The Rolex Yachtmaster

[EdgeMonster]

I love this watch. Always have. It got me good! The moment I saw it. But... It's hard to resist the temptation to add it to my collection. I just love platinum so much. But I'm truly a GMT Master collector at heart, so my focus has always been on the GMT line. And just an fyi: Someone stated the two-tone stainless steel & yellow gold Yacht Master has hollow center links. Which is true. As is the case with two-tone Tudor bracelets...center links are gold but they're hollow. However, that is NOT the case for reference 16628. As the very 1st, ORIGINAL Yacht Master and first new model introduced in decades when it debuted in 1992, Rolex would never produce a full gold debut piece with a bracelet comprised of hollow links! That watch has a fully SOLID 18K gold bracelet -- center links and all. It always did, from 1992 until it was discontinued.
