I have always been a big fan of Yacht Master with a non-metal strap. Being unwilling to spend the gray market pricing, or MSRP, I purchased the two replicas below.
First my review:
The SS YM is 40MM versus the gen 42MM.
Keeps excellent time unless I wear it too often, then looses time. The strap was crap but purchased a quality Oysterflex style on eBay. The three line lettering is not to spec but who would notice. The engraved lettering on the rehaut is good and includes an fair quality crown. The case thickness is close to spec. Overall grade: 4.2 out of 5.
The WG YM is the correct 40MM case. The size of the lettering is correct but the coloring of Rolex and Yacht Master is a shade off. The movement is very reliable. The strap was crap. Fortunately I had a brown strap that I like. The case thickness is close to spec. Overall grade 4.5 out of 5.
Overall I am pleased with my purchase.
