Highly underrated piece.
The steel stole a lot of it’s thunder, but if you get a chance to wear the WG it’s a stunner.

I believe this is a very underrated piece as well. I’ve also heard they are very rarely seen in the wild. Considering all of the hate the Yachtmaster II gets as whole, perhaps the seldom seen/sold white gold 116689 reference will become a future classic? I guess only time will tell.

Does anyone own the white gold Yachtmaster II 116689 and have any pictures they’d like to share?

Nice strap and I agree rubber has no place on a nice watch.

Thank you everyone for your continued input!

Would still love to see some pictures of people's 116689 or to know the weight of one from someone who owns one.

so no one is talking about it but this has gone bye bye and discontinued officially. gone from the website and had no presence at the show.

This is sadly discontinued! I have to assume this is going to be rare, never sold well and I never see it at any ad.
