Do You Want to Sell a Rolex Yacht-Master or Yacht-Master II?

If you have Rolex Yacht-Master (or Yacht-Master II) you’d like to sell, you have an excellent watch, and I’ll very likely make you an offer for it if you bring it to me. I try to keep a substantial inventory of pre-owned Rolexes, and I have a great many customers who like the Yacht-Master and Yacht-Master II.

The Rolex Yacht Master II is the preferred timepiece among Yachting professionals, and that’s not surprising given the watch’s functionality is designed specifically for the sport. You’ll find several components and technological improvements in this Rolex model.

Perhaps the most significant of the improvements is the countdown counter. This counter extends from the 8 o’clock position to the 4 o’clock position, A hand keeps track of the minutes that remain while a seconds hand counts down the seconds. This complication has a start/stop button for the countdown and a reset button for programming and synchronization.

The new generation caliber 4160 movement has a unique design compared to other watches in order to allow for the countdown function. Watch enthusiasts love that it includes a column wheel and a vertical clutch. This movement is resistant to shock and magnetic fields and truly revolutionary in its day. The ring command bezel rotates up to ninety degrees and is used as part of the programmable countdown. The design makes it appropriate as a utility watch for sport or for fashion. In fact, for those wanting a very bold statement, it can work as a dress watch.

If you have a Yacht-Master II you’d like to sell, I’d like to buy it. Give me a call or drop by my La Jolla showroom. I can promise you that my staff and I are committed to a fair deal. So get in touch. You’ll be glad you did.
