Today, I'm going to be reviewing the Rolex Yacht Master 40, platinum and steel, reference 126622. I'm going to talk to you about the bezel, the dial, the case, the bracelet, the movement, and then give you my thoughts on it. So let's dive right in. First, let's talk about the dial. The dial uses a rhodium dial and it has these luminescent hour markers and they're, what's called maxi hour markers with a high legible chroma light display and a long-lasting luminescence. And here's what it looks like at nighttime if you have it lit up, or if you have it charged and then you go into the dark, this is what it would look like. Okay, now they may make this as of 2020 in both a rhodium and a blue finish. They used to also make it in a silver, but they discontinued that. So you have rhodium, which is kind of like gray or blue. Now I'm going to talk to you about the bezel. Now, the bezel is a bi-directional bezel and it's actually made of platinum. In fact, Rolex calls it their combination of oyster steel and platinum, and they call Rolesium, Rolesium. It's a really strange name. Anyways, all it means is that it's made of platinum and steel. Now the steel part is this outer part, the part that encases the bezel, which my pinky, my pinky is rubbing against. It's kind of like this rigid edge right here. And the platinum is this part right here, that, that you see the, the markers, the 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, and so on. So that part's actually made a platinum, which is what makes this watch so expensive, or partly what makes it so expensive is that it has this platinum bow. There's very few watches that combine both platinum and steel, and this is one of them. So if you liked that look, and you like having platinum in your watch, this would probably be the one. It's actually the only sports watch that does that. Now let's move on to the movement. The movement is cased inside this model block middle case with the screw down case back and winding crown. And it's 40 millimeters. That means from my thumb to my index finger inside this case. There's nothing written on the back. But the case, the movement itself is going to be a 3235 caliber movement, that it was, it used to be a 31 35, 3135. And it's since been replaced by the 3235, which has a precision of plus minus two seconds a day after casing. And it also has an paramagnetic blue parachroma hairspring, high performance paraflex shock absorber, which also has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Now the old 3135 had a power reserve of 24, 48 hours. So the main difference between this movement, the 3235, and the 3135 is that it has a bit longer power reserve, 70 hours versus 48 hours. And it's more precise. Plus minus two versus plus minus seven. Okay, now let's move on to the bracelet. The bracelet is still going to use an oyster clasp. Now, the clasp itself, as you see it here is a folding oyster lock safety clasp. What does that mean? You close the top and you have a second class that covers over the top to prevent it from coming up, coming out when you're doing sports. It also has an easy link, five millimeter comfort extension link. And that is right here. That's extended now, five extra millimeters. Okay, so let's move on. I've talked to you about almost everything except what I think about it. So this watch replaces the old reference 116622. And it's now a 126622. Somebody told me that the lugs were different. I'm not sure I see that. Lugs actually look exactly the same to me. The only thing that I see different is the movement. Instead of having a 3135, it has a 3235 movement. All else is the same. The bracelets the same, it's still 40 millimeters. They still make it in rhodium. And that's it. So I'm going to try this on for you.
