Vintage for me! Maybe that's why I like my BB so much :o

That's the thing. It's cheap enough to consider, and that's a dangerous thing.

I can already foresee that I will like one more than the other and wear it more often, but in the scheme of things, it will ultimately still receive limited wrist time in the rotation.

So cheap isn't so cheap.

I'm considering eventually having a snzh55 modern fff mod, snzh57 vintage fff mod.. and a BB mod..

:(

ok time to break combo and dig out a previous beater. i know many don't like titanium as it picks up scratches easily (but is easily polished off too). but i love it for its rugged finish/patina which matches the tobacco dial perfectly.

titanium is also more resistant to "edge-dings" compared to steel, due to its superior hardness, which will be seen over time.

and unlike steel titanium feels "warmer" to touch so is much more comfortable on hot humid days.

What I find inaccurate is the dial looks bigger than usual, and the thickness of the bezel thinner than usual, making it more proportionate than it really is.

Just compare the pics of the same watch on this page. The one I posted looks a lot busier although it's exactly the same combo.

Look closely and you will realize it is photoshopped. Notice that the bezel is much sharper/more defined than rest of the photo.

Your wrist is huge enough

This is really a contrast and don't look like rolex watch. Very different

actually this was the first rolex that had me looking at the brand seriously. I still remember the recurring advertisement they had on the huge screen while dining at swisscafe. because I feel the other rolexes were a bit small so this one at 44mm caught my attention, even before the TT blue sub.

but after a while i wasnt that keen anymore because it didnt look like a rolex...... the "yachtmaster II" words on the bottom of the bezel and the layout of the dial feel that it wouldn't last the test of time.

Thats the rolex style. Every model name is written on the dial. 'Deep sea sea dweller' should be the rolex with most "text" all over.. i think...

Hehe nice shot. Bro did u manage to change to rubber strap on your own? Been looking to do it without going to RSC or the AD .

Yes. Changed it to the rubber then bought a zulu strap. Wore for a week and finally decided that the bracelet is still the best.
