depends on condition, but both appeal to a smaller group than say a Sub or Daytona.

The Yachtmaster is not a very good resale prospect and has never caught the eye of collectors.

I like that you are looking at both of these great watches. From a retained value standpoint I believe I could sell my 16622 for at least what I paid or more. That sale will never happen because it is my favorite watch. It is underrated for sure. One day the platinum bezel/dial will get a lot more respect .
