My trusted ADs here in Ontario, Canada just offered me 20% off on either the Blue Dial SS Yachtmaster or the Rhodium Dial SS Yachtmaster both with Ref # 116622. The MSRP for this watch in Canada is $13,250. The total price with 13% tax in Ontario, Canada comes out to $14972.5. He is willing to offer me $11978 including the tax on both dials color. The AD will have to order it in for me since they don't have either dial colors in stock. I have a good relationship with the AD. I usually wear my watches for a few years then move on to the next model.

I noticed 2016 Rhodium Dial Yachtmaster still hold its value higher than the Blue dial. Please let me know what do you think about the price being offered to me and which dial color should I get.

Thanks in advance for all of your comments.

Good price, but buy what you like, not what you think has a better monetary return....
Blue would be my choice.

truth.

Wcdhtwn · 4 August 2017, 04:32 AM

20% off a SS Rolex is a good deal. And I agree with Sleddog, buy what you like. If I were choosing between the two blue would edge out rhodium.

sager · 4 August 2017, 04:39 AM

Rhodium is beautiful. At 20% discount I'd snatch it.

I agree its a great deal and I would pick it up but only if the watch really sings to you.

Nairn1980 · 4 August 2017, 05:30 AM

I love the YM, very classy and different.

HONDABBQ · 4 August 2017, 05:30 AM

I got 18% off for my SS. 20% is even better. No need to hesitate on the price.
I like the Rhodium but I think it would dwindle on me over time.

Al1969 · 4 August 2017, 07:04 AM

Sounds like a good deal. I think I'd go with the rhodium.

Daytonaman799 · 4 August 2017, 07:21 AM

Yachtmatser is a cool watch...basically a Luxe Submariner. I had one for a while but it didn't last. Its what u like though that matters.

beshannon · 4 August 2017, 07:34 AM

You should get what you like.

I have no opinion on dial color since I do not like the watch and I do not shop by price alone.

Are there non-trusted ADs?

WhiskeyKoffee · 4 August 2017, 08:34 AM

I love the YM blue dial with the red second hand. It's gorgeous.

Pacheco · 4 August 2017, 08:54 AM

Blue dial all the way!! But buy from a Trusted Seller instead. Resell is not too great so you may lose a lot if you buy from AD.

ap1 · 4 August 2017, 09:25 AM

I vote rhodium - wish it had black bezel though

JP Chestnut · 4 August 2017, 10:19 AM

20% isn't enough to allow you to flip without pain. It's a fine deal if you want it and a terrible one if you don't.

Not pain but you will take a bit of a loss. I bought my blue for 20% off too. That was my minimum discount.

Juantxo · 4 August 2017, 10:51 AM

Of all the watches mentioned, the only one where can see the time distinctly is the one with the blue dial. So, either you want to possibly make a few bucks buying and selling the watch or you want a watch to wear and tell time.

+1, ditto, etc. as I have trouble seeing the time on many watches.

The resale on YM is pretty hideous, except as noted on the Rhodium, but that's now - who knows what will happen in 2 years?

My advice, as always, is buy used if you can. Otherwise, buy what you want, the one you will enjoy, for you, not for the next guy.

Phudu · 4 August 2017, 11:15 AM

It was love at first sight when I saw the Blue Dial 5 years ago, but ironically I never pull the trigger. I acquired quite a few Rolex watches ever since. Now I just want to go back and acquire my first love.

Thanks for all of the great advises and the beautiful pictures of the Blue Dial. Sometimes in life, it's not all about the money, but follow what your heart tells you.

Trust me blue dial YM is a great choice!! I've traded away a GMT 16710 and a WG Daytona and the YM stayed. I can't get enough of the blue it really is perfect!! f you never trade it's not about money but if there's even a hint you may trade down the line buy smart. You can find these watches in good condition below $8K USD.

Either way buy it and enjoy it!!

Good luck!

joli160 · 5 August 2017, 01:50 AM

The blue is beautiful, but the monochrome Platinum dial is different than any other, something you really like or hate. Personally I prefer the dial of the earlier years of the 16622. You can find these in near mint condition for a steal if you don't mind buying pre owned. Anyway, the YM is an amazing watch

Ruud Van Driver · 5 August 2017, 01:58 AM

I've tried on all three variants of the SS YM and would love all of them in my collection but if only one, I'd go platinum dial. Beautiful piece and I love the way the dial sparkles. Out of the two that OP has been offered, I'd go blue.

20% off a SS sports Rolex is a miler deal

warrior · 4 August 2017, 11:21 AM

I've said this many times...the blue dial YM IMO is the most underrated watch on TRF. And people rarely mention the red lettering, which makes the blue pop even more. As someone said before, classy AND original looking piece. Very striking.

SpyShops718 · 4 August 2017, 04:58 PM

Blue dial you can get a 2008-2012 YM 16622 which has the grey/platinum dial for around 5-7k M-Series which has the rolex-rolex-rolex and put a oem blue dial for $300. I don't like the baby blue second hand, the red hand is beautiful to me.

Yorroo · 4 August 2017, 08:04 PM

Blue dial

1William · 4 August 2017, 09:00 PM

I prefer the blue dial.

VicLeChic · 4 August 2017, 10:56 PM

Not good enough. I was offered 17% off and refused. Went grey and scored 32% off. I would have accepted 25% from the AD.
