Rolex Yachtmaster ad in the New Yorker

[benjamin8801]

There is an ad in last week's NYer for the YM which shows the Rolex name going around the inner bezel. Has anyone seen this on a YM? Is it possible that they updated the bracelet as well and perhaps there is a justification for the price increase? I had a YM from 2001 and this was not the case.

For what it's worth, this is my first post. I left Rolex when I sold my YM and bought an IWC Mark XVI, but I just bought a GMT II last week and I'm back!

I've been thinking about another YM but I'm waiting for an update (not the YMII) does anyone know anything about an update to the original YM?

Welcome back! I dont think thats a new update, i think its a couple of years old (like 5) Someone will give you the correct answer soon:)

I've found a picture of a YM with the rehaut engraving. It's sold, but here it is, for info . . . .

Hardly a update its only a few marketing fonts and makes no difference to the watch function in any way.Its just purely cosmetic the main bit the movement has remained unchanged since 1988/9 except for some now have the in-house escapement parts but thats not such a big deal.And it was around 2004 serial F/D series on some models the Rolex Rolex Rolex on the Rehaut ring started.
