First Rolex!

I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a Yacht Master 116622. I’ve been eyeing this for a while but was afraid this and a Sub would be too similar, but since that watch wasn’t forthcoming and this was available, no brainer. Can’t believe how good it looks on wrist.

You’re going to love this. That dial is beautiful and the red accents are a nice touch.

Now that I look at it on the computer, I'm embarrassed about my ear print on the crystal! I was listening to the ticking and noticed an almost musical chime to it compared to my tudor. Either way, didn't clean it before showing it!

What a great purchase, welcome to the Rolex family. You sure got a great start.

That is a beautiful watch with a gorgeous dial (not that your picture helped any LOL)... it is very comfy on the wrist and size/weight is just perfect.

Please go ahead and edit your post, remove your picture and replace with Laszlo's above. No one will notice!

Congratulations, a great watch.
Maybe you should call it the Chicagomaster.

Congrats.

Just got one last week and couldn’t be happier with it.

It’s so comfortable and so beautiful to look at.

One of the best looking modern pieces. Criminally underrated.

I had one and kind of wish I still did. I didn’t wear it very often. I used it as my dress watch. They are stunning. Enjoy it!
