The first edition of the YachtMaster will always been the nicest one>>>
in my opinon. The hard blasted platinum surface at the dial with the fat red fonts is hard to beat. Then a red datewheel doesn't make things worse.

The platinum dialed 116622 only lasted a few years before the rhodium/slate and blue dials were the sole choice. It did not have the red date wheel, it was black. They are relatively rare.

100% agreed. I never understood why they changed it.
Nice pic. Quote:

Beautiful. I prefer the following 116622 with a slightly less coarse dial finish, but stunning nonetheless. Thanks for the top picture, as always Jocke.

Great photo.
Sold my YM. First Rolex I ever sold, and one of the first I ever bought. Whilst your photo captures it in the perfect light showing it off beautifully, mine just didn’t get the wrist time it deserved, so it had to go. |

I agree. That dial looks absolutely beautiful in sunlight. Really sparkled. They changed the texture of the dial with later version. Still beautiful, but not quite as beautiful as the early ones!

Honestly I didn’t care for them when first released, however they have grown on me a lot over the years. I really like them now. Beautiful watch!
