    Been on the edge for a while and finally pulled the trigger on a Pre-Owned Yachtmaster 116622 and i love it lots. Not sure why it doesnt get as much love as the subs.

    Nice - they’re cousins - I see it as a more elegant sub very versatile

    I love YMs, but I've never pulled the trigger on one. They always struck me as a little too "blingy" looking in pics -- not sure if that's true in person (never seen one!)

    Not too blingy IMO. This is direct bright sunlight and as "shiney" as it gets. Most times it is a much darker blue and much more subtle.

    That blue dial with the touch of red from the seconds hand looks killer. Love it...

    At basically the same price, it seems silly not getting the plat bezel on the yachtmaster.

    Did I mention that the YM is very photogenic too ? I swapped the bracelet for a NATO and it totally transforms the watch from dressy to casual!

    Ps: that's a really high res picture you can use as a wallpaper

    Woah :eek:::love::

    I must admit that this has totally flown under the radar for me. Absolutely wonderful on that NATO strap. Something I would wear easily day in, day out.

    On the less dressy NATO I see you harbor side fueling your yacht ready for the weekend in Bermuda. Nice pic

    That looks great! I want a dark blue rubber strap if I can find one.

    I have the same watch. I do find it less bling than my 116613LB as well.

    I’m wondering what it would look like with all brushed bracelet. My photoshop skills suck so I can’t tell.

    Your blue dial YM is a gorgeous watch, the one I´d buy. Love the blue dial and little pop of red! :D Would be a nice companion to my old 14060, if I could ever find one...!

    Agree....

    I have the earlier Rolex Yachtmaster 16622 Platinum Dial & Bezel ! killer watch.... and my only sort of modern Rolex ( made after 1990).

    Good Hunting

    I like YM too. Thinking about selling my sub and just keep the YM.

    That’s a good looking watch, but the YM has just never floated my boat....
