Icon5 Upcoming Yachtmaster

Does anyone know if there are any plans to start putting the blue hairspring in the Yachtmaster (I realize the YII already has one).

that would probably take it up to £8k which is a bit steep...

The current ref. 16622 is a stunning watch

As soon as Rolex becomes self sufficent in escapement parts the complete new watch line up will have the in-house hairspring.But no big deal either way as the Nivarox ones and been working well in Rolex watches for the past 40 odd years.

The clasp definitely need an update. And when they do that, I will need an update to my paycheck too.
