TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
Watch is in overall excellent condition. The steel case shows surface scratches, small scuffs, and a few nicks, while the case back displays light marks. The bezel remains very well defined and the platinum insert is very clean, with only a few hairline marks visible. The dial and hands are like new. It is fitted with a bracelet showing signs of wear between the links, along with light scuffs to the polished centre links and clasp. The bracelet is fitted with 10 links, 3 of which are removable, and fits approximately a 7” wrist.
Our Perspective
An iconic watch that has still only been around for a short period in the grand scheme of things, it is interesting to see just how much the Rolex Yacht-Master has gripped collectors with its luxury-focused eye for fashionable design and functional spirit.
