Hi Everyone!
Newly acquired yachtmaster. Not positive of the factory.
Any ideas?

Dang, well, is this worth putting in a better movement? Would a rep watchmaker be able to upgrade this? Does the rest of the watch look like a decent replica. I mean it has all of the things I know to look for , even has the crown etched at 6oclock on the crystal….
The bracelet feels a bit flimsy and light for sure.
Only paid 200. So I could put in some cash to make it a better rep. Or should I cut my loses and junk it?

Honestly, that's a $50 Canal street rep. Look at the dial, bad fitment, datewheel.... we can go on and on. Happens to all of us at some point. Chalk it up to a learning experience and move on.

Thanks for your input. Been coveting one for so long I think I was blinded by the price. Dumb mistake….. I’ll learn from it.

@Kosakowski I’ve had almost every variant of this watch and own the gen. The Clean version is 99% similar to the gen. If you get one of those you won’t regret it.

Are they easy to come bye. Is there a wait? Not sure if yachtmaster is the one I would chose if I had the choice.

I still think the cheapos are quite pretty watches, wear it when you play golf or use a jackhammer or something like that. Plus you can do fun experiments like swimming in them and betting on how many trips it takes until it leaks.
