Its got to be blue for me.

Goose 104 · 6 June 2022, 07:34 PM

Either way you end up with this gorgeous bezel

Len S · 6 June 2022, 07:36 PM

There is no bad choice here. I would be happy with either, or both.

HogwldFLTR · 6 June 2022, 07:48 PM

I personally love the Rhodium dial and the way it pairs with the Horus Miami blue strap during the summers. Time to swap out the bracelet again and give it some rest.

faimag · 6 June 2022, 07:50 PM

You can't go wrong with either although my personal favorite is the original "textured" platinum (light grey) :)

Blue 100%. This is actually the reference I'm awaiting a call for, from the A.D. I was put upon the list back in April so it will probably be a while yet.

Love that leather with the yachtmaster, and I had no idea that this reference came with a roulette date wheel! Makes it that much cooler IMO

I was on the list in March, so in a similar position. Did your AD give you an estimated wait time?

Thanks! No longer own it; the red date was added by a private watchmen, from the Datejust Turnograph model

Both are very nice, but I have a preference for slate. I like the dressier vibe, it suits the Yacht-Master better, to me at least.

I was confronted with a similar choice in 2015, albeit platinum dial vs blue dial, ref 116622, there was no rhodium/slate at the time, that one came up in 2016. I had both models in front of me, side by side in my hands and I chose pt dial.

I really liked the monochrome look, harching back to the original 16622 from 1999, the first Rolesium model. If I didn't already have the pt, I'd get the slate, the next best dial to me.

Blue looks much nicer.

I have both. I would go with the slate. The blue has a bit of an aquamarine tint in it. The baby blue highlights on the slate are very unique.

alonsowwss · 7 June 2022, 05:07 AM

Always go with rhodium dial :)

I also chose the Slate…such a versatile piece…

JRell · 7 June 2022, 08:20 AM

Slate - blue makes the dial look too small

Agree

Philadelphialawyer1 · 7 June 2022, 10:03 AM

Neither. My friend hit the bezel causing an unsightly mark. Scared me away.

Ironchip · 7 June 2022, 11:07 AM

Most definitely The Slate

Bigdaddy38 · 7 June 2022, 02:53 PM

Blue by a mile! Friend has Slate and I was worried I made the wrong choice… got the call for blue and it is so dynamic in so many lighting situations and the platinum bezel shines!

Slate is more similar to the discontinued platinum dial. The blue pops much more and is very very sporty. I prefer blue.

I came back into the hobby after a decade-long hiatus. Upon seeing the rhodium YM40 it was immediately the watch I wanted. So it was an easy choice for me buying the slate dial last fall. Stunning watch.

I know right? It's a difficult choice to make but just because it's blue, it'll always be my favorite.
