tt yachtmaster - the case is made of 916L ss, bezel and center links made of 18kt gold
i have never heard of watch case requiring a 'respray'
in the first place it wasnt even coated when brand new out of factory
was the technician referring to sandblasting the bezel?

Hi Everyone,

I just bought a second yacht master 16623. Can anyone tell me the case of the watch is made of what? Is It 18k gold? I wanted to send for polishing of the watch case but was told that it needed respraying.

Can anyone advised me on this?

Thanks

It should reach us in 3Q this year,else will be early 2013.With the former being more probable. =)

Bro, if I am not wrong, the improvement includes:-

1. Supercase (fatter lugs)
2. Full platinum bezel (For the older version, only the insert is platinum, while the bezel is ss)
3. Option of the new sun ray blue dial.
4. The movement uses the parachrom blue hair spring like the new models.

Hi bro, on point number 2, read somewhere it said that the older version of YM Bezel and dial is full Platinum...and uses caliber 3035/3135...can anyone verify please?

Soris...abit confused by What u mean by insert only? Do u mean the piece of number on the bezel itself?

And anyone know which year is P series and have any chapter rings?

Cheers & thanks!

Hi, noobie here. I am keen on getting the SS/PL YM. Went to a few ADs, some have stock and some don't. I just want to know, is Y series the latest/current or is this old stock? Average price is $14k before less.

Thanks to all for contributing all these useful information.
