Rolex Yacht-Master II - 18K Yellow Gold Blue Bezel
A Statement Of Complication
The Yacht-Master II stands as one of the most complex and visually assertive watches in the modern Rolex catalog. Developed for the specific needs of competitive sailing, its signature feature is the regatta countdown timer, programmable from one to ten minutes and operated by the command bezel. This is a purpose-built instrument that showcases Rolex's ability to create highly functional and mechanically sophisticated timepieces.
A Technical Powerhouse
This reference represents a departure from the traditional Rolex formula. The Ring Command bezel is not just for show; it is an integral part of the movement's functionality, allowing the wearer to program the regatta countdown. The contrast between the crisp white dial and the vibrant blue ceramic bezel has become a signature look for the model. In solid gold, the watch carries a level of prestige that few other professional models can match, sitting at the top of the brand's hierarchy in both size and complexity.
Condition And Reality
At 247 grams, the gold presence is immediate. This example shows honest signs of use since its production in 2010. There is visible fading on the numerals 3, 6, and 7 on the blue ceramic bezel. The white dial is in mint condition, and the case and Oyster bracelet are in good overall shape with nine links present. Mechanically, the watch is running strong after passing our test bench.
Why It Works
This is for the person who wants the maximum expression of a gold Rolex. It works because it combines legitimate mechanical complexity with a level of wrist presence that very few other watches can provide. The Yacht-Master II has carved out a unique space as the heavy hitter of the professional line, serving as a distinct alternative to more common models. It is bold, technically superior, and carries the kind of weight that reminds you it is there every time you move your arm.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
