It's a great looking watch...which I've owned twice!
I realized in parting with the watch for a second time that TT isn't really for me, but I can certainly admire it on others Not one you see often. I'm a sucker for white dials! |

Hey Sergio,
I own a 16623 and wear it as my daily for the most part, as well as my primary dress watch. I found that it matched my wedding band the best, was amazingly comfortable, and a could be easily dressed down - but still looks awesome in a suit. I love the white dial, huge black indices, glowing triangles at night, there's just a lot going on with this watch but at the same time it's a bit understated from afar, I absolutely love it if you can't tell. Here's a few pics of mine... http://i.imgur.com/KRyKV4K.jpg http://i.imgur.com/87nwvyL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/b11r5yV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OgdRUIZ.jpg |

Hello,
The white dial with black index is for me the most beautiful dial for a yacht Master, but I have never had one in hands. Could you tell me if the dark index glows really at night ? If you have pics it will be great . ( Please excuse my poor English ) |

This is a great option for the YM and you'll have a very different watch to admire daily.
To Ed the Grocer: No, the round hour plots don't have lume - but the hands do - so you can get a general idea of the time at night.

Love it. I'll post some pictures of mine later. Actually just had a comment on it at lunch.
One thing I will say is that it is not nearly as photogenic as others, so you don't see the real beauty unless you see it with your own two eyes... |

this is a beaut,...this was the first YG Rolex I ever bought. By far the best looking YM combination. My wife now wears it all day every day.

Thank you sit! I actually ended up trading my YM, I loved it but to be honest it was a bit much in a board room for a younger guy, and I was ending up with crazy desk dive dings and swirls. However, I will one day get another - I've made my mind up, it's just not the most appropriate for this time in my life.

porcshe958, Do the little arrows of lume? Inside the indices glow in the dark?

Yes they do, and they were sharp looking at that. My biggest concern with how the bezel weathered, since it has a bit of a matte finish, it tends to look "dingy" after a whole and I was unsure of how serviceable it was regarding that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every time I visit this thread I do regret getting rid of it, specially since I wore it on my wedding day and it matches my Cartier cuff links, but I may snatch another up with solid links soon anyhow..
