On the other hand, since the Hulk is the ugliest Rolex ever produced, that ain't sayin' much. :D

Very nice. Huge improvement over the standard yatchmaster bezel which I've always disliked.

Very cool

I've always wondered how the black or blue Submariner bezels would look on there... more recently, I wonder how the new BLACK insert from the Rose Gold Yacht-Master would look on this 16622. Awesome I bet!

I like the red bezel! Looks quasi-vintage.

Wow, as always, you really take watch photography to a supreme level.
One question regarding that red..
Do you think any Rolex bezel&insert would fit? 16620 has a different case and I think no, but.., your red has made me ask if a 16610 black would fit..
I think about changing color and

Beautiful pic! but the red bezel doesnt do it for me, not being a purist or anything like that but the original bezel still looks better on it to me...
Again my opinion only and ive been told all my life thats not worth a pinch of salt lol!

Awesome picture my friend! You for sure would make more than one WIS puzzled with that watch!! Personally I like it, and I am sure a lot would too if it came out with that configuration from Genčve!

Icon13 wtf?

Are you people serious? "Neat?" "Looks cool?" The 16622 is a classic, and that abomination looks absolutely ridiculous. Can you say INVICTA?

I like it Jocke. Don't know how you guys do this so well to make it look real??!! I've been thinking about how my 16623 Yachtmaster with it's champagne dial would look with a red second hand and red datewheel. Can you do that one for me?
