New update for the SA3135 YachtMaster 16622

[theskull]

I just saw this on puretime website:

http://puretime.co/product/yacht-master-16622-best-edition-silver-dial-on-new-clasp-ss-bracelet-sa3135/

It seems that they updated the clasp, superlumed the dial and hands, and put AR on the crystal!!

They didn't update the pics yet only the description. Already emailed Angus to know what else has been updated on this yachtmaster.. And when we will see the new pics..

What do you think? I think this yachtmaster is pretty good if the AR is correct and good superlumed dial. I would concider buying this watch if everything checks out

 

[Luthier]

AR on Rolex??? Really?

 

[Albieee]

I am waiting for a YM from sead at the moment, for 159 dollars you can't go wrong! I think its the same case set as the original SA3135 too

 

[theskull]

Not sure what to think about this watch yet... And already ordered a yuki 3135 for my sub project...

New Yachtmaster.........

The Rolesium YachtMaster from Sead is a great watch. I have one. And for the money, $159.00, you cant beat it even at twice the price. No rehaut to worry about, good A2836movt, and no AR BS to worry about. AR on a Rolex..............hmmmmmm. Only on the Cyclops magnifier!! :facepalm: Can someone post where on earth that can be read, that the whole crystal is now ARd ..........if it is indeed the case with "this" particular model, so I can hammer my new YachtMaster to bits !!!! :cheers:Only the newest and the latest have AR ONLY on the Cyclops !!!! The one that Sead offers is not the latest model, that is why it is so close to a Gen. !!!! It is in my opinion, second only to the one TC offers at 1/3rd the price and that my friends is great in my book!

One from sead is a good watch for the money
But crap crown guards are deal breaker for me..Also no gen construction so what is good for someone is crap for someone else lol

 

[watchguyusa1]

THE sead case is nothing like the sa3135 YM case, the sa3135 fits only a 3135 rolex, sa3135 or a eta 2824, the sead case is a average descent YM for $150 bucks , the sa3135 has correct U shape crownguards and a awesome bezel insert too

Nitpicking a crappy watch.........

"what is good for someone is crap for someone else" ..........so what is not crap out there? Nitpicking on someone else's watch with a loupe and NOT mentioning what IS better, is for me, simply nitpicking on a soapbox. Perfectionism for $159.00 is simply not possible. Heck, even TC can't get his YM perfect. I say for that amount, [$159.00] it is a heck of a good deal. If I want better, I'll go to an AD. :

 

[giobo]

You are wrong..TC YM is indeed perfect..
I told the watch was crap compared to a watch double price up like the one watchguyusa1 reviewed..His YM was in fact great for the money !!!Best value for money Ym maybe..
Tds used to sell a good tw Ym edition which had a lot of great stuff in 200$ range.Never understood why they stoped selling

I sold watchguy1 a ym and he said it was the best he ever had, that one I got from ryan. IIRC..

I just love me some YachtMaster!

 

[eVojlib]

I'll second that

Perfection ? ..............

I stand by what I say when I say TCs watch is NOT perfect. A nice one that sets the standard in reps is what it is. All I have to do is handle the watch, set the time, turn the hands, and manually wind it. All in about 30 seconds, screw the crown back on, and hand it back to you. Period. My brother in law has both, the gen and TCs "perfect" clone. Sorry, no dice. Very close, but never perfect. Don't even try to walk into an AD with any Rep, ANY Rep. We have fantastic Reps., but none will ever be perfect. Let us not use that term loosely. We all wish for perfection, in our dreams, or walking into an AD with a wad of money. That is perfection. Perfection to me is having the real thing. :cheers: And that folks is why we all lurk around this forum. Waiting, waiting, for the unattainable "holy grail" to drop from the sky. One day. One day. ...............

A rep to gen comparison from you would be great and helpful man !!

The new Yachtmaster SA3135 V2 is indeed an upgrade, especially the bezel. The first version is good but the bezel numeral is too close to the edge when close up and take a look.

The V2 bezel is more refined and almost perfect with good gaps in between the numeral of the ring line. Not to forget, it has the SA3135 movt which hands move exactly like real one. The date font is quite dead on too.

The only complain will be the dial which for many years still the same old crap rep dial. Probably rolesium coloring of the dial is expensive to replica. The biggest give away of the rep dial will be the red "YACHT-MASTER" wording.

If you manage to drop a gen dial, I will say the new SA3135 V2 yacht-master is almost as good as real.

Your Kidding! Rolex is better,,,, Dah! I'm glad you figured that out.... waiting for the unattainable is not what I'm hanging around for.....

Does anyone have photos of this V2 on the wrist. The PT photos looks quite good.

The updated clasp is a bonus as long as the engraving is clean...

Seriously thinking about trying this out, only thing stopping me is the +$400 price tag, however this would certainly be a budget friendlier foundation to a franken over a TC or BK WM9.
