Does this YM 40 116622 Appear Off???

https://m.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-Yacht-M...oAAOSwA8Nat7Us


Maybe it's just me but the yatch master dial blue lettering coloration does not properly match the second hand??

Price seems abnormally low too?

Hands and dial are after market custom - its a bit of a "FRANKEN in my opinion

"This watch was just refinished and new custom dial and hands were installed.

I just bought this reference from DavidSW. This EBay price is under market for used by enough to cause concern. I’d advise STAY AWAY. DavidSW has the real thing on his website and 100% genuine. There’s a reason he’s so highly rated as a trusted seller here. I’d not risk this anywhere else, and especially on eBay.

Appreciate the feedback but believe it's still fake. Keyword replica for this model # in any search engine and you'll clearly see this dial face matches replica variants. Also what's up with the rehaut? No Rolex etchings. Sorry but this is false.

Appreciate others considering reporting it to ebay so it saves a would be unsuspecting buyer from disaster!!! Lets get this down pls.

Only later 16622 had the rehault engraving.

The clasp is also fake, meaning all Rolex logos on this watch are fake parts (although the correct clasp is supplied).

The seller seems to be making a business out of putting fake dials and clasps on Yachtmasters.

Here are two more he's created:

Personally, I dont report FRANKEN or CUSTOM watches if its clearly stated.

Not saying that is correct, just my way
