Omegafan82 0 Posted April 16, 2019 Does my yachtmaster look good enough to stop worrying about buying another one ? Keep thinking the gen bezels are flat but don't think they are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deju 1,873 Posted April 16, 2019 Not a model I’m into or have any knowledge of but I don’t like the lume application or the SeL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omegafan82 0 Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) I'm more concerned about the dial and bezel. I've messed up the end links by taking on and off Edited April 16, 2019 by Omegafan82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mecko 4 Posted April 16, 2019 Looks like a JF 116622? Best inlay is the noob. It has the better fonts. The noob with the platinum dial is better. Better crystal, better dots, beter platinum dial, better inlay, better bezel clicks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deju 1,873 Posted April 16, 2019 If you’re that concerned please don’t wear a Rolex. Fact: even if you wear Gens people will assume fake. Not worth your stress over a watch that literally no one will notice. No replica is 100% and chances are if you get called out the person doesn’t even know but is guessing to gauge your reaction.

automatico 4 Posted April 16, 2019 "Does my yachtmaster look good enough to stop worrying about buying another one ?" How long has the YM been in production...20 years? I do not know but what I do know is I have never seen anyone wearing a YM and have gone to a lot of watch shows and have traveled all over the southeastern USA. Imho your watch should be fine because few people have ever seen one. Otoh this statement is True as True can be: "Fact: even if you wear Gens people will assume fake."

BadApple 13,081 Posted April 16, 2019 Using a Kodak in a coal cellar when having a bout of the DT's is not the best conditions to take photos and ask people an opinion. Go outside and use your Iphone mate !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adit 642 Posted April 16, 2019 Presentable enough, but not a patch on the YM II in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted April 17, 2019 14 hours ago, Omegafan82 said: Now you posted the better photos I think it looks good! The only thing maybe you want to change is the springbar at the 12 o clock lug the endlinks fit nice and tight at the bottom but looser at the top so potentially a fatter or just better quality springbar could fix that (could also be the bar is near failing and you might lose the watch) so check that little issue out and then you can enjoy the watch, no one will ever be able to spot its a rep unless you hand it to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
