Thanks, Abel, for taking the time to explain
Out of curiosity, I stopped by the Rolex AD at the airport where I'm at now and you're indeed spot on. The new iteration is the 116622, with differences in both the movement and case. This somehow looks larger than the fine specimen that you have. My confusion lies in the fact that they have this new model in both the blue and the grey platinum dial, which of course, in my very limited knowledge of some of Rolex's line up, I was not aware of.
You're making me want to speed up the search and acquisitions through my current wish list to get to this YM now. Enjoy yours.
Enviously,
Richard

End of another hunt... sharing the happiness of a new catch...
I guess this is another catch which I have to blame my dear friend Nicolas for opening my eyes to this reference 16622. As a matter of fact, I had never paid much attention to this model till I read the coments and viewed the fantastic pictures of our Vla...
Abel....
.....congratulations to you....and yes, I think you have been Vlad'd without any doubt!!!
Thank you Joe! Yes I know vampires have great dark powers!...
... I have experimented that previously with the 1655 and GMT´s. As a matter of fact, I feel you have felt in love with your beautiful 6542 because of Vlad´s influence! We have to be cautious!! He may be hearing us!! :))) Best cordial regards, Abel.
My favorite Rolex...
Until the last two years, this is the only Rolex that I like! Superb acquisition. I still see a number of these selling at the boutiques as recent as this morning...perhaps you can enlighten me on the differences? Congratulations! I'm sure this will bring...
Thank you Richard for your kind comments and I am glad...
... that you like this model. This watch has the reference 16622 and was discontinued, I guess a couple of years ago, when it was replaced by reference 116622 which is basically the same watch with a few changes in its movement, and a new beautiful blue d...

My pleasure Richard! Always nice to "speak" about our watches...
... with a colleague of passion! You are right about the dial. I had thought that the new YM was only offered with blue dial, but I checked the Rolex page and as your AD said, the option to the silver dial is still available. The bracelet clasp is of the ...
Welcome to the Yachtmaster Club, Captain Dexter.
You will see, with time passing, you will love some great détails of this Watch more and more... A subtile appeal. But a fatal charm. Bravo, my friend. Very happy for you! Un fuerte abrazo. Nicolas
Oh my God! I knew about Transilvanian vampires and about a...
... Parisian one! But never heard about British and Swedish vampires!! Can´t think what they could do when they arrange a gathering!! Guess I will take more garlic with me to Milan and Paris! Hope to see you soon my dear Nicolas!!
Thank you my friend! I was sure you would approve and share...

Yes Nicolas, I will. I´m trying to arrange something to be able to meet there...
... will be sending you a PM. Un abrazo.
Nice catch indeed
Abel- its funny you bring up this post because I had a similar experience. I too never paid much attention to this model until a friend of a friend had one at dinner in Munich. I asked him to see it and it really took me by surprise. I am not into modern ...
Hi Edmond! Thank you so much for your kind comments...
... and good wishes. Glad to know you had a similar experience. I have learned now after several timepieces of which I said "not for me" that I should never say never again, and look at them on the flesh and on my wrist before making my head about them. W...
Thank you Bill! Yes I will take more care of Vlad bites now!!...
... since by now three references fevers I got were instilled by him! :)) ... But this danger will not take me away from the pleasure of meeting him again!! Have a nice week end Bill! Very cordially, Abel.
Apart from nice catch
I like how you managed to catch yet another dimension of this watch in your signature style picture Bravo on both counts Sincerely Damjan
Thank you for your kind words dear Damjan!!...
... I wish I´ll be able to take some better pictures this week end. That was just a quick I Phone shot just to share my excitement for the new catch. I´m happy to know you liked the quick photo taken in haste and with bad office light, but anyway it shows...
Another member in the YM gang !
it's a really cool watch ! I'm having a lot of fun with it... ...
Thank you Jeff!! So nice to know you are also fan of this fine timepiece!...
It looks so cool on that red set of straps! That is an sporty and casual touch for an elegant watch! Keep enjoying!! Cordial regards, Abel.
