Clean Factory New Release 40mm YachtMaster (Comparison vs. Genuine)

[spaceman007]

Not sure what you're expecting but there's gen watches with worse date alignment. Yours is almost perfect

Really? it looks like the 25 is drunk
I need to compare with my other rolex reps tbh

Rehaut alignment is so unimportant Tbh. However you should ask for better pictures of the 12 triangle, impossible to tell from that angle

Everyone got a different focus. However, I've learnt that it's usually the easiest way to identify a Rolex rep from a gen by looking at the rehaut alignment.

Just recieved rhodium from CF. There is a lot of noise going on in the movement. Anyone with same problem?

Mine has no problems at all, works just fine

 

[RonP]

Here is my QC photos, seems i have the same issue, perhaps not as bad as yours. Were you able to get a better one?

I cancelled my order to buy a gen of another watch.

As always I think it's better to wait for a V2 or V3 if you can ;D.

Like I said previously in this thread, Rhodium is very close to my Gen!

what would be the very visible difference you think? or obvious tell?

Rehaut: look at the alignment around the 10 o'clock marker

I thought the bezel is a tell. isnt it? i have not seen any brand new gen vs brand new clean side by side. is bezel same like gen?

not 100%, but very close and hardly to see, if you don't have a gen for direct comparison. search for a thread here that shows very detailed comparison pics

does anyone who has perfect align 25?
or
All CF yacht master has the date wheel "25" number slightly elevated 5 flaws?

 

[spaceman007]

I have seen a bunch of QC photos and they all show the same flaw. In general though the watch is fine, I'll probably keep mine and get annoyed one day a month lol.

Yes, i have the same problem, and the 25 is also awful

Here is my Franken build - CF Base, Gen Dial, Gen Hands, Gen Crystal & Gen Datewheel with VS3235 movement installed.

If you're going to install a gen dial, then gen hands, crystal & date wheel are a must as well. My opinion anyway. Beautiful watch.

 

[Ilovwatchesto]

Another great rep.

For a long time the yachmaster was an easy pass for me, but it's really growing on me.

 

[LGeek]

Does anyone know if a crystal swap on this watch can be done with an ordinary crystal press, or do Rolex crystals require a special tool?

 

[KacperK]

Does anyone know a TD (or website) where I can order some extra bracelets for this Yachtmaster? Those polished 904L centerlinks got scratched in a matter of days

Some TDs have an "accessories" section on their websites,for example jtime. Make sure to ask the td if the bracelet you want will fit your YM, sometimes they don't according to model And factory.

Recieved another cf yachtmaster from Steve. 25 still looks slightly off . Not sure if it's worth another rl. Seems won't be corrected anytime soon

You have to be kidding me, there is nothing wrong with that catch, I've seen gen Rolex far worse than that.
