Yachtmaster 116622

Dear members,

I want to go for the blue YM 16622. Which one ist the best rep in your opinion ? I'll take the Asian 2836 ETA clone as it seems to be most reliable.

I own a Explorer 2 and a Datejust 2 and had since 5 yrs no problems with that movement. In many reviews there are problems either with the dial (color, DW,) the crystal or the bracelet & clasp. So the perfect on is a mix of different factorys ?

NOOB  (for the quality but blue seem slightly off gen)

BP (don't know much about this factory but dial looks good)

J12 (dial looks good, but bad crystal ?)

JF ( looks good but not clear as I heard J12 & JF are the same ?)

I appreciate any help as I read already for hours in many reviews.

Thank you so much

Noob case, JF/j12 v2 dial.

thank you,

but I want it out of the box not a modded one. So the JF ist more gen like but noob has the better case/bracelet ? How's the crystal in the JF, I`ve read some people had a cloudy one. I want good (correct colour) lume and the most gen like dial.

I think that imajedi has given you the same answer I would have given. So if you are looking for an unmodded, out of the box model, and you have listed the pros and cons yourself, I think that you should be able to make your own choice, knowing what you can live with, and what you cannot.
