Rolex Yachtmaster 16622 is the perfect anti-dive luxury watch - Unboxing + Review!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The Rolex Yachtmaster, one of the models in the Rolex Professional watch lineup was introduced in 1992 with this reference 16628 - which was in solid Yellow Gold. The Yachtmaster is designed as a higher-end luxury sports watch - with the introduction of Platinum and Everose Gold used on its bi-directional bezel. Later in 1999, Rolex introduced the 16622 - which is Rolex's version of stainless steel and platinum (Rolesium). Is this watch a better buy and a better watch than a Rolex Submariner?

About TwoSecondsWatch
Founded by two friends casually talking about watches and enjoying them, TWOSECONDSWATCH is a hobby turned business. We are watch lovers and enthusiasts first and always, and we want to make sure that every person's watch journey is one that is of enjoyment and also discovery.
Collecting and owning watches is a journey for most of our clients, and we hope to add value by not only procuring and curating the watches but we only sell watches we ourselves would love to wear and personally own. We also give honest write-ups and sometimes review and critique the watches we sell and talk about how it feels on the wrist - because we know what it's like to want a watch, to finally buy it, and then realize you don't feel the way you thought you did! We are uniquely online-based only to keep the costs low, so we can pass the savings to our customers. As such, our watches and straps are competitively priced and reflect that as well.

Hi 👋 Thanks for watching this video! What do you think of this type of video? Let me know what kind of watch videos you’d like to see us do next! ✌🏻 Do subscribe and like the video, it really does help us create more videos like this. 👍
I bought one of these in early 2000s after buying a Submariner in 1996 and a Daytona in 1999. Why this Yacht Master did not take off in value escapes me but I think it may be due to it's market position relative to the other Rolex models. Men often buy a Submariner as their first Rolex, and once they have done that, they start looking at other Rolex models and at that point the Yacht Master gets overlooked. This model was one of the first to have solid links, some heft due to the Platinum, and some bling due to the polished body. It has the body of a Daytona and the movement of a Submariner. The Lums on it are awesome. When you own one you say to yourself, "Crap, this thing is just really cool!" When you go to a party, it is a great conversation piece. This watch is every bit as good as the newer ones Rolex has released, in my opinion. Get a Yacht-Master!!

Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoyed the video!
I saw from another channel explaining that the yatchmaster was supposed to be the next submariner but then they decided to create another watch model lineup. Thus, the yatchmaster was born. 😊 Been a fan ever since. Hopefully I can own one someday.

I honestly agree! If you look at the design language and the similarities between the 2 models compared side by side, you can tell so. Do subscribe to the channel as I will be sharing a 1 to 1 comparison in an upcoming video! :)
I own the blue dial YM version as well as a Sub. Without question the YM is a better version of the Sub.

Logically there can not be a comparison between Sub and YM , Sub made for under water as divers watch and YM for over water.

@@markvelber8664 I disagree. The YM has the same Trip-lock crown as the Sub and therefore fully capable of underwater activities. I had my AD subject my YM to a pressure test and it passed at 200m. Likely would have handled more pressure but we didn’t do it. Trust me, the YM can handle anything the Sub can related to water
Beautiful watch, those curved lugs and over all premium look make it a classic vintage piece that will be sought after by many enthusiasts. ❤👍👍

Would you call the great on the dial on the warmer side?
@twosecondswatch
Жыл бұрын
Do you mean the dial? It really does change with the light. In bright sunlight, I find it has a nice sheen due to the fine dust like finishing on the platinum dial - I think the platinum does make a difference in the dynamic look of the dial. In warmer indoor light conditions it can seem a little warmer, however platinum I find has a different hue vs stainless steel and white gold (which is warmer).
When you mention the bezels texture, do you know if possible at all to restore should there be wear evident?

I have heard that it is possible but it would be a very difficult process I believe as the bezel is 100% platinum

its not 100% platinum, its a mix of platinum and their rolex steel. It can be done but you have to find someone who knows what they are doing. I think you can send back in to rolex as well for service but it wont be cheap

Hi 👋 thanks for your feedback. At first I thought the same thing however actually that is how the yachtmaster is polished, in actual fact it’s curved unlike the submariner. You can check it out brand new at the AD and you will notice it’s the same. At first glance it looks like it’s over polished however that’s actually the look for the Yachtmaster
Amazing review
