Rolex

Thank you, Walter!

 

Especially for these great pics and your interesting thoughts.

I’m not sure about the brown dial for the Root Beer. Perhaps it would loose its versatility to combine it with different styles and colours?

I agree with you according to the blue TT Sub. It looks very nice and tempting. And the colours especially of the 16613 are mesmerizing. I have tried different versions of the blue Sub several times.

But I wonder when and where I really can wear it? It’s for sure not a daily wearer. And I don’t want to spend my hard earned money on a simple „holiday watch“.

Yes, the 16622 is truly unique and an „untypical Rolex“. In particular as far as the whole appearance is concerned. Compared to your Sub you can clearly see that the case of the YM is much flatter.
What interests me: Compared to the Sub the WR of the 1662 is just 100m. But the YM has got a TripLock crown.
So I Wonder, if the 100m real or a just a marketing strategy in order to distinguish the Sub from the YM?

Yes, indeed, I feel that the YM 16622 is an excellent choice. It is a very elegant watch and reliable watch. For all cases and situations. Do you also wear it in the winter season?

Best, Thomas

Dear watch-friends, after a successful business deal in July I decided to reward myself with a new Rolex. My good resolution to enjoy watches on this beloved forum just „platonic“ from first row remaining firm and not becoming weak somehow has evaporated ...  

Here also the other pics

of the Root Beer and the Sub I didn‘t manage to upload them in the first post. Best, Thomas ...  

Yessss!!!! ☺️

 
By: MTR : July 29th, 2018-05:58
But is it a daily wearer? That‘s an essential purchasing criterion for most of my watches. Cheers, Thomas

Everything is a daily wearer. I would definitely wear it everyday. Get this or the YM.

IMHO

 
By: MTR : July 29th, 2018-16:43
the YM is more versatile and works also with a suit. So: the YM for me. Best, Thomas

Soooorrrryyyy, but I cannot stop!!

Here the fullgold version. I have some more in reserve... 🤗 I am afraid, that this will be my second reward watch in this year... 🙄 All the best, Thomas ...  

So sorry Part II

Here comes another wrist shot of the Root Beer TT, dear Rogi! ☺️ Cheers, Thomas ...  

Yes, please say thank you

 
By: MTR : July 30th, 2018-12:05
It‘s so nice and polite. 🤗 Please, believe me. I really don’t want to torture you but... it’s such a nice watch.... ☺️ Best, Thomas ...  

The Yacht-Master is a watch which will grow on you with time passing. I made the mistake to sell mine. A mistake I corrected two or three years after.

In platinum / steel, the watch was introduced in the catalog circa 1998 / 1999, if my memory serves me well. Go, my friend, go, you won't regret it. One of my very favorite modern Rolex. Best, Nicolas

Thanks a lot Nico!

Yes, I know and completely understand your special love for this YM! ☺️ Your pictures of it are very seducing.... Do you know, when the production of this model ended? Is a production year 2013 possible? Cheers, Thomas

Thank you, Nico!

 
By: MTR : July 29th, 2018-04:13
So the production year 2013 seems not realistic? Best, Thomas

Yes, indeed!

 
By: MTR : July 28th, 2018-22:23
I am not sure but it seems to me you own this model? Best, Thomas

I dont but a two close friends do

They both wear theirs as daily drivers, in every situation, and love them.

Just curious...

Do you get the 5-year warranty even though it's NOS? J

As far as I remember the AD explained to me

 
By: MTR : July 29th, 2018-03:58
that the watch was produced in 2013 and bought from another AD in 2016. So the warranty will end 2021. Can this be possible? I will have to check this before finally pulling the trigger. Best, Thomas

The Root Beer Everrose is hard to beat, but not Root Beer enough with the black dial.

The Sub 16613 is very bling-bling, much more than all other Rolex watches. For one day or two it is OK, but for a daily driver it is too much for me. The 16622 is my sommer watch, also bling-bling but not so vulgar like the 16613. It is another Submariner...  

Thank you, Walter!

Good evening Thomas!

I am a fan from the old ROOT BEER, i had a 16753 and now i have a 16758 and i think the dial also looks good in brown. I think it is not a summer color, So we come to the colors, the 16622 is a wonderfull sommer watch, the steel is so brigth in the sun, t...  

Dear Walter,

 
By: MTR : July 29th, 2018-16:31
the pictures of your Root Beer are breathtaking. For me a complete other league! This case and dial and colours for sure add up to a watch which is timeless and elegant and „chic“. IMO you can wear your mesmerizing Rot Beer at any time in any situation wi... 

Go get it. You will love it..........

I bought my Girlfriend one for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. Grey being her favourite colour does help. On the odd occasion I’m allowed to wear it I love it also. Just so different to everything else and so much nicer than the new Yacht master... 

Thanks a lot, Miles_151!

 
By: MTR : July 29th, 2018-04:15
I think, this colour goes nearly with everything. It’s extremely versatile. Which case size did you choose? Best, Thomas

Yes! 😀

 
By: MTR : July 29th, 2018-04:08
I studied Jocke’s disassembling and tuning post (changing to red date!) several times since Friday. Cheers, Thomas

A fantastic image!

Sorry for my poor wrist shot. But my hands were trembling... 😋
