Rediscovering the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Everose Rolesor
For a start, because the Yacht-Master 40 is only waterproof to 100 meters, its case is actually thinner than something like a Submariner. This means that it can be said that it is more versatile to fit the next cuff, for example, more easily.
What’s more, the Yacht-Master 40 houses Rolex’s Calibre 3235 movement, which is the Swiss marque’s newest generation movement and features the patented “Chronergy” escapement, Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and offers customers 70 hours of power reserve.
And lastly, as our man Felix Scholz mentioned when he went hands-on with the watch, due to its distinctively dazzling 18k Everose Rolesor metal combination and arresting sunburst brown dial, the Yacht-Master 40 Everose Rolesor has proper genderless bandwidth, and could be the perfect ‘his and hers’ timepiece.
Last year replica Rolex launched the stealth-wealthy Everose, Cerachrom and Oysterflex Yacht-Master 40 ref. 116655, a watch that shifted the skipper’s replica watch from the periphery of the catalogue to front and centre. It all but stole the show. This year Rolex’s renewed interest in the line continues, with this sumptuous Rolex version, topped off by a new chocolate dial. This is a good combination that really sparks the “couple watch” category, which is totally feasible for him or her, or better yet, feasible for both parties.
This is not an under-the-radar watch. If the polished Everose centre links and softer sand-blasted bezel didn’t automatically rule it out, the deep sunburst of the brown dial seals the deal. And even if it’s no shrinking violet on the wrist, it’s far from gaudy. There’s a great balance to it – all the elements and finishings are in harmony with each other. The dial would overwhelm a plainer case, and the gilt logo and red ‘Yacht-Master’ text add some variety and balance to the otherwise overwhelming combination.
It’s also a fake Rolex that really offers you the best of both worlds. Not only does the two-tone watch offer the utility of steel and lustre of gold, together with a pleasing mix of sports and leisure, it’s also a truly unisex piece. 40mm is a large size for a woman’s watch, but definitely not considered too large. The combination of warm colors and precious metals means the fake watch doesn’t look like a boyfriend. On the other hand, the classic oyster design ensures that the word “delicate” will not be used to describe the work.
