Yacht Master 37 Movement

Not sure if this has been asked, but I just noticed when setting my wife's YachtMaster 37 with the 2236 movement, the crown action is reversed compared to my other Rolex models. Winding the crown forward (clockwise) sets the time back, and vice-versa. I bought it NIB from an AD, so I know it is authentic, just was not aware Rolex made this change with this movement. Is this the same on the 40mm model or is it specific to the 37?

.


... and the 32xx serie , and the 9001 serie ... and many other Rolex movements.

It depends on the architecture of part of the movement. You add a wheel somewhere and that reverse the rotation of the hands.

22xx movement turn that way, older 21xx turn the other way.
