YM 116622 surprised me!

This watch has never even been on my radar and I would go as far to say I am not a yacht-master fan

Until now!!!

Picked one up on a great deal as I was a little bored with the usual wearers and it hasn't been off the wrist and I can't stop looking at it 😃 it's totally awesome

I will post pics when back at him with my pc

Advice to all - give the 116622 a go

Congrats. YM is a great reference but unfortunately it's always overshadowed by Subs and GMTs.

Can't agree more and the "blue" is truly STRIKING!

I went for the platinum dial, all my other watches have dark dials and the deal was better with this dial.

I will post photos when back from business trip - can't get the iPhone to attach the photo :(

I never payed it much attention but after Fred's recent pick up and amazing pics, I'm thinking I may need to take a closer look.

Wow That's one of the new ones with the New spring, Engraved Rehaut, and more contemporary platnum dial! Nice find. I really like the Yachty'

I kinda miss mine

That picture looks really good. One of the coolest guys I know (he's from Transylvania and everyone calls him "Count Chocula") wears a SS yacht master with platinum dial. No coincidence there.

I think he YM is the most underrated Rolex sports model. I love the platinum dial and that red hand looks awesome.
