Which one do you prefer? The classic dial or the new blue?

versatile1 · 30 May 2013, 02:05 PM

Yes.

agsstructures · 30 May 2013, 02:17 PM

I tried the classic on today at the Rolex boutique in nyc and that watch is amazing. I would go classic.

kerytch · 30 May 2013, 02:23 PM

classic is too dull, no color contrast

horseco · 30 May 2013, 02:28 PM

Blue...

Jareddad · 30 May 2013, 03:26 PM

Blue dial all the way!!

dawgfan#1 · 30 May 2013, 04:14 PM

I really thought there would be more love for the silver dial

watchwatcher · 30 May 2013, 09:47 PM

Classic all the way!

travisb · 30 May 2013, 09:53 PM

I sold my classic YM a while back because of the lack of contrast. Still think it's a beautiful watch, but have taken more of a liking to the new blue.

ggbjr · 30 May 2013, 09:54 PM

Blue!

Kiddodoc · 30 May 2013, 10:17 PM

Have the classic and it's one of my favorites! Don't have a blue faced YM.

Wllnv19 · 30 May 2013, 10:24 PM

I sold the classic, bought the blue

JJL · 30 May 2013, 10:41 PM

You certainly can't go wrong with either, both absolutely stunning, but I own and prefer the original.

kicker_xoxox · 30 May 2013, 10:49 PM

Blue for me

Blue is nice.

roger0770 · 31 May 2013, 04:01 AM

the blue dial is awesome! however, i am more attracted to the classic platinum dial.

NGB185 · 31 May 2013, 05:06 AM

Tried the blue on in Vegas few months ago and really loved it so I pulled the trigger on it today from DavidSW...arrives tomorrow...I won't sleep tonight.

Jocke · 31 May 2013, 05:19 AM

I guess there is only one 111622 and it's blue but I prefer the 16622 with the Platinum dial over the blue.

A red datewheel will make it a little more perfect.

Daytona-Dan · 31 May 2013, 06:00 AM

Platinum dial for me, I like neutral colours that go with everything: Silver/WG/Black/White/YG, etc....

Unless I switched all my clothes to match? Then again, most of my stuff is black anyway??
Perhaps its just my OCD speaking...

SohAIS · 31 May 2013, 06:14 AM

I own the 16622 classic dial. Do not own the blue one but i suspect after seeing the blue dial i will still go for the classic dial

Awesome Pic Jocke of my favorite watch.

The 116622 comes with either a blue or platinum dial.

Where have you seen a 116622 with Platinum dial?

You haven't looked hard enough but it is still available with the platinum dial, newer bracelet with flush fit end links so they don't stick out like the old bracelet and a new machined clasp. With the upgraded bracelet, Rolex changed the reference number to 116622 and added the blue dial to the line last year.

Blue!

fishingbear · 31 May 2013, 12:31 PM

It's the 16622 classic SS/Plat for me.
That model just seems as dressed up as any Rolex but still a sports model; perfect.

Nycturbovr6 · 31 May 2013, 12:32 PM

I love the classic!

watchf · 31 May 2013, 01:31 PM

Classic is the only choice!
