Rolex Yacht-Master 16622 (Possible Replica)

This is a luxury-style wristwatch featuring the design characteristics of a Rolex Yacht-Master, specifically referencing the 40mm steel/platinum 'Rolesium' aesthetic found in model 16622. The watch is constructed from a silver-toned metal, likely stainless steel, with a matching three-link Oyster-style bracelet featuring polished center links and brushed outer links. The dial is white with black circular hour markers (maxi-style), a date window at the 3 o'clock position magnified by a cyclops lens, and the 'YACHT-MASTER' text printed in red. The bezel is a bidirectional rotatable sandblasted unit with raised 60-minute graduations. Notable features include the Mercedes-style handset and an inverted triangle marker at 12 o'clock. In terms of condition, there is significant visible wear, including heavy scratches and scuffs on the bracelet links, crown, and bezel. There are concerns regarding authenticity due to visible quality indicators: the printing on the dial appears slightly misaligned or coarse, the cyclops magnification seems lower than standard factory specifications, and the fitment between the end links and the case lugs shows gaps not typical of genuine Swiss craftsmanship from this era (approx. early 2000s). The overall finish lacks the high-precision luster expected from solid 950 platinum and 904L steel components, suggesting this may be a lower-tier homage or replica.
