The lunette is either gold or platinum on all versions. There is no inlay, the whole rotating bezel system is solid platinum or gold. Scratching or bumping it, is therefor an expensive activity. However, the nice thing about the Yacht-Master replica audemars piguet 15202stoo0944st02 mens watches – if you like them anyway – is that they are quite unsalable for list price (approx 7200 euro for the Rolesium version and 7100 euro for the Rolesor version, approx. 19000 euro for the solid gold version). In general, Rolex collectors aren’t too fond of them because of the bling factor and prefer the tool watch models like the Sub, GMT or Sea-Dweller. They do not want to pay the premium over the tool watch models just for the shiny platinum or gold for example. Why spend 7200 euro on a replica audemars piguet 15202stoo0944st02 mens watches that is basically the same as the 4500 euro model, except for some shiny and platinum accents (lunette and dial).Because of this, it is quite interesting to get a Yacht-Master for almost the same price as a stainless steel sports Rolex.
The watch becomes an instant success, and the crazyness we have seen with the Daytona, also happens to the Yacht-Master. Waiting lists of years and only seen on the wrists of famous people (who are always able to get cool stuff first ). I remember the wanted-list in the German watch magazines I read back then, they always included Yacht-Masters for high prices.I think I once read in one of those magazines, that Rolex wanted to create a luxury version of their existing diver’s watch, the Submariner. Whereas the Submariner (and Sea-Dweller) were/are meant to be tool replica audemars piguet 15202stoo0944st02 mens watches, the Yacht-Master should breathe pure luxury. This probably explains the waterresistancy of – only – 100 meters, instead of 300 meters (or more).Anyway, it wasn’t until 2005 when Rolex introduced the Yacht-Master rolesor (yes, this is the Rolex word for gold/steel combinations). The full size version goes by the reference of 16623 and is available with a few dial combinations. White, mother of pearl (MOP), blue, champagne, brown and silver.
