... I have experimented that previously with the 1655 and GMT´s. As a matter of fact, I feel you have felt in love with your beautiful 6542 because of Vlad´s influence!

We have to be cautious!! He may be hearing us!! smile))

Best cordial regards, Abel.

End of another hunt... sharing the happiness of a new catch...

 
 By: Subexplorer : October 30th, 2014-06:34
I guess this is another catch which I have to blame my dear friend Nicolas for opening my eyes to this reference 16622. As a matter of fact, I had never paid much attention to this model till I read the coments and viewed the fantastic pictures of our Vla...  

Abel....

My favorite Rolex...

 
 By: rnaden : October 30th, 2014-07:35
Until the last two years, this is the only Rolex that I like! Superb acquisition. I still see a number of these selling at the boutiques as recent as this morning...perhaps you can enlighten me on the differences? Congratulations! I'm sure this will bring... 

Thank you Richard for your kind comments and I am glad...

... that you like this model. This watch has the reference 16622 and was discontinued, I guess a couple of years ago, when it was replaced by reference 116622 which is basically the same watch with a few changes in its movement, and a new beautiful blue d... 

Thanks, Abel, for taking the time to explain

 
 By: rnaden : October 30th, 2014-17:16
Out of curiosity, I stopped by the Rolex AD at the airport where I'm at now and you're indeed spot on. The new iteration is the 116622, with differences in both the movement and case. This somehow looks larger than the fine specimen that you have. My conf... 

My pleasure Richard! Always nice to "speak" about our watches...

 
 By: Subexplorer : October 31st, 2014-04:32
... with a colleague of passion! You are right about the dial. I had thought that the new YM was only offered with blue dial, but I checked the Rolex page and as your AD said, the option to the silver dial is still available. The bracelet clasp is of the ...

You will see, with time passing, you will love some great détails of this Watch more and more... A subtile appeal. But a fatal charm. Bravo, my friend. Very happy for you! Un fuerte abrazo. Nicolas

... Parisian one! But never heard about British and Swedish vampires!! Can´t think what they could do when they arrange a gathering!! Guess I will take more garlic with me to Milan and Paris! Hope to see you soon my dear Nicolas!!

Thank you my friend! I was sure you would approve and share...

Nice catch indeed

 
 By: Le Monde Edmond : October 30th, 2014-14:01
Abel- its funny you bring up this post because I had a similar experience. I too never paid much attention to this model until a friend of a friend had one at dinner in Munich. I asked him to see it and it really took me by surprise. I am not into modern ... 

Hi Edmond! Thank you so much for your kind comments...

 
 By: Subexplorer : October 30th, 2014-15:00
... and good wishes. Glad to know you had a similar experience. I have learned now after several timepieces of which I said "not for me" that I should never say never again, and look at them on the flesh and on my wrist before making my head about them. W... 

Vlad is a bad habit to catch

 By: Subexplorer : October 31st, 2014-04:38

Apart from nice catch

Thank you for your kind words dear Damjan!!...

... I wish I´ll be able to take some better pictures this week end. That was just a quick I Phone shot just to share my excitement for the new catch. I´m happy to know you liked the quick photo taken in haste and with bad office light, but anyway it shows...
