YachtMaster Question
Someone sent me a picture of a rolex yachtmaster. I am wondering if it is real. On the dial it says "YACHT MASTER" (all caps with no hyphen). Does anyone know if it could be real?
Thanks, Rick |

Post the pic please. I believe there should be a hyphen.

Mine is all in caps, and has a hyphen, and yes, mine is the real McCoy.

It certainly looked wrong in the picture, but the lady who is selling it seems to have had a rough time lately and I really did not want to tell her that the watch was a fake without getting opinions form other people with much more experience and knowledge than I have. Thank you to everyone for your help. I have advised her that is seems to be a fake, and if she believes it to be genuine, she should verify it through an AD.

Not only a fake, but the WORST yachtmaster fake I've ever seen. It's so bad it's laughable.
