The new Yacht-Master II
#17
This watch definitely has presence. IMO it is too over the top, I mean why write Yacht Master II across the bottom in monster font? Also, at this price point there are a lot of other pieces to buy. That being said, this is a cool watch for someone who is into the rolex brand.

FUNCTIONS
The functioning of the Yacht-Master II is very simple. With one hand, the user can rapidly program the countdown. Likewise, he can start, stop, set or synchronise it, while it is in progress, to the official countdown with a simple press of a pusher.
1. TIMING THE START OF A REGATTA
Press the start/stop pusher to start the countdown.
At the end of the countdown, the minute hand stops by itself at 0. The seconds hand continues to turn.
2. SYNCHRONISATION OF THE COUNTDOWN (IF NECESSARY)
At the time of the official signal, sound or visual :
Press the reset pusher briefly and firmly.
The minute countdown hand repositions itself to the nearest minute, while the seconds countdown hand returns to 0. When the reset pusher is released, the minute countdown hand and the seconds countdown hand are automatically activated.
3. STOPPING THE COUNTDOWN
Press the start/stop pusher.
4. SETTING THE COUNTDOWN
Make certain that the countdown is stopped.
Press the reset pusher.
The minute countdown hand returns to the minute programmed at the last setting and the seconds countdown hand returns to 0.
The countdown is ready to be started.
5. PROGRAMMING THE COUNTDOWN
First, make certain that the countdown is stopped.
Turn the bezel 90° counterclockwise.
The inscription Yacht-Master II should be aligned with the winding crown. This locks the start/stop pusher.
Press the reset pusher.
You will hear a click. The pusher remains depressed.
Unscrew the winding crown to position 1, without pulling on the stem.
(The same as for manual winding)
Position the hand at the desired minute by turning the winding crown in the winding direction.
The minute countdown hand moves from 0 to 10 minutes by increments of one minute. At 10 minutes, if the user continues to turn the crown, the hand returns to 0.
Return the bezel to its initial position by rotating it 90° clockwise.
You will hear a click. This returns the reset pusher to its initial position and unlocks the start/stop pusher.
Push down and screw down the winding crown.
The countdown is ready to be activated according to the time programmed.
