First one.. YM 116622
Looks like my wife is gonna get my first Rolex. We went out and looked and decided my favorite was the YM with blue dial.
Excited, I was lurking around on the forums but don't see too many posts regarding this watch. Did I make the right decision? I know it is a personal choice but just wanted to make sure there was not something I did not consider. Thanks for your opinions, Will Last edited by sleddog; 16 September 2014 at 11:42 AM.. |

Yep, that's a stunner. But beware. They are like potato chips, you can't stop at just one.

The Yacht-Master is one of the most underrated Rolex Professional Series watches of all time. Not too sure why. It is one of my personal favourites. Actually wearing mine as I type this response. I have the platinum dial, but love the blue. Highly recommended as this watch is a perfect blend of sportiness and dressiness.

I have a 16622 with platinum dial. It was my first and only. It's my weekend watch. Be happy and never look back.

that's an absolutely fantastic watch!! Love that blue dial and the red accents. You can also use the bidirectional rotating bezel as a chrono ...

I have two YM, one platinum dial and one blue. Highly underrated. I'm thinking of getting a third, 16623. You have good taste and it's a great watch!

If I were to get a YM, that's the one I would get. That blue dial just pops!
