The YM was a PRIVATE sale - the owner stating (on another forum) that he was going for a GRAIL watch - said everything in his collection might be up for sale - and I wasn't even the first to ask... Highest offer dropped out and there I was...

ALBA (love the watch) was a fluke - going to a Japanese site (zoovy?) looking for a Seiko tunacan - and still still trying to fill the YM hole in my collection at that time. I spent almost as much on YM substitutes (Oceanaut Acqua Mariner and ALBA as on the YM. I haven't a clue on the value of the ALBA LE. I think they have all been sold (1-999). Paid $218 for a very heavy watch (212 gr) with a sapphire crystal and a 7S26 with the crown at 3 o'clock... powder blue outlined hands make this a unique watch - ALBA's first mechanical. Comes in a LE box similar to the YM.

 

Oh yeah- you can never have enough yellow dial
