Grade D · 48/100Today's call: Buy it to wear, not to flip
D: passion purchase. Ranked #124 of 129 references in The Crown Index vault.

A mechanical regatta countdown you program through the bezel: engineering showcase, niche audience, 30 percent discount to retail.
The D grade is financial, not horological. As a machine it is extraordinary.
White gold Yacht-Master II: a 44mm regatta computer in precious metal, with the Ring Command bezel programming a countdown you will never use against an actual starting gun.
It's the most mechanically interesting watch in the Yacht-Master family and the least loved commercially, a combination that history suggests eventually flips. Until then, half-price white gold.
Our verdict: Passion purchase. Buy it because you sail, not because you invest.
