The first fake Yachtmaster II

It the first fake Yachtmaster II that i saw and it's horrible

It seems that replica dealers will never stop

It comes with a COSC certification

Here is a pic :

Ιt's not scary at all

This is the worst piece of junk i ever saw in my life

First of all there is no Yachtmaster II with a black dial, also the chapter ring branding is much more different than in real watches the horseshoe on the dial is yellow whereas in genuine watches is blue there are lots of inaccuracies

I was playing with a YG one at my AD today. I know they're not popular on TRF, and I would personally not buy one unless I won the lottery, but FWIW, it's a pretty neat watch. Very heavy, nice to look at in person, a departure from the Rolex norm, and the movement is quite a bit more sophisticated than anything Rolex has introduced in recent history.

What movement does the fake use? Some sort of highly modified Japanese?

Rolex releases its first complication in decades, and it's this thing? While it's neat, and I wouldn't say no to one as a free gift, I can't see myself buying one even if I did win the lottery.

I don't think that the countdown function is working

Rolex seizes as many replicas as they can but it is estimated that there are about twice or even three times as many fakes as how many watches Rolex makes in a year. Rolex releases around 800,000 timepieces each year but there are a couple million fakes released over that same time.

Its such a terrible thought to comprehend how the numbers play that way.
