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.

Here you have something to look at.

And a little closer.

And if that wasn't enough.

I hope it helps.

Ah yes the ultra rare YM with plastic dial. Fake.

Rick76 · 30 January 2009, 12:01 PM

Thanks for the input.

Rolexitis · 30 January 2009, 12:05 PM

Wow that's one of the worst fakes I've seen.....

vh_bu98 · 30 January 2009, 12:34 PM

The dial isn't even platinum!

Rick76 · 30 January 2009, 12:59 PM

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.

100% FAKE! Can't even begin to tell you all the things wrong with it.
