I agree 100% and there is more.

If you wear the watch you see how flat is this watch for a Rolex, it could be a AP RO too (but it is the better watch). 40,83mm x 11,57mm near to the golden cut 4 : 1.

You ever took a link of the bracelet out ? There is not only a srew in every link like in the Submariner. Every link had a tube in the hole and in this tube comes the srew.

The YM is my July, August watch, she shines brigth like a diamond in the sun. The steel of Rolex is so white, whiter than the paltinum bezel. How they do this?

The combination of steel and platinum is unique in the watch world.

The Grey Appeal of the Rolex Yacht-Master 16622.

By: amanico : July 22nd, 2018-14:58

A picture I took today of a watch I consider as one of the five best modern Rolex. The red touch makes the big difference and all the charm of this Yacht-Master. Different from what we are used to see when it comes to he Submariner, discrete, elegant. Wha...

Monolithic with just a touch of colour. Simple and true to oneself. Thanks for showing. I like the texture on this version more than my 116622 [nt]

Yes, like a piece of abstract art. It takes time to appreciate it for what it is. But once you understand it... Thanks, sidtang. [nt]

I have been considering this one many times in the past, mainly when I still thought that I could live with only one watch

By: 1WatchMan : July 22nd, 2018-21:50

But every time I tried it on, it didn't sign to me for some reason, maybe a bit cold for my taste. Anyway, a great modern Rolex, no question. Thanks for another beautiful picture!

I think this is the kind of watch which requires some time to be fully appreciated. [nt]

By: amanico : July 23rd, 2018-02:04

Exactly! Very well said. [nt]

And in my case, I had to let my first Yacht Master go to understand how much I liked it. This one is my 2d, and I own it since 2008! [nt]

Ten year old love, that's true love! 😉

By: 1WatchMan : July 23rd, 2018-06:10

The Yacht-Master is a model I love, but for some reason never bought. Your version didn't sign to me in person, but I did fall in love with the blue dial and with the R-Oysterflex when they both came out. But again, other ones won the pole position and it...

Yes, I won't let this one go easily... ;) [nt]

By: amanico : July 23rd, 2018-06:13

It's never easy to let a watch go

By: 1WatchMan : July 23rd, 2018-06:18

I've just done and it's really painful 😭

Most often, yes. [nt]

By: amanico : July 23rd, 2018-06:19

I bought mine in 2008 as well, I prefer to wear it before my GMT II or sub. This one grows on you over time. [nt]

By: Ivan5 : July 23rd, 2018-07:20

It definitely plays another partition, a chic partition, I must say. [nt]

I agree 100% and there is more.

To be able to take this picture, I just remove the bracelet from the folding buckle. Yes, this is a very good summer watch, which needs some sun to reveal all its beauty! [nt]

By: amanico : July 23rd, 2018-02:06

IIRC When introduced the 16622 MSRP was more than SS Daytona and two-tone Sub !?!....lot of influx in Rolex prices since. [nt]

By: redcorals : July 23rd, 2018-05:12

Good question! It was introduced, in this version, in what? 1998, 1999? In the grey market, it was the same price, at that time. It was even rarer than a Steel Daytona.

By: amanico : July 23rd, 2018-06:12

Then, from 2002, you started to find here and there, it was much easier to find than the steel Daytona. But the retail was very close, if not slightly above the Steel Daytona Zenith 16520. Best, Nicolas
