The 16622 is no longer listed on the Rolex website (men's section) , just the YMII

it'll be around for the next 12 months or so, it's never been a hot seller and it'll still be sitting in ADs by 2014/2015...

The Rolesium model is gorgeous, a niche that unfortunately hasn't caught on in great numbers for some odd reason.
I really like it but won't buy one because others would come first. Maybe that's the ultimate problem. |

Got my 116622 the other day got the Platinum dial as i think the blue dial detracts from the classyness of the design though i do admit i like the high contrast of the blue dial but i think the novelty would have worn out over time.

Tried the YM with the blue dial last weekend at an AD and it looks great; changes color with the light. Very tempting to take home with me - too bad the AD I was at goes crazy on pricing.
