Just bought Yachtmaster, concerned with cyclops

[mike1983]

Hello, I am brand new to this forum and glad I found it as I am a huge Rolex fan, and have been so for many years.

Anyway, I was lead to this forum during an internet search for specific info on Yachtmaster mens watches because I just bought one at a jewelry show from a reputable dealer out of Los ANgelos, but it is a late 2002 model so I am a little concerned about authenticity.

I requested to see the serial number and he took off the bracelet and showed me which matched up perfectly to the serial number guide.

However, the date when viewed through the cyclops doesn't look as big as it does on my Datejust Rolex. Can anyone tell me what they think?

Otherwise, everything looks, and feels just right. The hands look perfect, and are the right length. The watch weighs a solid 5 ounces on my postal scale, the crown has the three dots, and the rubber gasket, the second sweeps perfectly. 120 clicks to rotate the bezel one time.

No crown engraved on the crystal, but it is my understanding that this didn't start until later 2002, early 2003, so I am assuming it is except able for this watch not to have it.

Please check out the pictures and let me know as soon as possible! thanks everyone!
