Icon20 How about some Blue Dial Yachtmaster 116622 pictures please!

Saw this model at an AD near me in PA last week. Boy is it gorgeous. Rolex definitely makes some of the nicest blue dials I have ever seen!

So let's see 'em!

Interesting that nobody has responded to this. Not many blue YM purchases on the forum? AM.

Glad you responded. I am waiting for a local AD to get one in for me any time now to view. I have been told it is lovely in real life and that photos don't do it justice. I love the YM range, both Is and IIs. AM.

Just saw this watch yesterday, and I really liked it. There seems to be a lot of people who don't like YM's, not sure why. I thought this one was beautiful.

I wonder how I would feel about a blue dial in 10 years ...

I've never owned one for 10 years. Let me know how you feel in 10 years if you make it that long with one.

Well, I've had my current Rolex (very generous gift from my uncle) since 1997 or so, and I still wear it nearly every day. So, 10 years doesn't seem like long.

I've had two and not bonded with either for some reason. I almost bought a third to try again, but instead my grey dealer had a Sunburst blue Sub in which I bought instead.

Price plummets from new, so buy wisely.
