The fake Rolex‘s Yacht-Master and their Yacht-Master II are very different models even though they have a similar name. Historically, the “II” added at the end of the replica Rolex watch names denotes an evolution or upgrade to the existing line of watches. However, the rolex Yacht-Master II is not an update to any of Rolex’s previous watch lines, and is completely unlike anything that has ever appeared before in a Rolex catalog.
Originally launched in 1992 as a luxury-oriented version of the traditional Rolex sport replica watch, the original Yacht-Master did not have any unique characteristics or complications that would make it specifically tailored to boating or regatta races.
With a 40 mm case, traditional 3-hand display, and a dial that follows the usual Rolex sport watch design, the appearance of the original Yacht-Master can most accurately be described as a luxury-oriented version of the replica Rolex’s iconic Submariner.
In comparison, the Yacht-Master II is a highly specialized regatta chronograph that features a programmable countdown timer with mechanical memory that allows for on-the-fly synchronization to the official countdown clock. With a case diameter of 44 mm, and a bezel and dial design that are specifically designed for use with its regatta timer, the Yacht-Master II is a watch that was created from the ground up for boat racing.
Although the aesthetic differences between the Yacht-Master and the Yacht-Master II are rather dramatic, an even bigger difference exists in the two movements that are used to power each fake watch. While one movement follows a conventional time plus date setup, the other is a totally particular and highly specialized movement that is unlike anything found in any other watch.
The bezel on the Yacht-Master and the bezel on the Yacht-Master II could not look anything less alike from a visual perspective. Therefore, it can be easy to overlook how differently they function, and how differently the various parts attach to their respective watches.
On the Yacht-Master II, the bright blue, Cerachrom insert with 0 to 10-scale and “Yacht-Master II” name in large letters gives the bezel a very special appearance. The look is so distinct that one could easily overlook the special function of the Yacht-Master II’s bezel. Unlike traditional rotating bezels that are simply connected to the exterior of the watch, the Ring Command bezel on the Yacht-Master II links the outer rotating bezel to the internal works of the movement, allowing for easier and more efficient setting of the Yacht-Master II’s adjustable countdown timer.
Both the Yacht-Master and the Yacht-Master II are amazing watches from Rolex, but however, the two watches could not be any further apart in terms of functionality and appearance. One watch adheres to the traditional form and function of the classic Rolex sports watch, while the other is a completely new approach to the regatta chronograph that is unlike anything that the Rolex replica has ever put forward.

Rolex Comparison between Sea-Dweller and Deepsea
As we all know that the fake rolex Submariner is their most popular and best selling dive watch; Rolex manufactures two other watches that were typically made to out-perform the Submariner at conquering the depths of the ocean. Originally conceived during the 1960s, Rolex’s Sea-Dweller line of ultra-resistant dive replica watches aims to pick up where the Submariner left off, enabling its users to dive deeper and stay at depth longer.
The most recent iteration of the Rolex Sea-Dweller collection, just this model and the older, even more extreme brother, the rolex Deepsea are among the largest and most water resistant watches that Rolex has ever put forward. Although they were both designed with a similar intended purpose, the Sea-Dweller and the Deepsea are totally different watches.
Although the Sea-Dweller has traditionally been a 40 mm watch, the replica watch has seen an increase in size to a 43 mm case diameter. What’s more, while previous iterations of the Sea-Dweller have traditionally had flat crystals, the model, however, adds Rolex’s iconic Cyclops magnification lens to the surface of the crystal. With the exception of the “Sea-Dweller” name printed in red on the surface of the dial, this model most closely resembles a larger version of the contemporary, stainless steel Rolex Submariner.
Despite having a particular and highly specialized case, the fake Rolex watch is powered by Rolex’s proven and reliable Caliber 3135 movement. Rolex has been fitting the Caliber 3135 inside their date-displaying watches since its initial introduction in 1988; however the Caliber 3135 is a rock-solid and notoriously dependable, self-winding movement that has earned a legendary name for being able to bear the test of time.
The outstanding inner bezel on the Deepsea is actually a structural component of the watch’s case design. The extra thick, domed sapphire crystal sits on the inner bezel ring, which is made from extra hard and nitrogen-alloyed steel. As the massive pressures found deep below the ocean’s surface press down on the crystal of the Deepsea, the crystal is supported by the inner bezel ring, allowing the watch to withstand water pressure equivalent to a weight of more than 3 tons on the crystal.
Besides, the case-back on the reference 116660 Deepsea is a design specifically engineered to allow the watch to withstand incredibly high pressures that would otherwise deform traditional case-backs. While the case-back on the Sea-Dweller is the usual, solid, stainless steel variety, the case-back on the Deepsea is a multi-part system, in which a slightly flexible titanium cover sits against the other side of the inner bezel support ring, while a stainless steel, donut-shaped piece screws on top of the titanium cover to hold it all together. As depth increases, the water pressure forces the crystal and the titanium rear cover into the gaskets of the watch, pressing them against its extra hard, nitrogen-alloyed steel support ring. This design allows the seal of the Deepsea to improve as pressure increases, enabling even bigger possible depths.
What are your thoughts on these two models?
Both the replica rolex Sea-Dweller and the Deepsea Rolex are among the most robust and water resistant watches that Rolex has ever manufactured. Generally speaking, the Submariner offers far more moisture protection than they are ever likely to need; however for those that truly require the utmost water resistance, there are no better choices than the Sea-Dweller and the Deepsea.
