I was looking through the for sale section and i saw a unworn Yachtmaster II TT ref. 116681 for 22,500$ being sold by a legit source. Is it me or is that a bit much for a TT watch. What makes this model worth so much?????

snowbird · 12 February 2012, 04:08 PM

Yes it's a pretty expensive TT watch. In the eye of the beholder whether it's worth it . . . not for me.

perpetualman88 · 12 February 2012, 04:17 PM

The movement is one of the more complicated movements rolex has ever made.
Its the most expensive TT rolex ever I think and at 22500 its not a bad deal I think msrp is over 25k

You are right, best movement in my opinion, had a YG version and had lost around 2 seconds in two weeks!

If it goes for sale around the 18K mark, then I would be tempted. Current prices are still at premium and at 25.5k MSRP there is still a long way to go,

Lion · 12 February 2012, 05:50 PM

Probably due to the gold and the complications this watch has!!!

The GMT Master · 12 February 2012, 07:11 PM

Definitely the movement. This is Rolex's attempt at a high-end movement, they've done a superb job on it. No one else makes a complication like this, it is a truly unique watch

SC11 · 12 February 2012, 08:06 PM

I made a fatal mistake yesterday while trying a couple of watches out of asking to see the fresh TT YMII they had in the window...

No sadly this is not a post were I say it left the AD with me.. After drooling and picking my tongue off the floor my wife pulled away with my wallet intact. Well in all honestly it is out of my league and just a dream, but for them few minutes it look good..

Think the price was £17,600 or close enough not to matter.

stankeyleg · 12 February 2012, 08:09 PM

Thanks for all the information.
Having such a unique movement and charging 10k more, it should be refined and put on display via clear case back. like most high end watches. Just my noobish opinion of course.

mtrunner · 12 February 2012, 10:38 PM

Beautiful watch with an incredible movement but the retail price is just a little less than an all gold GMTIIC. To me that is a little ridiculous.

Here's one in Scottsdale for $23,500 at a pawn shop- Rose gold is says...

that place has some cool watches but all are over priced. They actually had a decent deal on a decently new zenith daytona but they wanted like 10.5k without box and papers. They also had a nice perpetual calendar PP last time I went in.

John you sold the YG YM?

you still have the SS PP though right?

MortgageGuy · 13 February 2012, 05:36 AM

YES, crazy high IMHO for a TT Rolex but we shall see if they sell... I guess that will determine if I am crazy or if Rolex is

dddrees · 13 February 2012, 05:56 AM

Luxury items are often aspirational purchases and prices being charged do not always equate to anything in regards to the actual material or labor involved in creating the item itself.

Somtimes it's just the price point for whatever the reason the manufacture believed it best to charge for that item.
