A few more images of YACHT-MASTER 116622 bl

These were taken with a better camera under better lighting conditions. It will give you a better sense of the hues of blue and how they vary from lighter to darker and show off different levels of texture based on lighting. Unfortunately, I forgot to line up the bezel (doh!)

I keep seeing these and I don't want to like it. However, I saw one for realsies a few days ago and I'm starting to see it. Don't tell anyone I said that though. I have a curmudgeony reputation to uphold.

Gorgeous! Thanks for the beautiful pics. You can never get too many pics of watches.

Must get to Rolex AD and try one. Although, I don't know where I would ever get the money to afford one.

May be worth waiting longer to get instead of a Sub No Date. Must see it in person. I love the blue sunburst dial. Also like that the bezel is metal instead of contrasting with the case. Especially platinum!

Cheers
Carl

That is really nice. It won't be long until Jocke adds a blue datewheel.

Great watch, I love it. The first pic is very good. Pretty bright light in the others - nice to see how the dial appears to 'change' in tone.

Oh my! That is one very stunning watch! Now I have numbers turning in my head for what I can sell some for to buy this in midsize. Shouldn't have looked.

It is growing on me. When I have seen pics with other watches, the dial looks much smaller than even other 40 MM watches.

Optical illusion due to the bezel, or is the face actually smaller than say, a Sub?
