Awesome pics. Loved the review. More because of my recently acquired YM in SSYG white MOP dial with rubies. YM is a must have for Rolex lovers.

Does anyone notice some YM has extra space in the "swiss made" writing on the dial? I mean between the word SWISS and MADE.

Space between "Swiss" and "Made"
Quote:
For example: "Swiss_Made" vs "Swiss_____Made" Help? |

Yes this is what mine looks like as well. I'm surprised a lot of the experts don't have more to say about it.
I posted something about this on the general board since it gets more viewers but only got a response from "Tools" (who is the one that actually did this review). He said it could simply be a different printer since they have to change them often to keep the print on the dials sharp and clear. It still seems like a fairly significant difference though and knowing how into detail a lot of these watch experts are, I'm surprised it's not more talked about. Is it just the Yacht-Master or do the others have this same issue (like subs, gmts, etc..)? Input appreciated! |

I should say it's like this--"Swiss_._Made" I think that's far apart but I'm new at this.

Apparently it's not just the "swiss made" writings that has variation, the red yachtmaster font also came with either bold or thinner font. A gentleman in the other forum just made me notice it. Thought of sharing this as a fellow YM owner

I had a friend ask me about this... Have any yachtmasters ever come with diamond-dials? Or are all these yachtmaster diamond-dials that I see after-market modifications? I was under the impression that none ever came with diamonds on the face.
Thanks in advance. |

The SS/PT version is all steel. The TT version is steel and gold, nothing diffrent from amy other Rolex other than the clasp on the YM has yet to receive the latest upgrade that most of the others have recieved.

i have ym hands fitted to my 16613 , the fatter min hand really balances things up , in my eyes . had to fit a full set of hands for the lumes to match .
i read somewhere its the thinner case back that makes the different water proof rating. |
