Rolex Yacht Master II, an Underestimated Watch for your next Purchase!







Rolex Yacht master II Pink gold Two Tone Watch, Your next Purchase Consideration!
I started to love this watch since Beginning of last year as I saw many of my friends wearing it.

Most of them told me that it is worth to purchase as it is 44mm, and it is not as common as standard watch Submariner for most of the MongKokers!

It is beautiful as it is pink gold two tone, looks very eye catching with the Yacht master II engraved on the Ceramic Blue Bezel. And the layout design is not as crowded as we can expect with so many function on it. One Disappointment is there is no “Date” as Daytonas don't..

The Rolex Yacht-Master II was unveiled in 2007 and first introduced in March 2010 with the models 116688 Yellow Gold and 116689 White Gold. One year later, in 2011, Rolex introduced model 116681 which was made from steel and everose gold.

At Baselworld 2013, the watch was available for the first time in 904L steel, model 116680, fitted with a Cerachrom bezel insert in blue ceramic.

Early Yacht-Master II used Rolex's 4160 movement but with the introduction of model 116680 in 2013, the movement was updated to the 4161 movement specifically designed for the Yacht-Master II.

4160 movement is known to have mechanical issue when you try to reset it while the counter is running, later on this bug was fixed on 4161.

4161 Movement
I believe that the final dial layout was a result of many round of vote on different approaches.

It is a chronograph movement with the complication of a programmable timer that counts down ten minutes. The countdown mechanism was primarily designed for regattas where the Starting sequence can last up to 10 minutes. The movement took nearly 4 years to create and is made up from 360 parts. The movement also has a 72-hour power reserve.

If the wearer has started the countdown either too early or too late then the countdown can be synchronized. By pressing the start/stop button, located at the 2 o'clock position, and then pressing the reset button, located at the 4 o'clock position, the minute countdown hand re-positions itself to the nearest minute while the seconds countdown hand returns to 0.

The mechanism makes it possible for the wearer to program in advance of and official countdown time and then start the timer once the countdown has begun and the mechanism can be programmed to count down 0 to 10 minutes. The countdown feature can be locked and unlocked by twisting the bezel through 90 degrees. The Yacht-Master II was one of the first watches in the world to have a bezel that worked in conjunction with the movement.

List price
Ref 116680 stainless steel $145,300
Ref 116681 Rose Gold and Stainless steel $195,000

My new Toy Rolex Yacht master II Ref 116680


My New YM II REf 116680



Rolex Yacht Master II White Dial Blue Bezel Stainless Steel Automatic Mens Watch 116680

Yacht Master was once not my favourite or preferred model for Rolex just because I don't have a yacht, nor I am not a master!

Until today, before a friend passed this Lovely Huge Watch to me, I took it out and look at it closely with my glasses removed. Well, I started to feel, what else Rolex Designer would make a better layout on the Dial. They are nicely arranged but it is not crowded. The Regatta Triangle Pointer starts to down counter at 10 Minutes point Clockwise, it has split second function. the Arc formed 10 minutes counter set at the middle of the dial clearly been read without difficulty at Sea, a 44mm case would be needed for such function at sea. And A Blue Ceramic bezel is beautifully set at the outer rim of the watch to tell you are about to start a yacht game at Blue sea…

Once I know how to set the Counter, I think that Rolex Engineer has done months of painstaking job in design in the sequence, on how to set the Counter with just the same Crown for setting the time.

The Early model was told having problem if you reset it at midst of the count down process, but now Rolex has totally taken care of this issue, beside, I am OK to wear this 44mm size watch which I think it is big enough to tell people 15 M away I am wearing A yacht master!

This watch is 100% Stainless steel case with a stainless steel bracelet. Bi-directional rotating bezel. White dial with blue hands and index hour markers. Minute markers around the outer rim. Dial Type: Analog. Small seconds sub-dial. Automatic movement. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Screw down crown. Case diameter: 44 mm. Round case shape. Oysterlock clasp. Water resistant at 100 meters / 330 feet. Functions: hour, minute, second. Luxury watch style. Watch label: Swiss Made. Rolex Yacht Master II White Dial Blue Bezel Stainless Steel Automatic Mens’ Watch with Ref 116680WAO.
List Price : HKD$145,300

Someone could possible get me at a decent discount of 2X percent, so why not!?

Precaution on Your Yacht Master II

Operation precaution on your Yacht Master II
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II was first launched in 2007 as a slightly larger version of the original series watch, the Yacht-Master, which first went on sale in 1992.
The Yacht-Master II primary distinction is that its Oyster casing measures 44 mm while the casing of the original line measures 40 mm.
The Regatta-countdown chronograph, which was developed exclusively for Rolex, is the key feature of the Yacht-Master II.
If you have this watch, don’t try to reset it whilst the Countdown Chronograph is still running, or there is chance to cause Damages….!!
This should be advised by Rolex AD sales when you buy this watch, however sometimes you may forget…
This is an advice from Managers of Rolex AD.

Rolex Yacht Master Ref 116622 Blue Dial


There have been a lot of positive comment on this Ref 116622 Yacht master Blue Dial Sunray.


Someone names this to be the most beautiful Rolex in 2012 after Beselworld 2012, it has been on sales in certain countries Starting November, yet to be in HK up to now.

This is a 40mm Stainless steel with PT900 Platinum Bezel, Beautifully laser cut and hand polished!

Rolex had an “entirely rethought” bezel and this is the major improvement (in addition to the bracelet) in that it does 120 clicks in both directions which should be smoother/crisper than before. As for the bracelet, this Yacht-Master has a solid link bracelet with the spring-loaded Oysterlock clasp.

In My opinion, it is much sexist than the Sand-blasted Platinum dial, But this Blue Dial may not be Platinum, might be white gold base!?

I am sure this is one of the hottest Models from Rolex in 2013, Take note and We should keep some money for this. Well, some Chinese does not like Blue Colour Rolex for it interprets “ Difficult ‘ in Cantonese pronounciation of “Blue”!

Well, I do not mind as the colour is un-resistibly Smart!

Outsdie HK is selling at USD$12,875 ( HKD$100,038)

HK List price is Just HKD$89,800 with additional 5% discount. that is much cheaper than you buy elsewhere!

Rolex Yacht Master Ref 16622

Rolex Yacht Master is not one of my favourite series from Rolex, as it does not carry any important story, history of an adventure, expedition or exploration. The one shown here is stainless steel watch with a Platinum Bezel.
