Thank you..........
In the past I was never a fan of the Yacht Master.
But your report has enlightened me and increased my view of it.
And like others, I like very much your improvements 
Thanks Jocke
Rolex Yacht-Master REF 16622 - Was it someone that mention Yachtmaster?............
ROLEX YACHT-MASTER REF 16622 The reference 16622 YachtMaster is made in SS and Platinum is just a little different and a unique Rolex watch. It looks a little different than a diver watch and it´s a little big to call dress watch. In my opinion you can us...
You know I am not very keen on some tuning when it comes to watches.
BUT I have to say that the red date is a gorgeous idea! In fact, it should definitely be like that, in my opinion. As for your observations on the platinum parts of the YM, thank you very much. It is said that the Pt parts are the bezel and the dial. we h...
Ultra thorough!
What a review! To the point of disecting the watch and putting it all back perfectly together! I must say this is the only Rolex I like with its combination of stainless steel and platinum and your article has reaffirmed this. Thanks again and keep up the...
Thank you, great pictures. I agree about the YM...
...it's my favorite Rolex. Don't agree about the new Daytona-style clasp though. Seems a bit thick and unwieldy to me, and reduces the amount of adjustment you can make.
Fabulous Jocke, superb pictures too, as usual.....
does the new balance wheel with Parachrome improve the accuracy? I love the red date it gives the watch more dynamic, perhaps Rolex could propose different "options", either way this is a little like changing the normal tyres on your car for wider ones or...
Wow excellent post
I used to own the platinum yachtmaster and always wondered just how much of the bezel was actually platinum!
Thank you very mucht for this posting.
Great review and pictures. Love the red date !
Wow, excellent post.
This is one of the most interesting and nice post I've ever read. All the upgrades and mods you have done to it look fantastic to me, congrats. Love that Genta on your wrist. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Vte :)

LOL, I thought you were the watchmaker. :)
I was amazed by your skills. Well, still amazed. cheers Vte :)
Thank you all for the kind words..........
I just put together some old pics to show my views about the watch and what I've done to it. I'm happy you like it.
A question for you, Jocke. Do you happen to know when the Pt model was released?
The YM was first introduced in gold ( 1992 ), but much later in Pt.... 1997? I think it arrived even later in France ( 1999 ). Best, Nicolas
AWESOME photos as always Jocke..
and love the modifications to the YM! I just been offered one from my AD..I may have to revisit...
Bite the bullet!!!
Lol! Hi, Phil, Which one are you considering? Blue dial or the platinum one? Have a great weekend, Alex
That Yachtmaster
Brilliant Jocke!. It confirms that I did right buying mine which was new in 2002 (case made 2000) second hand pristine in 2006. Albeit that my partner borrows it as it it the 35mm . Superb watchmaking. Brilliant strip down so well photographed and explain...
