Rolex Y Master II
Is the SS Rolex Master II hard to get watch?

Not at all. One has been sitting in my Ad's showcase for months. Very tempted to pull the trigger!!

They’re readily available at almost every AD for a discount.

I've never really looked very close at the YM II. Here's a noob question.....What does the inner 3/4 dial numbered 0-10 tell the wearer? I assume the small blue dial are the seconds?

That's my layman's answer. (I'm the layman!) Someone more knowledgeable should answer this. Mark Sent from my SM-A520W using Tapatalk |

So, how did the original Yacht Master do this countdown or aid in Yacht racing? It only had a rotating bezel with graduations like a Submariner. I never really understood the difference between an original Yacht Master and a Submariner from a functionality standpoint. |

in a race, you "jockey" your sailboat around the starting area positioning yourself to cross the starting line at the beginning of the race and not early or at "0". The race official gives you a 10 min. warning and that is when you start the watch timer.

It's a ten minute pre race start countdown. In reality no sailor would ever use this watch as it would not be anywhere near as good as some high tech solutions.

No — as previously stated they are out there and usually pretty readily available.
I’ve been on the verge of picking one up at lease twice already - as the wife and I love to sail — even though it is more a showpiece than anything else...I still love it though... I do however prefer the older blue hand set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
