Hi! I am in the market to purchase a yacht-master (same as posted in the picture above). Not planning to do any mods to it. Which would you recommend me to purchase? I see them ranging from 348 USD to 458 USD on Intime. What would be the main differences between the one to 358 and the one to 458?

Start by eliminating all the non-ETA movements, unless you are planning to Franken it with gen parts.

Mine is the Noob 2824, not a bit of trouble in 6 months, keeps excellent time. VRF model looks good too, others have been happy with that. Either of those would be a good choice IMO. Ryan and Toro are both great TD's.

I finally got my first two replicas from sead. the sub is perfect.

Unfortunately, the arf yacht master 2 37 mm in grey seems to be broken. the bezel turns in both directions and does not click when turning.

does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance

Yacht-Master bezels are supposed to be like that! It's a timing bezel and not a diver's watch. Enjoy it, your watch is fine!

This is my first yatchmaster. Really happy with it. Feels very light but not sure what the real one feels like.
nice and fast from dealer and got a little travel pocket with it to keep it safe

I just ordered my first YM from Sead, I’ll have to get used to it being light because I am sure it’s lighter than my daily wearer, DSSD.
