Thanks!!! Exactly why I bought it. Nah, I bought it because it sang to me and I've wanted a YM since before I bought my first Rolex.

Are the crystals on both the 16628 full yellow gold and the rhodium 116622 AR anti reflective coated?

They're not AR coated except for the small surface under the Cyclops.

There’s never a thing as posting too much photos! Well, not in this case anyway.

wow the rhodium dial and blue hands are beautiful. I haven't yet seen on in the wild (though I'm less frequently in the wild these days).

I’ve had the same watch for many years and never noticed the red numbers for the ‘30’. Learn something new everyday!

I think it's a custom "roulette" date wheel they alternates between red and black for even and uneven numbers.

Doesn't look half bad. Ever tried a turquoise or baby blue strap to match the second hand and YM lettering?

Picked up the Rhodium 126622 two weeks ago. I first discovered it back in February and had been in love ever since. Took about a month or so for my AD to get it in for me and it was even better in person. I really feel it’s the most beautiful watch I’ve seen. Living in NYC and taking the subway everyday I wanted some options to reduce the bracelet bling and also make it feel a bit more sporty. Super happy with these rubber straps I picked up and the versatility they provide. The steel bracelet is certainly stunning and will be used for more formal occasions.
