After the Milgauss 116400G, the Air King 116900, here my third Un-Rolex " Rolex, I mean in the moderns. As for the vintage, I will have to think a bit about that. The Yacht-Master is the epitome of the " Submariner Chic ". I love its density and its cold ...

Hehehe... ;)

My third and last " Un-Rolex " Rolex: Yacht-Master 16622.

Saw I supertiny one in Barcelona a few weeks ago, lovely!

There were several sizes ( 31 mm / 37 mm and this one, 40 mm ).

Wasn't the mid size 35mm Nico? The new version is 37mm I know, I tried one on and was actually very tempted.

As far as I remember, 37.

Ok just searched it, ref 168622 35mm. That's the Charlie Sheen watch from his sitcom.

Thanks for the correction! We learn everyday.

It's true, even someone with your incredible knowledge mon ami. Ever tried the new 37mm? Pretty cool and somewhat rebellious choice imho

PS: I checked and found a 37 mm steel platinum dial and bezel, too... So it seems that it came in these different sizes: 29 mm ( not 31 ) 35 and 37 mm and 40 mm...

I've just completed an internet crash course in the YM ;) The 37mm size was first introduced in 2015 with the 268655, in Everose on Oysterflex and the Rolesium 37mm 268622 was introduced in 2016.

Hehehe... ;)

Very nice, I love the look of the YM that n this configuration and rhodium dial. Case is preferable to the sub too in my opinion

Platinum dial! Agreed on the case.

Love it

The fact that it is not the most popular makes me love it even more. ;)

Me too 😉

;)

Real cool looking Rolex...and superb picture!

Thank you, jlux.

As someone that picked 5712 over 5711 this speakers to me much more than other Rolex watches

Thanks for looking, my friend.

This is ... a very cool Rolex Nicolas!

It really is! Thanks, Chronometer.

Classic. Has always got my attention!

Yes, we live in a mad world.

One of my favorite, newer Rolex designs, some beautifully balanced accents here.

That's the magic of these " Un-Rolex "... ;)

Super watch

Merci!

Some how I never got very interested in this reference. BUt I do like your jacket

LOL! Thanks, Tony.

It looks great on your wrist! Nice photo!

Merci, mon ami.

very cool, but what car is this ? old Lancia ?

Volvo P1800.

awesome !

Oh yes, I love it so much!

What a collection you have Nico, seems endless.

Far from being endless, but thanks for the kind words, Johnny.

Once upon a time I had this one...

The Ice Cold Master!

One of my most cherished pieces.

Yes, a very exclusive club. I like that, a lot!

Very cool shot 👏🏻 The watch definitely "pops"

Yes, that's the magic of this platinum dial.

I don't recall, is it also platinum the dial, or only the bezel?

Both the bezel and the dial.

👍🏻

There is really nothing to criticize about that watch

You rally should, my friend. Highly recommended.

My favorite configuration in the YM range 👍

Here we are in total agreement. I like the blue dialed one, too, but not as much as this one which is, for me, THE Yacht-Master.

The 1st and original is indeed the best variant so far 👌

Well, I think the first was this one...

Yes true but I meant in SS 😉

Ah yes!

Looks great in you! I like how it looks in the bright sunlight too!

Yes, that's the best way to fully enjoy it.

Nico - your thoughts?

Well, that is what I call a sparkling dial! ;)

And by the way

The RVYM. Sounds good!
