..just got mine. That watch is a stunner!
Will take me some time to get used to the bright dial. Don't like the cyclops a lot, too much used to the gen GMT Master II cyclops I guess.

Here are some pictures, next to her gen brother.

[MENTION=114500]wollerau[/MENTION] your watches are beautiful.

What year is your GMT? As a fellow TC owner, I have all three now I'm very pleased with his product , I do notice the Rehaut is deeper on the TC YM compared to your GMT I wonder if this is a flaw that would be noticed next to a genuine YM... Also dont they hang people in Switzerland for owning a Replica?

@Trasher Thank you! They didn't hang me, yet. Most of the people in CH just don't care about watches at all, except for these Tissots they get as a graduation gift. I see the most rollies and swiss chocolate when I'm abroad.
My GMT II is from 2006. Didn't realize the rehaut differences - but hey, we're comparing apples with pears here. Would be nice to see a comparison with a gen 16622.

My TC YM has been stuck at "Pre-Shipment" for a few days. :cryingbadly:

Maybe I will get lucky and get it before Christmas.

Ive been waiting for someone to post a TC YM.. Seems like every other post on this forum is check out my new sub, or new TC sub pics, or sub sub sub... lol..
I was starting to think that nobody was ordering the YM!!

Watch looks great in the pics, may I ask what you don't like about the Cyclops? AR?
Also, when did you order yours, just out of curiosity, I ordered one on Nov 24th and its been sitting in pre-ship!!!

Lastly, an issues with turning the bezel at all? Ive read all the complaints on the TC sub tight bezel/push down and turn issue..

Thanks

Even though I put it on sale soon, there is nothing I don't like in this watch!!:hypnotized:

I was too anal about the cyclops. It is close to perfect. Was just a combination of the two following effects that somehow didn't make it feel right.
First, the white of the DW is much brighter than lume, dial white etc. But that is actually a gen feature! But seemed weird to me.
Second, maybe due to the higher rehaut (at least compared to my gen GMT Master II) the magnified date doesn't stay as long in the center when tilting the watch, it moves a bit faster out of the center - totally anal, almost feeling ashamed..

WU payment 6. November. Got her last week.

The watch is awesome - couldn't be better! Just don't expect a gen bezel turn feel, will check for any bezel/push down issues but didn't notice anything yet.

Ordered mine about 10-15 calendar days before yours. It has been sitting in pre-ship for about a week.

Will a B25-295-CAR-C1 crystal fit this watch, or does the YM require another crystal?
