Yachtmaster II

Some dealers have different versions of the 6 o'clock sub-dial, but are are misprinted either a 1-31 month/calendar or 1-24 day/calendar. The crown guards are also way off; ironic for a Rolex replica, these aren't thick enough. Neither one of these flaws allow this piece to be believable.

Wait for the next generation to come out--probably within 6 months.

That ebay auction is the first peek I have had up close to this new design. I like the new clasp. Not only does it have a flip lock, but the foldover is actually made of 2 pieces. It is spring loaded not just pressure clipped into place like the old oyster bracelets. This is following the lead of the Rolesor clasp on the more recent day dates. Another good innovation by Rolex. The dial is but ugly however.

I hope the rep makers get a good rep of this clasp soon. It will probably be the standard on all Rolex models if it isn't already.

"Notes: This watch comes complete with all the box, manuals, certificate, etc. This is a new model that was just recently released by Rolex and extremely hard to find. Most dealers do not even have this watch in stock. There is currently a waiting list for this watch."

TRANSLATION:

"We got suckered into taking this monstrosity on trade with a formerly valued client, who unluckily had all the paperwork we were hoping he'd lost when we said we'd trade but only with everything. This is a new model that was just recently released by Rolex and extremely hard to stomach. Most AD's do not even have this watch in stock because they know they can't move it. We hope there is someone stupid enough, with a big enough bank account to take this white elephant off our hands, because we don't want to wait until it's a vintage collectible to get most of our money back out of it."

...at least the new version has (1) a complication and (2) a connection to yachting

This is what makes this watch completely unrepable:

"oh is that the new Yachtmaster? Cool! How does it work?"

The movement is probably too much for our friendly Chinese engineering squad.

What a POS....they may as well bring out a 42mm or 44mm Rolex and break all molds instead of making a sh*t looking watch like this. Even though a 44mm Rolex would [censored] off the purists, it could not be as bad for the brand as this thing....well either way I would rock a 44mm Rolex son!!!

With the big watches from Panerai and Breitling these days, the only type of rollie I would consider would be something in 44mm... the others just seem too small now. :( Not that I was ever a big fan of them to start with.

On the topic at hand, although not exactly a good look for the YM 2, it is such a good 'functional' watch for its purpose.
