Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622

What's it like to wear the rolex yacht-master.

| Wrist Size: 7 inch

Before we get to my Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 review, we need some background. In 1992 Rolex introduced a watch that shared the silhouette of their beloved Submariner but in solid 18k yellow gold, embossed YG bezel insert soldered to the bezel, funky white dial, and the unusual name “Yacht-Master” written where “Submariner” would normally live. People then and now still wonder.. “Why?”.

Rumor has it Rolex wanted to drastically update the Submariner but were scared that the changes were too extreme. The Submariner was essentially their poster child and arguably their most iconic watch. Fearing backlash, they created a whole new line. Rolex rarely creates completely new watches, the last time they made a new watch before the Rolex Yacht-Master was in 1964 when the Daytona was introduced. Luckily it paid off as the Yacht-Master was pretty well received!

Even though the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 at first glance looks very similar to the Submariner it’s a totally different wearing experience. The case shape is completely different from the Sub. Its case profile is composed of compound curves with the lugs swooping downwards very similar to a Daytona, the case is also fully polished. My particular Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 being Roleisum (Rolex’s term for the combination of Platinum and Steel which was first introduced in 1999 with the ref. 16622), in combination with the blue sunburst dial and red accents, gives it such a unique aesthetic it sets it apart in Rolex’s catalog. Rolex I think perfected their blue dials, it’s absolutely gorgeous! Pictures do not do it justice whatsoever. In person, it appears much darker, almost black however in direct light that’s when the striking blue hue pops. The date function is also very convenient!

What is it like to wear a Rolex Yacht-Master? I would describe it as the most comfortable and stressful watch I have ever worn and owned. What most people don’t realize is that it’s a thin watch and I mean THIN. At 11.5mm it’s just as thin or even thinner than a 34mm 114200 Air-King! Like what? The case hugs your wrist amazingly while the oyster bracelet seems to caress you. It makes you want to wear it every single day, I mean how could you not? Thin, sporty, beautiful, comfortable and low key a strap monster. Until you see a scratch or nick on the solid Platinum bezel insert, call up Rolex Service Center to see how much it would be to replace it and they slap you in the face with a $2500 (before taxes) quote for JUST the bezel/bezel insert assembly (they’re soldered together remember?). Then you think “Okay, okay which Seiko ’s do I sell to cover the cost of a freaking bezel”. Did I mention the case is fully polished?

Has this ever happened to me? No, because I’m extremely OCD, however I was curious and called RSC, I also used to own the 16622 and was trained to wear long sleeves only, only wear it sparingly, cover my wrist when walking through doorways, never let it touch denim (yes, denim will scratch it apparently), and for all I know never sneeze near it or even look at it too long because for all I know that could probably scratch it too. To top it all off, of COURSE the bracelet and clasp has Polished Center Links! While I am exaggerating the fragility of the Rolex Yacht-Master, the stress of potentially scuffing it is real.

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 is arguably one of my favorite watches ever made. I never thought I’d ever get to own one. It’s beautiful, ridiculously comfortable, relatively uncommon, however so stressful to wear. I have owned it for almost exactly one year and I personally try to enjoy every second I wear it; I even strap changed it with zero scuffs! I have and I do but my OCD and extreme caution lends itself to be a difficult one to fully appreciate without worry. I’ve debated if this watch was right for me all the time. However, I would recommend this watch to anyone minutely interested. I have no regrets having owned two of them like an insane person, but who in the watch collecting world isn’t insane?

Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622

• Very comfortable to wear.
• Beautiful aesthetics.
• Has many color ways.
• Stressful to wear.
• Scratches relatively easily.

Guide to Rolex Key Terms

Because they are complex pieces of machinery and elegance, luxury watches can sometimes be confusing - even for the most seasoned collectors. If you are new to luxury timepieces (and Rolex watches in particular), the following glossary of select terms can be helpful. With our extensive guide, finding the perfect Rolex for sale has never been easier.

Rolex Bracelet Terms

The following terms are standard when discussing Rolex watch bracelets and bands.

• Argentinian bracelet: President bracelets made in Argentina with stylistic changes to the buckle
• Hecho in Mexico: A stamp found on president bracelets made in Mexico
• Integral: A discontinued, angular linked bracelet common among Oyster quartz models
• Jubilee: More elegant link with three small center pieces
• Oyster: A large center link bracelet mainly found on sport models
• Pearlmaster: High-end watches with modified oyster bracelets in solid gold
• President: A high-end watch bracelet with a shorter middle section than an oyster, only in solid gold
• Strap: A leather strap with traditional Ardillon buckles

Rolex Clasp Terms

Rolex watch clasps come in several different versions that include the following:

• Oysterlock clasp: Rolex's newest clasp is corrosion-resistant and blends engineering, smooth lines, and security to keep your watch where you want it — on your wrist.
• Glidelock clasp: Similar to the Oysterlock clasp but much longer, the Glidelock clasp allows divers to expand the band. Wears can quickly adjust this watch to fit over thick diving suits.
• Rolex buckle: The Rolex buckle is a classic staple of leather bands but is increasingly rare as more Rolex watches come with bracelets.
• Oysterclasp: The Oysterclasp looks nearly identical to the Oysterlock clasp, but this clasp lacks the Oysterlock’s fold-over security lock. It secures most Classic watches, such as the Datejust and Oyster Perpetual models.
• Hidden Crownclasp: The Rolex Hidden Crownclasp is an elegant addition to Rolex watches. Watch bracelets with this clasp look like an unbroken chain of steel or gold.

Testimonials

"I recently purchased my third Rolex from Wes at Bob's. As always, Wes was great to work with. The transaction was easy and seamless. Most importantly, my watch which was listed as "Light sings of wear on bracelet" looks brand new to me. I really could not see any signs of wear. I am thrilled with my new (2013) GMT Master. I can't imagine buying a used Rolex (you can't buy a new one if you are an average guy) from anyone else but Bob's. I highly recommend them and Wes."

Review originally published on Trustpilot

"First purchase of a Rolex, & an expensive watch. Did research & found Bob's Watches to be a reputable online option. Reps were helpful answering questions & providing assistance. I was having technical problems with online order & rep assisted over the phone. Required add'l prodding on my part to get order uploaded to my online acct, but it worked out. Watch band was supposed to be sized before shipment, that did not happen, but I was able to remove links, so it ended up also working out.Watch was in better condition than described, thrilled over the moon with purchase."

"This is my first time dealing with Bob's Watches. I've bought a lot of watches in my life and this is actually the first time I've bought a used timepiece. I can only say that I will be a customer for a long time! The process, professionalism and comfort were way beyond my expectations. From start to finish, it was a pleasure to deal with Bob's Watches on every level. I had my watch the day after I placed the order, which was also beyond my expectations. Great products, wonderful people!!"

Each testimonial echoes the satisfaction of customers who chose our exceptional used Rolex for sale.
