Buyers select the Yacht-Master II 116689 for the solid white gold build, the most discreet metal choice paired with the blue Cerachrom Ring Command bezel and the white dial. The 116688 buyer prefers the warmer 18k yellow gold case with the same regatta function. The 116680 buyer chooses the all-steel build at a lower price point. The Yacht-Master II 116689 Super Clone gives the understated white gold weight with the full programmable countdown and the Ring Command bezel interaction.
The Rolex Yacht-Master II launched in 2007 as the first Rolex watch built specifically for yacht racing. Rolex designed the model around a programmable countdown timer from 1 to 10 minutes, a function that times the start sequence of a regatta where a clean, well-timed start decides the race. The Yacht-Master II introduced the Ring Command bezel, a rotatable bezel that mechanically links to the movement to set and synchronize the countdown. Rolex built the in-house Caliber 4161 to drive the regatta chronograph, the mechanical countdown memory, and the on-the-fly synchronization. The Yacht-Master II catalogue spans the 116680 in steel, the 116681 in two-tone steel and Everose gold, the 116688 in yellow gold, and the 116689 in white gold. The Yacht-Master II holds water resistance to 100 meters, the rating Rolex sets for a sailing watch rather than a deep-sea instrument. The Yacht-Master II 116689 Super Clone carries that regatta heritage and the solid white gold specification onto the wrist.

"I bought this for the discreet white gold look and the case has real heft. The Ring Command bezel switches the movement modes and the countdown programs cleanly from 1 to 10 minutes. The blue ceramic bezel against the white dial reads sharp. At $1,649 it sits like the genuine on the wrist."
"Shipped DHL and arrived in Manchester in 6 days. The packaging was discreet exactly as described. White gold does not shout the way yellow gold does, which is why I chose the 116689. This is a big watch at 44mm and the regatta countdown still resets to my stored time two months in."
"I was nervous spending this much on my first clone. WhatsApp support answered every question about the Yacht-Master II before I ordered. The watch arrived in a full box set with papers. The red regatta scale and the polished white gold links closed the deal for me."
Every question below is answered with direct context covering super clone basics, quality, choosing the right reference, and orders & support.
Yes, the Rolex Yacht-Master II 116689 sold on Super Clone Watches is a 1:1 super clone that matches the genuine Rolex reference at 98% visual and dimensional accuracy. The build matches the blue Cerachrom Ring Command bezel, the white regatta dial, the solid 18k white gold case, the programmable countdown timer, and the white gold Oyster bracelet geometry within tight tolerance. The price of $1,649 compares to a genuine retail figure near $51,000.
The Ring Command bezel on the 116689 works as a rotatable bezel that mechanically links to the Caliber 4161 movement to program and synchronize the regatta countdown. The wearer turns the bezel to switch the movement between time-setting, countdown-programming, and countdown-sync modes. The bezel returns to its locked position once the setting completes, which is the same interaction the genuine Yacht-Master II uses.
No, the Rolex Yacht-Master II 116689 is not a dive watch, since Rolex designed it as a yacht-racing regatta chronograph with water resistance to 100 meters. The programmable countdown timer suits timing a regatta start sequence rather than decompression timing at depth. Buyers who want a dedicated dive instrument should look at the Rolex Submariner or Sea-Dweller instead, while the Yacht-Master II covers sailing, swimming, and daily wear.
The countdown timer on the Yacht-Master II programs a regatta start sequence from 1 to 10 minutes and counts it down with a central regatta hand. The timer holds a mechanical memory, which lets the wearer reset to the last programmed duration without re-entering the value. The countdown synchronizes on the fly to the official race countdown, so the regatta hand aligns with the committee signal even after the sequence begins.
A Swiss-grade automatic clone of Rolex Caliber 4161 powers this Yacht-Master II 116689 super clone. The Caliber 4161 is the in-house regatta chronograph movement that drives the programmable countdown, the mechanical memory, and the Ring Command bezel interaction. The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and holds a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, matching the genuine caliber on frequency and autonomy.
The difference between the 116689 and the 116688 is the case metal. The Yacht-Master II 116689 uses a solid 18k white gold case and bracelet, while the 116688 uses a solid 18k yellow gold case and bracelet. Both references share the 44mm case, the blue Cerachrom Ring Command bezel, the white dial, the Caliber 4161 regatta movement, and the 100-meter water resistance.
The authentic Rolex Yacht-Master II 116689 retails near $51,000, since the solid 18k white gold configuration carries a heavy precious-metal premium over the steel reference. This super clone sells for $1,649, which delivers 98% visual and functional parity at roughly 3% of the genuine retail price. Buyers receive the full white gold regatta chronograph wrist presence without the capital commitment.
A 1-year limited warranty covers movement defects and manufacturing faults on this Yacht-Master II 116689 super clone. Replacement parts sourcing runs through the originating factory via Super Clone Watches support. Movement servicing guidance is provided through WhatsApp and email for the lifetime of the watch.
