So you want a Yacht Master - TC, Clean, ARF, Noob, BP, Custom, and VSF

[CaptainRep]

I'm not much of a dresser type. Wife always said that I'm too rough around the edges and unpolished.

There are occasions when I need to put on a tie and I find the Yacht Master fits those situations well, dressy with a touch of I-don't-belong-in-this-crowd vibe.

I'll be doing a comparison between these: TC 5 digit, newly arrived Clean, ARF, Noob, BPF, custom build, and VSF.

While I do realize that most people want to know how Clean compares to ARF, allow me to go through each model as there are some merits that may interest you.

This will be a long running thread. I'm real short on time and I'll be posting pictures when I can. If you want me to post certain pics of certain models, do post up your request and I will try my best to accommodate.

Clean vs ARF

Clean vs ARF

Note the round hour marker size difference - CLEAN got it right.

You're referring to the 6 and 9 hour markers, KJ?

 

[CaptainRep]

Alright, let's get the easy ones out of way first.

There are two watches on the list that easily qualified as must-get.

The first one is the TC Yacht Master 16622

If you see this watch on someone who is a tenth of your size, immediately annex the watch. It is yours.

No, all the round ones bro. ARF came out with the 37mm Yachti well before the 40mm. It's been said that their dial maker continued using the smaller round markers. Gen 5 digit 40mm also has smaller round markers.

Gen 16622 vs gen 116622

ARF 37 and 40 vs gen 40

Very interesting! I currently have the BP Yachtmaster. The new one from Clean has been ordered.

ARF 37 and 40 vs gen 40

You are correct bro.

Both of these are from ARF, notice the size of the round hour markers.

All stock TC YM.

TC made some of the most incredible 5-digit models. Here is his 16610LN with gen bezel and crystal.

Sorry man, didn't have time to post the last time.

But, to follow up with your question and continue with this thread, the second got-to-have is the VSF YM 226659
