My 2nd Rolex...a Yatchmaster
Just got my second Rolex yesterday and guess what? It's a Yachtmaster 16622 D2005!

Saw this at a local jewellery shop last week, tried it on and 'wow' what a stunning piece. Was after a JLC initially to wear 'for best' but this Yachtmaster is just right. A bit of haggling and it came in at the right price which was great.

It's in pretty good shape with only a few snail trails on the bezel.

Pictured below and with my Exp II...

Congrats on the new watch. I don't know anyone else but looking at those two watches I see a pattern developing.....

It's a great, if underrated, piece.

Congrats! Beautiful watches, especially YM. I wonder if the Pt bezel of YM is enormously prone to scratches?

Congrats!!! I got one in October. I love it! I wouldn't worry about the bezel. I got my first scratch playing with my dog. I read Dalton can make it look like new for not much $.
Enjoy it! It is such a beautiful watch.
