About this reference
Rolex Yacht-Master
The reference
This VS Factory creation captures the Rolex Yacht-Master 42mm in yellow gold with a black dial and ceramic bezel, reference 226658. It is a 1:1 Super Clone that closely follows the original's design and proportions, built for those who appreciate the Yacht-Master's blend of luxury and sport. As part of the VS Factory line, this reference represents a specific interpretation of the Yacht-Master 42, combining a larger case size with precious metal finishing and a sport-oriented strap. The 42mm case size is a deliberate choice, offering a more substantial wrist presence than smaller Yacht-Master variants while maintaining balanced proportions that suit a range of wrist sizes.
Build and movement
The yellow gold construction provides a warm, rich tone that contrasts with the ceramic bezel, a material known for its resistance to scratches and fading. The black dial enhances legibility and gives the watch a bold, nautical character, while the ceramic bezel insert adds a durable, glossy frame that frames the dial effectively. The DD3235 movement powers the timepiece, offering reliable performance and a smooth operation that enthusiasts expect from this movement family. The strap, rather than a metal bracelet, contributes to a lighter, more comfortable wearing experience, making it suitable for daily wear and active use.
What sets this version apart
This specific version stands out with its black dial and Oysterflex-style strap, differentiating it from other Yacht-Master configurations that may feature different dial colours or bracelet options. The yellow gold and black combination is both striking and versatile, suitable for various occasions, from casual outings to more formal settings. The use of yellow gold and ceramic together reflects a focus on materials that age well and maintain their appearance over time. Before shipping, we provide real photos and a QC video of the exact watch, ensuring you can review it in detail.
