This was my first Rolex and it was the watch that made me fall in love with horology. In my opinion, this is the most underrated watch in the Rolex catalogue.
After two years trying to decide my first high end watch, came to this one and fall in love inmediatly. No regrets, for me, the perfect watch. Goes perfect with all outfits from casual to dressier. I bet in near future lots of watch entusiast will be looking for this piece as they are today with the submariner.
Wow absolutely stunning watch. The rhodium dial with the blue seconds hand and the high polish surfaces make it one of my favorite Rolex models. It blows my mind that this piece has gone so under the radar when you are getting most of the functionality of a sub while in a piece that is more luxurious and eye catching. This watch is the epitome of Rolex. A capable well made sports watch wrapped in precious metals/high end materials and finished beautifully.
To me the most desirable or professional references after the 116500LN Daytona black dial of course. It’s not as common as a submariner date and the the turquoise hands are just perfect with the grey shades! A work of art. Want it soooo much, but the waiting lists are huge at the moment
Hands down the best video quality oit there on this watch. Lovely watch. I didn’t have this on my radar and my AD offered me this as an opportunity last week. Still thinking about it and still unsure though
Just tried this on at the AD. Love, love, love the case and love the dial on this watch but I can't get over the all-metal bezel. Too flashy I guess? Seems like it out stick out as a daily wearer. Thoughts?
The new version of this says “slate dial” on the Rolex website and has a different reference number (126 622 instead of 116 622 as shown here). Anyone know the difference between the two? Is the colour actually still the same? Thanks for any info :)
The 116622 uses the older 3135 movement (pre 2015). Whereas the 126622 uses the new 3235 movement with 70 hour power reserve. With the new movement there is a Rolex crown inserted between 'Swiss' and 'Made' on the bottom of the dial.
@@lloydsjewellery thanks for the info, much appreciated. That’s very annoying to hear, especially after 6 purchases with the same AD! I’ve had a similar experience with cars, when the sales exec leaves and now your back to the bottom of the queue for any good deals or insights. Ok wow, yes I’ve heard you need to buy multiple pieces to get offered the more sought after models. It’s a shame because I just adore the 126622 dearly but can’t really afford to buy several more standard pieces, just to gain favour. Luckily the retail and current prices aren’t too astronomical like with the hulk 🤣. Shame about the Daytona! They never added you to the list after 4 years of waiting! That is very frustrating.

This will be my first Rolex, there is not even a close second, this will be the one.

a trick : watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Keagan Duncan yup, have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :)
@@davidperez8458 i agree 💯
This is one of the best watches of all time. Got my call from the AD a few days ago!

In person, this one is amazing. The cool colour scheme is subtle but the finishing is anything but subtle. Great watch you've got!
The YM is the best Rolex in the lineup.
For sure, under rated in comparison with Subs and GMT's but one of our favourites!
Yes , with platinium
Lol relax buddy
Stunning. It has the best Sub characteristics in a much nicer package.
Agreed. A Lovely reference.
I got my platinum YM in 2007 and I love it. It is still my favorite Rolex model and wears well with everything. I’m glad it’s so under rated
This is a beauty. A sleeper if you ask me. Next Daytona hype in years to come.
Gorgeous. I would much rather have a Yacht-master than a Submariner.
Gorgeous! Just picked mine up yesterday -- love it.
Stunning watch , one of the greatest.
Put my name down with my AD for one of these today. Hope I’m not waiting too long. Stunning watch
Collecting from the AD on Saturday. 16 month wait. 😊
Just bought one yesterday. my first and rolex
Love this watch - finally went and put my name down at my local AD for this model. I’m hoping in about 6 months I’ll get the call.
So Happy that i can Pick Up my Rhodium Dial YM tomorrow. Seeing here a next SUB and Daytona Type of demand in the next few years.
Very nice watch. Looking to get one for myself.

Great piece. Extremely underrated
Great video and lovely watch, thanks.
I have this watch. Looks rich on the wrist.
You sir have my grail watch. I hope you enjoy it
Many nice characteristics, but the bezel can appear plasticky, at least in videos. It also overpowers the dial a bit due to its relative width.
Just got this ,beautiful watch ,nice review aswell

Hi, thanks for sharing, just wanted to ask your wrist size and how many links were removed from each side to get a good fit. Thanks..
Watch is hard to find. Wonder if Rolex would make this version in 42mm
I hope not.
Do you think YM 40 on 2 tone Everose Gold and steel is still a good buy from the AD ?
Just tried this on at the AD. Love, love, love the case and love the dial on this watch but I can't get over the all-metal bezel. Too flashy I guess? Seems like it out stick out as a daily wearer. Thoughts?
Fabulous watch and highly desirable, difficult to find one.
Got it and love it :)
Excelent!!!
beautiful watch :)

Congrats!! Love it!
Very nice
Is the dial black or grey
Wow this is amazing
How long was you on the waiting list for this yachtmaster. I’ve been my AD’s list for ages ahahah

Glad this watch has not succumbed to the hype of other (less attractive) models.
The case of this watch looks the same as on the Daytona though I’ve never seen this watch in Person.
I own this and your spot on 👍
How much is this, new?
$12,000 from AD but I think more if new resale.
@@vasaguy7624 i think this one depreciate. Its cheaper on grey
@@unreal7875 It isn't cheaper on the grey
Forgot the rotating bezel
If it weren’t for the YM name people would be drooling over it. Even so, when people do figure out this watch exists the price is going to spike.
What was the price?
This sold just above RRP at £9800 which covered our fees.
May I ask what is your wrist size?
Hi, 6.8 inches ish, pretty much 7 inches
Looks like you got it just in time before they disappeared.
Gorgeous watch but on the whole YM's don't get much love for some reason.
真好看好看您好拍得真好
So you like this because other people don’t like it?
^ That is not what he said.
Just order one from my AD
はーっ、かーっこいーですねっ！
It’s really annoying how much you move the watch not pleasant at all
Try pausing the video
Cool video but we can barely hear you. You have to speak louder or enhance your audio.
Submariner ist the most attractive watch ever, sorry.
