because the air ticket and the hotel booking is arranged long time ago. ...

A milestone in the universe of modern Rolex, in my opinion. [nt]

Yes and we will get another milestone too, 20 years in Basel. 👍🍺 [nt]

Congrats! As for the Yachtmaster, wasn't its 20th birthday ( in steel platinum ) this year? [nt]

Yes that is correct, 1999 was the release year of the 16622. [nt]

While 1992 was the year of the yellow gold version, wasn't it? It always surprised me that so many years separated these two versions. [nt]

Yes that is correct and the laser logo was introduced in 1999 at YM and Daytona. [nt]

Thanks for the confirmation, Jocke. [nt]

Mmm, one of Rolex's best watches. But ... but ... there's something ... well ... er ... odd about it. Is that a reflection from the seconds hand onto the date wheel? [nt]

Over here we call it a personal touch. 🤣🤣 [nt]

By: Jocke - Bad Santa : December 15th, 2019-15:39

;) And a well chosen one! [nt]
