Yacht-Master Bezel Concerns 16628
Hi, I'm new to the forums and hopefully you can help me out.
I'm a little concerned about the longevity of the full gold 16628 bezel. I'm seeing a few listings where the bezel looks like It's been polished poorly or damaged. Is this easy to damage the bezel on the gold model... or is it more the platinum versionS? Bonus questions: does anybody know if the gold yacht-master has full gold links or hallow? And what is the weight of this watch? Looking into this potential option as my first Rolex since it seems to be good value for a relatively modern full gold piece. Thank you in advance ![]() |

Gold is softer than platinum.

the gold 16628 (and TT) uses hollow links which is a somewhat interesting juxtaposition against the 16622 as it was one of the first rolexes to have a solid bracelet. In terms of gold/platinum bezel it is hard to polish and expensive to replace, make sure it is never polished and just enjoy the scratches and you'll be happy with the ym.

Also, is there any 16628 with full gold links? I like the weight of a heavy watch and having more gold is always good. |
