Just checked a few things on Rolex website and see the 116622 has the 3235 movement whilst the subs get the 3135 still.

so what you are saying is the YM is a better watch than the sub now? i agree. Just checking

Phudu · 25 March 2019, 08:56 PM

Not just the blue dial, all 40 mm Yacht-Masters get the new movements.
Good eyes for details.

Objectively, subjectively, and practically!

VicLeChic · 26 March 2019, 12:43 AM

Yet another reason for buying the YM over the Sub, not that I needed one, I've always been a fan of the more refined YM.

Is this new for 2019?

zjd168 · 26 March 2019, 12:51 AM

this is weird, so Rolex changes the movement without changing the reference number?

just checked, the reference number is changed to 126622. That makes sense now

Wrist King · 26 March 2019, 01:31 AM

Well spotted, too, on the reference number being updated. Wouldn't want to be holding 116622 stock now; a small victory against the greys.

After a 116622 or 126622 myself, pricing should be better.

This also explains why I've been unable to find a 116622 blue from an AD for last six months.

I asked DavidSW and he said no change to price of 116622. Good luck with that.

My trusted seller had a very hard time to source a NIB 116622 last year. Now i understand why...
I am so glad i could get one of the last. Not saying the 3235 is an issue. I just prefer not to buy one of the very first model of something new. Could be a 335i, an iPhone or whatever... It always takes a few years of adjustment to make something very reliable.

Thanks for sharing that fact anyway.

Whoa!

Did the color of the blue dial change?

It still comes in 2nd place.

It happened when Rolex updated its website for Basel. The new-movement blue-dial gold BLRO showed up at the same time.

But not the steel/platinum models have the glidelock. only the oysterflex models

no update on the steel/platinum models though, the easylink 5mm extension link remains.

The 3235 was introduced in 2015, it's not exactly "new" new. From my personal experience with my DJ41, the 3235 movement is totally worth it.

Wrist King · 5 April 2019, 11:44 PM

Anybody able tell me when I can buy a blue 126622?

YM has always been the better watch! Rolex designed it that way

BentleyReese · 8 April 2019, 01:56 AM

YM is awesome. love the red white and blue color scheme.

BentleyReese · 8 April 2019, 01:56 AM

126622 does not seem to be a lighter blue. I wonder of the 116261 will be getting the same change to 3235

BentleyReese · 8 April 2019, 01:57 AM

sorry 116621 SS/RG

Etschell · 8 April 2019, 02:34 AM

No glidelock though

chro.nic · 8 April 2019, 10:53 AM

I believe the dial colour has remained the same. The only dial difference I think is the small rolex crown/logo between the words Swiss and Made at the 6 o'clock position.
In Canada the price increase is CAD $200. Not that much I suppose!
