So we all know the typical candidates when it comes to Rolex watches, and I feel despite the growing uncertainty of the world we live in, one of the constants that has persisted is the relative demand for Rolex as it is still quite strong, but the models we have here are two great examples of timepieces that are not maybe seen as collectible or demand insane premiums, but I think that is one of leading aspects of their appeal and why I wanted to cover them with the Rolex Milgauss and Rolex Yacht-Master

Please don't bring any more attention to the 40mm Yachtmaster. It is under appreciated and not hyped. Us YM owners like it that way. 😂😂😂

Two of their most underrated watches. The milgauss is like the brother who went to art school or something. It’s a Rolex, but it’s like indie at the same time. I just really like it.

@walkerb1734 3 года назад

The Yacht Master is an amazing piece. Easily one of the best in the Rolex catalog. I’ve owned the blue face model and have worn it regularly for several years now. It never ceases to put a smile on my face when it’s on the wrist.

@jmbaug1229 3 года назад

The blue dial configuration is my favourite Rolex piece ... I love the architecture of the case and how fluid the whole piece wears on the wrist. In my humble opinion The Yacht Master is the cooler and improved version of the Submariner 😅

The green tinted crystal on the Milgauss is stunning and I am advised, very difficult to manufacture. The Yacht-Master 40 is very different in its case shape as compared to other Rolex sports models. Very under-appreciated watches. Thank you, Teddy, for your informative reviews of these models.

@JoleneLin78 Год назад

just purchased this Yacht Master in 29mm- not much to look at online indeed but when I tried it in person I fell in love- gotten so many compliments wearing it and the 29mm fits my smaller wrist and the platinum bezel and dial is just so premium. And the dial really does shimmer/look different under different lighting conditions. The timer functionality of the bezel is also very useful. I might consider getting another Yacht Master in the same size in Yellow Gold + Steel + Yellow Gold Bezel and White Dial (also at a steal) for interchangeable daily wear because I really appreciate this smaller size and love the style of the Yacht Master (and the timer functionality)

Now I'm planning to give to my wife for our 25th anniversary her own Yacht Master (ref. 169622). Awesome video, keep up the good work Teddy!

@andrewlu123 3 года назад

Awesome video, Teddy. I agree that the Milgauss is among the most underrated of the Rolex professional line. Picked up that exact model earlier this year and adore it. Low key. Unique. Less recognized. Tough and reliable. Just the way I like it. Great content, as always. Keep it up!

@sgoody1 3 года назад

Great picks. Yacht master especially cool. Love the red second hand, and that it’s so similar to a sub, but different. A Rolex sports watch that manages to be understated while at the same time being premium. I am sure it’s one of those watches that when it really gets on collectors radars it will suddenly appreciate in value.

@jacolen3791 3 года назад

The first Rolex that caught my eye was the YM. It was different looking than the sub and GMT and I never wanted to be walking around with the same watch that most Rolex wearers had. Then I saw the Explorer ll and fell in love. I got my hands on one and I've had it for 20 years! I still may pick up a YM, still a very nice, solid looking watch for the price.

@cliffwheeler7357 3 года назад

Three years ago I purchased my 116622 YachtMaster 40 which is the blue dial model with red seconds hand and lettering. The bracelet has been improved and has easy link adjustment. I adore the watch, and I think it is one of the finest Rolex models in their catalogue. I get lots of favourable comments about the watch, which is very satisfying.

@Nefville 3 года назад

Here is why I like you Teddy, not just because your reviews are some of the best but because I found a new Air King for sale (maybe) and I don't know how it will fit my 6.25" wrist. I know the Milgauss is the exact same watch so thank you Teddy - I think I can pull it off.

For a more casual look, I'll put a rubber-b strap with the green stripe on it. Very cool 😎. I think the strap with the red stripe would look good on the black dial version.

@anthonysmith2982 3 года назад

Hey Teddy. Firstly - nice jacket. Secondly - it baffles me that the Milgauss is often touted as Rolex's most under appreciated watch. To me it's their most charismatic. The Yacht-Master I get. It looks more like a watch that Rolex's competition would make than a Rolex watch, per sé. I don't dislike it, but I would never buy it. The Milgauss on the other hand would be one of my prime contenders if I was in the market for a Roller.

@davecurran7669 3 года назад

Teddy - Great review of both watches. For me it was love at first site with the 2008 16622 YM ‘Z’ series - hard to photograph well...but absolutely stunning in person! If folks out there are concerned about the clasp on the bracelet ... don’t be. I was too initially, but once on, it really gives you that ‘old school Rolex feel ‘ but on a modern double platinum 40’ Rolex. I also have a 41’ 2018 126300 Datejust (fantastic watch) and it has the newer bracelet . Honestly, even with the extension link features, the newer style seems grips your wrist a bit aggressively, whereas the older style just seems more comfortable IMHO. One more thought about the 16622; while I am so taken with its overall style, I can’t help to think that while latter YMs went in a different style direction with bracelet and dials, it seems to me the 16622 was the inspiration for the 18948 Rolex Masterpeice Day/Date (@ 30k plus) and that whole style in general. In summary, like you said Teddy, I think the 16622 (along with Milgaus and the Explorer II) is/are the best deals out there for a daily modern Rolex with rotating bezel and added clasp lock for security that few consider. Take a chance and rediscover this gem from Rolex!

@donkremer6019 3 года назад

No one should be concerned about the 16622's bracelet. While it has the older clasp, links are fully solid, including centers.

@Nexus.Achiles 3 года назад

I own the 116622 platinum dial, very similar to its predecessor 16622 albeit with a modern milled clasp, a blue parachrom hairspring, blue chromalight and aligned end links (there are other small differences like the shape of the case, hue of the red lettering and the font of the numerals on the bezel). It's the ideal watch for the days I feel like wearing something understated and refined. I like to call it the classy Sub. I'm a big fan of the monochrome look. The 116622 used to be a bargain too but not anymore, it's come up in price quite a bit. The Milgauss is a playful and funky Rolex piece. I find it fun to look at, but I'm not sure I'd actually want it on my wrist. Cool watch nonetheless.

@eugenbotnaru9155 3 года назад

this is what i've been saying since i got into watches, both the Milgauss and YM were instant loves for me and i was just amazed to see they are pretty much the most affordable Rolexes (along with the Explorer 2 which i also love, these 3 are basically my all time favourites from Rolex). I personally prefer the YM over the Submariner, much more unique. Try to find a Sub alternative and you will find thousands, in all price ranges, try to find a YM alternative, not many of them, right? Great video Teddy!!

The most under appreciated Rolex has to be the 16622. You get the same aesthetic as the Sub in Platinum - I cant for the life of me understand why this model does not trade for more. I have one and would never ever sell it. And if the bracelet bothers you, Rolex will always sell you a new one.
