The blue dial is nothing but candy to the eyes. You can literally stare at it for hours. And be completely re-entertained when you get it into sunlight. The dial is also a chameleon... it can go from a baby blue to black and every shade in between throughout the day.

And the case, is absolutely gorgeous and so appealing to look at. It’s so classy like a DJ or Daytona but has this elegance of sport with that insanely appealing platinum dial.

The YM in all variations is without a doubt Rolex’s best kept secret.

Rolex did about as much as they're going to do with it at this years Basel

So is mine, and this watch is fantastic for smaller wrists. The lugs and case fit is VERY similar to the SS daytona, which is perfect for smaller wrists.

The only thing that's been holding me back from pulling the trigger is my mild ambivalence about the platinum bezel.
And the SS model is now getting the 3235 movement moving forward

16622 is such a great watch for still an affordable price compared to other sports series in this market.

My wrists are about your size. I have the SS/PL 40 and it fits great. You might be surprised. As the OP said, the curve of the lugs makes this the most comfortable watch I own. I think you’ll find it fits you perfectly.

That YM is stunning. That blue dial makes my knees weak.
Just can’t believe it’s so underrated.

Amazing shot. I've been in constant turmoil for this piece or an CHNR
I thinks these 2 are the most elegant sporty watches rolex produces today
