recognized watch in the world you buy SUB.

If you want something different, funny and it is not seen every day...so you buy YM.

Unfortunately you can't argue with FACTS slashdotcom.*

SD43s are bought by giant people who think a Submariner is a girl's watch.
Submariners are bought by people who don't realise or don't care that no one in the world recognises them or even takes the slightest bit of notice what watch they're wearing except for other watch nerds. So "most recognised watch in the world" equates to 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the population.
I would agree about the "funny" aspect of the YM - but specifically the YM II, which is the funniest thing I've seen for ages.

*Also - please don't take me too seriously. I'm a clueless idiot. ;)

I feel the sub being a tool watch can be worn easier than the YM11. Last time I owned a YM11 I was always asked “ that your vessel in the harbor” lol. Never been asked “ is that your yellow submarine” when I wear subs or divers. Just wear what you like and suits you best.

When in doubt get both .... or get neither!

Since you can't go in the water with these since they are a rep there is no need for a diver.

So if you want the sports watch look get a nice GMTII -always useful to be able to the time in Timbuktu, Katmandu and at home at one glance- or DJ/OP instead

did you order the 5 digit sub you stated in your first post
what exactly does not match versus the QC pics and what is horrible
have you emailed them with your findings that you did not receive the watch shown in the QC pics
