Vintage Yachmaster

A yachmaster was found in my grandfathers safe today, any idea on specifics for this piece?

Just find a photo of an authentic YM online and compare it to yours. It should be obvious with minimal analysis.

Sadly, there is little on this watch that one could say "maybe" about. If it didn't say Rolex and Yachtmaster on the dial there would not even be a question.

To answer your note:
We here at TRF are "discouraged" from listing details or discussing fakes.

Forum Rule #5:
5. THIS IS NOT A FORUM FOR THE DISCUSSION OF FAKE WATCHES, BRACELETS ETC, and your opinion are about FAKE WATCHES and who makes them, sells them, buys them and wears them is NOT welcome.

I never understand why people create fakes of something that doesn't exist. At least make an effort...
