GMT 116710 vs. YM 116622 Blue

Hi

Can someone please post some pictures of these two watches together? I would really like to see how they differ when it comes size and thickness of the lugs.
I haven´t really bonded yet with my gmt2c because of the supercase. I might just flip it for the new blue 116622 Blue. It´s a beutiful watch too and it seems like it wears a little bit smaller because of the more slender case.

Thanks in advance!

Emil

Can't help with the pics - but can agree the case size of YM is more pleasant to see.

The maxi's will take some time to get adjusted to...

I have the Sub-C and the YM, can't say there is much in it, slight lead to the YM being thinner, but I can size the Sub better due to the glide lock.

It wears smaller for sure. But the bezel is more pronounced.

Both winners. I would never flip my GMTC, but I think the YM is a total winner.

Can't go wrong.

If you want a little less bling then go GMT(looks good with PCL), if you want a little more then the YM as the bezel stands out more.

I think the GMT IIc is a little bulkier than the Yacht-Master because of the slender case and curved lugs - but keep in mind the Yacht-Master is heavier (if that matters to you).

They are both great pieces, but if you haven't bonded with the Rolex on your wrist yet (regardless of the model) I'm afraid it's probably not the one for you. I'd look else where.

Some subtle differences

Some subtle differences between the 116622 and 116710:

• The 116622 is slightly shorter in lug length (47.2 mm vs. 47.8 mm)
• The 116622 is slightly smaller in its crown diameter (44.0 mm vs. 44.4 mm)
