The blue is beautiful, but the monochrome Platinum dial is different than any other, something you really like or hate. Personally I prefer the dial of the earlier years of the 16622. You can find these in near mint condition for a steal if you don't mind buying pre owned. Anyway, the YM is an amazing watch

I've tried on all three variants of the SS YM and would love all of them in my collection but if only one, I'd go platinum dial. Beautiful piece and I love the way the dial sparkles. Out of the two that OP has been offered, I'd go blue.

20% off a SS sports Rolex is a miler deal

Great offer on there - you really need to get there and try them both on. Rhodium would have been my choice until I tried one on.....really struggled to see the hands on a flick of the wrist glance.

I think you wanted "advice."

So TRF has "advised" you now. Good luck!

Rhodium YM is like using a TAG Heuer. No please. Think about this.
100% my choice is blue.
