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.
