That's the noob with 3135- Winds smooth as silk, super quiet rotor, keeping perfect time. I know with 500-600% magnifications it is not IDENTICAL to the genuine article, but seems like a quality piece.

Nah- I just know myself- I go out and drop big money on a breitling I've been lusting after and then after two weeks never wear it again- and it's a $6K brick sitting in the watch box. A lot more fun to grab a bunch of $300 reps and see which ones I really bond with. Done this a bunch of times- went from the rep to the gen on so many watches, and some other I wore the rep a few times and never looked at it again. The YM is a nice combination of Sub wearability with a little bit more class- I like it!

I'll have to get myself one of these. It'll be my first watch. Been looking for over a year and I keep coming back to this one. Seriously, I don't even need a 10000:10000, I need something I can enjoy be proud of. Which TD did it come from?

True that. I've been here for a while.now and noticed that some people just never stop nitpicking over the smallest details. I like the analysis, in a way that you get a prior warning about any serious faults, but the small ones, meh. Being an anal asshole will never make you happy with any rep.

Still hunting for the YM atm, found 1 dealer who got one for sale, problem is neither he or his employees knew shit about the different makers and engines, and from the pale blue seconds hand I could tell it's a JF, damn...

It has a great quality asian clone that reported "swiss made" and strange words and incabloc!

I have the same movement. Noticed it looked different from my other clones when I was adjusting my dial.

Hmm recessed sel.this makes no sense perhaps the 2824 cases have the lug holes drilled in the correct position. And the 3135 cases not.?or perhaps the bracelet on the 3135 version is different to the 2824 version.as the 3135 version the sel is not recssed

I have noticed that all the YM with Eta clone seem to have this movement.

To be a clone is very well done. I have examined it and finished very well. This is much more of a standard normal clone as regards the quality.



Take a pic like lukko from the side if you want to show flush vs recessed sel.the front pic is useless in that aspect


I will check the another one with 2824 that i've at home and then i'll let u know if has the same Sel.



The ym is not close to being as good as I originally thought http://i.

The crown at 12 on the noob ym sucks also see the prominant r on the noob rehaut engraving you can't unsee it noob made a mess of the rehaut on the ym[/QUOTE]


Wow! I had not thought to create such a noise when I exposed the problem of the "R" in reahut LOL :) he he he

Lol was you the one that exposed this issue ha ha.the crown font is ridiculous aswell .thing is once you see the r issue u can't unsee it even on the wrist and I'm not anal about these things.the sel issue is the main problem really though for these .seem not all have that problem.I fixed the sel on mine so it looks same as gen.but for people that can't fix it it's not good

Yep buddy, I'm not a YM fan in general, but i really like this, so to me the R and Sel do not bother me :)

Anyway i took the pictures in two different models, both with A2824 buddy. They have different Sel: one to a recess, the other not. That's strange lol


That's the other one that i've at home, not recessed:

And these are pictures compared the new one just received (still wrapped) and mine (unwrapped)

So your older one is not recessed and the newer one is recessed? Here we go again.noob must be using different sel on some .can you remove both bracelets and compare the sel of the recssed one vs the sel of the flush one.
