How much gold is in a Rolex Yacht-Master II ?!

In the video, our watchmaker dissects Yacht Master II apart and sets the pieces on a calibrated scale to weigh them for their gold.
The Yacht-Master II is Rolex's most gold abundant watch. Measuring in at 44 mm this watch is listed at around $40,000 in the pre-owned marketplace. A truly magnificent piece of machinery this watch is one of many Rolex gems that really capture the individuality and merit of the Rolex brand.

keep in mind that Rolex ADs buy the watch in at 60% of the retail price, so Rolex themselves only sell it out at about $24k. considering that materials alone nearly add up to $10k, this watch is actually quite a lot of bang for your buck.

20% of the price

[@simons1543]

Be interested to see what that same calculation yields on a white gold and platinum yachtmaster 2

[@jakebolling7550]

Sounds just about right. Rolex’s margin to the dealer is Ab 50-60%. Their margin to you is also ab 50-60%. That’s how most healthy supply chains look.

The poor buyers get ripped off as fuck😂😂😂😂 i love it, be smart and buy a fake one from China, and do really fun things with the remaining 40,000 dollars.... Life is short after all

@@pleun315 the super clone weight for the yacht master 2 is 180grams i just weighed mine and the real yacht master 2 weights 280grams? apparently or 240. much heavier, people can tell its a fake when holding the super clone. they need to make super clones heavier, otherwise its well worth the money. im going to buy a real rolex clasp and put ti on super clone

@@jamiefreedom8320 no no noo...super clones are just briliant, i have one you need a microscope to see any difference 😂😂😂😂 its so hilarious 😂👍👍

Amazing content cheers!

[@ChronoSky]

Glad you think so! Many Thanks

[@zacho1379]

Considering the stainless steel version is probably .5% inherent value in materials of the final cost $18,000 this is a no brainer if you can afford

[@cupofcosmiclatte]

Just right!

[@joanlopez6314]

This is the best watch video I have also ever seen

[@ChronoSky]

Thank you Joan!

[@waltervanderboor]

Used to have this watch and estimated 25%, great watch but missed the date.

[@gp2712]

I guessed 20% figured the rest is just marketing

[@ChronoSky]

Pretty close and thank you so much for the support!

[@ghupft-wie-ghatscht]

Gold has to be brought in its shape which is cost intensive. You also cannoz compare a gold bar with a nice cartier bracelet

[@pleun315]

@@ChronoSky So you buy something fake after all 😂😂😂 my advise after this video is by a fake from China and do something really Nice with the remaining 40,000 dollar🙏

[@gusz4019]

You people don’t account for anything else? Craftsmanship, other parts, engineering… even marketing. I think it’s a great deal

[@miguelpontes8985]

great job always 👍🏻

The watch band is pure 18K gold? An awfully soft metal for regular use, wouldn’t you say?

[@gusz4019]

It’s not a problem.

[@lansiman]

there's a steel sleeve liner to each of the link to prevent wear, but vintage rolex don't have it

[@Rolexenforcer]

[@pleun315]

This is the absolute best video on watches.... EVER !! you proved how people get misleaded big time, its not even 24 carat, you think its wurth a lot but its the brands name you pay 30,000 dollar for... Rolex is doing great job by selling a fake dream for people who want to look like a hot shot. A misleaded hot shot😂😂😂😂 Thanks for showing us the truth and i hope a lot of people may see this. Greetings from the Netherlands ❤️🙏

[@gusz4019]

So 23% of the price of the watch goes only towards the gold. You don’t account for any other costs? I think that is a great deal. Also. I own that exact same watch.
