What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

Fantastic photo as ever.

I couldn't agree with you more Jocke!

I have loved the look of the 16622 since the launch 20 years ago.

All the best from a very wet Scotland, Rolexroz

O had one and loved it all the time I had it.

In bright sunshine that dial sparkles like diamond dust.

It’s up there.

The date wheel mod helps a lot.

For the longest time I’ve wanted one of those. The monochrome color scheme make the red seconds hand pop. I love the “chunky” bezel too.

Great pic!!

Beautiful 16622. I like the red date wheel. Great photography, as always Jocke.

Pretty unique monochrome design with a solid platinum dial and bezel.

I've owned my 116622 plat dial for a few years now. First grail, still love it.

YM plat dial aficionados, we're a rare bunch.

I did not know such a colorway existed. So subtle. It is cool without being cold. Thank you for sharing. If only Rolex would consider that for a Sub/SD/DSSD.

Never liked the YM, always thought it was too over the top and brash. Then a friend showed me his Rolesium 116622 and I was smitten with its understated elegance. This is my current grail. The red date wheel is a terrific idea.

My first love also! It was the red accents that got me, and the glittery dial...
