The Rolex Yacht-Master is amongst the most sought after types of sport watches in the world. Recently Rolex released their new version of the Rolex Yacht-Master. While both watches are similar in some aspects, there are certain facets that differentiate them. The size, gender available, material, and some features have altered to make the Yacht-Master II unique.
The Rolex Yacht-Master II is available only for Men's at a size of 44 mm while the Yacht - Master is available at Men's, Midsize, and Ladies at sizes of 40 mm, 35mm, and 29mm accordingly. This increment in size is attributed to the new style of bigger watches, making the new Yacht-Master II a heavier watch.
While the Yacht-Master comes in Stainless Steel, Two Tone, and Yellow Gold ; the newer model comes only in White Gold or Yellow Gold. Both of the watches can come with bezels in Platinum and Yellow Gold bidirectional. However the Gold bezel on the Yacht-Master II does not can come with a gold insert like the Yacht - Master but a blue ceramic insert.
When it comes to characteristics the Yacht-Master II has all the characteristics the older model has plus a few great characteristics. Without doubt the most distinct of them is the programmable 10 minute countdown timer that is very useful for Regattas. Other attribute is the Easylink patented system made by Rolex. It gets easy to widen the size of the bracelet of up to 5mm with great convenience. With the Triplock system there is absolutely no need to worry about water coming inside the watch. It completely seals off the watch creating a new layer of protection. The Triplock is displayed on the crown by three dots below the Rolex emblem on the crown. The Yacht-Master II comes with the Blue Parachrom Hairspring, which happens to be an oscillator hairspring made of ferromagnetic alloys and does this watch more resistant to impacts and magnetic fields.
Both models are beyond doubt beautiful horologes, and both are currently being created by Rolex. It is actually up to you to decide if you like the classic look and more conservative size or the bigger and more innovated model. There is another significant constituent that may conduce to the decision since the Yacht-Master II is higher priced than the Yacht-Master. For example the Yellow Gold Men's Yacht-Master Approximate Retail value is $ 25, 000 while the Yacht-Master II Men's 18k is priced at $ 33, 650. The price of this watch is so overwhelming that if I had my way I'm gonna learn how to sell rolex online.
