Rolex Yacht-Master Watches

5 pieces

“The jewelry business is about trust. Buy from someone who will still be around, and who treats you with dignity.” Trax, at the counter on 47th Street

Four Yacht-Masters are for sale here, two 40 mm in Everose or steel and platinum, two 44 mm Yacht-Master II.

Both Yacht-Masters bought here in the year were 16622s. Watches are final sale, so bring every question to us.

Every watch here is a pre-owned Rolex Yacht-Master, the sailing watch of the Oyster line. On the 40 mm, the bezel turns both ways. Our listings include the 40 mm in Oystersteel with a platinum bezel and dial, and the 44 mm Yacht-Master II, a regatta chronograph that counts down to the start of a race.

Buyer's guide

How to choose a pre-owned Rolex Yacht-Master or Yacht-Master II

The 40 mm or the 44 mm regatta model, which metal and strap, and what comes with the watch

Choose the size first. The 40 mm Yacht-Master shows the time and date, and has a bezel that turns both ways, so it suits most wrists. The Yacht-Master II is 44 mm and adds a countdown to the start of a sailing race, and it wears big. Then pick the metal, and a bracelet or the rubber Oysterflex strap. A watch is final sale, so ask everything before you pay.

Which Yacht-Master: Rolex Yacht-Master 40 mm or Yacht-Master II 44 mm

Take the 40 mm Yacht-Master unless you race boats or want a big watch. It shows the time and the date under the Cyclops lens, and the bezel turns either way to time a meeting or a parking meter. It sits flat on the wrist and slides under a shirt cuff.

The Yacht-Master II is the regatta watch, wide and tall on the wrist. Its dial carries a countdown hand and a ten-minute scale in large numerals, so it reads busier. Buy it for the countdown, or for presence on a large wrist.

Regatta countdown: how the Yacht-Master II Ring Command bezel works

The bezel sets the countdown. Turn it to open the setting, turn the crown to choose up to ten minutes, then turn the bezel back to lock it. One pusher starts the count at the warning signal, and the other resets it, or pulls it back in step with the official count if your start was off by a beat. Rolex calls this bezel Ring Command. Before you pay, ask the desk to confirm the countdown starts, stops and resets on that exact watch.

Metal and strap: Rolex Yacht-Master 16622, 116655, 116680 and 116681

Read the reference before the photos, because it fixes the metal. Here are four our listings have shown.

  • 16622: the 40 mm in steel with a platinum bezel and a platinum dial, on the steel Oyster bracelet.
  • 116655: the 40 mm in 18K Everose, Rolex's rose gold, with a black ceramic bezel insert, on the black Oysterflex strap.
  • 116680: the Yacht-Master II in Oystersteel with a blue ceramic bezel and a white dial.
  • 116681: the same Yacht-Master II in steel and Everose, two-tone down the bracelet.

Oysterflex is rubber molded over a flexible metal blade. It wears light and shrugs off salt water and sweat. Gold shows scratches sooner than steel does.

Papers and year: Yacht-Master box, Rolex card and papers

Read the short block under each description first. It says whether the Rolex card or the papers come with the watch, and the box is usually offered as an add-on. The card or papers carry the serial and the day the watch first sold, so the year in a title is usually that date. A watch without papers is still a real Rolex once it has been checked in person. Ask the desk how one without papers was dated.

Buying: final sale, authentication and sourcing a Yacht-Master

Every watch here is final sale, so settle each question before the payment. Our watch team checks each Yacht-Master in person before it goes on the site. Ask in the live chat about the bracelet or strap length, the papers and the last service, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET. Each watch ships insured. When the reference, metal or dial you want is not listed, the desk looks for it through the trade and tells you what turns up.

Four of the five were for sale that day. The two Yacht-Masters bought here in the year were both 16622s, and on every listing the box is an add-on.

Questions we get at the counter

What is the difference between the Yacht-Master and the Yacht-Master II?

The Yacht-Master is a watch for the time and date, with a bezel that turns both ways. The Yacht-Master II is the 44 mm regatta model, with a race-start countdown you set through its Ring Command bezel.

Yacht-Master or Submariner: which should I buy?

Buy the Submariner if you dive or want the plainer tool watch, and the Yacht-Master if you want that build dressed up. A Yacht-Master bezel comes in platinum, gold or ceramic and turns both ways, while a Submariner bezel clicks one way only.

What size is the Rolex Yacht-Master, and how does it fit?

The Yacht-Master comes in 37, 40 and 42 mm and the Yacht-Master II in 44 mm, and ours have been 40s and 44s. The 40 suits most wrists, while the 44 wears wide and suits a large one. Send the desk your wrist size.

More questions we get

What is the Oysterflex strap on the Yacht-Master 116655?

It is Rolex's rubber strap, black elastomer molded over a flexible metal blade, so it keeps its shape like a bracelet. It takes water and sweat in stride but has no links to take out, so ask the desk how it fits your wrist.

Is the bezel on the Yacht-Master 16622 really platinum?

Yes. The 16622 pairs a steel case and bracelet with a platinum bezel and a platinum dial, the mix Rolex calls Rolesium. The raised numerals on the bezel stand out from a matte ground, and platinum keeps its cool gray-white color.

Does a pre-owned Yacht-Master come with box and papers?

Some do and some do not, and each listing names which in the short block under its description: the Rolex card, the papers, or neither. The box is usually sold as an add-on, so ask the desk if one comes with your watch.

Can I return a Yacht-Master?

No. A watch cannot be sent back, and the refund policy puts watches on its final sale list. Settle the papers, the fit and the service history first, in the live chat or by a call or text to 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.

Can you source a Yacht-Master that is not listed?

Yes, we look for it through the trade. Tell the live chat the reference, the metal and the dial you want, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET, and we come back to you with what we find.

About this collection
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

Pre-Owned Rolex Yacht-Master and the 44 mm Yacht-Master II

The 40 mm is the everyday size. The Yacht-Master II wears big, and its Ring Command bezel sets the countdown. Read each listing for the reference and whether the card or papers come with the watch. Watches are final sale, so ask us first: if the watch is at the counter, your rep can show it to you on video. Rolex models explained sets the lines side by side, and the Submariner, the Sky-Dweller and every pre-owned Rolex are one tap away.
