Yachtmaster question.....

When was the last time the Yatchmaster got updated?.....(movement,case, bracelet). Did it always have a PCL when first introduced?

Yes, the YM comes in TT, full YG and SS/Pt. All their centre links are polished.

As far as I know, the YM has always been the same since its very inception way back in 1992.

Thanks, JJ. I've been looking at the YM lately and I think it's a very elegant watch.

Just for everyone's info, the Platinum YM was introduced in 1997 and has always been the same since then.

JJ, I don't think it originally came out with engraved Rehaut?

I got my (ladies') SS/platinum YM in 2001 and it does not have an engraved rehaut.

I love the watch. It has truly exceeded my expectations regarding versatility (I can wear it with any type of outfit), durability (it's waterproof, etc.), and functionality (it keeps great time).

Of course not. The engraving on the rehaut ring was only introduced on some of the Z-series models and then became standard thereafter on all the models.

Other than that, the YM has always been the same since its very introduction in 1992 when it was introduced in YG only.

Than in 1994, came the TT model..................and later in '97 we had the Platinum/SS model.
