Thanks!
your Dealer is mistaken..

This watch (the YM) is a replica..

(The correct number would be 16622.. The YM does not come in Sterling Silver, it would be Stainless Steel with Platinum dial and bezel)

Although the Sub looks to be an early Gold model 16808, I would want to see the movement and better photos if it came from the same source..

Thank you to everyone who chimed in!
I went to an authorized dealer this morning, not a jeweler, and they confirmed the board consensus.
The YM is 100% fake/replica.
The Sub is 100% authentic.

Thanks again!

Well at least you are at 50%, the yacht is a decent fake if the combo was correct

As others have said that yachtmaster is a fake. That combo did not exist and the bracelet number does not match the watch type.
