1. Dealer name: TheOneWatches (Steve)

2. Factory name: ARF

3. Model name (& version number): GMT-Master II Rootbeer Two Tone Everose/Steel - 126711

4. Price Paid: $688

5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/DFhQHIwT#vBl2kaDArc7OvwWIHRFCUg

6. Index alignment: I tried using the alignment tool and everything looks mostly straight to me. Nothing major standing out.

7. Dial Printing: Printing looks clean overall, but I keep looking at the “SWISS MADE” text at the bottom and can’t tell if it looks slightly off or if it’s just the angle/photos.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date seems centered enough to me. Maybe sits a touch low in a couple pics but could easily be crystal distortion.

9. Hand Alignment: Hands look fine from what I can tell.

10. Bezel: Bezel color looks really good in these pics. The only thing catching my eye is the triangle at 12 — the finishing there looks a little rough/soft compared to the rest of the bezel engraving. Could just be lighting but wanted opinions.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): SELs seem tight, I’m not noticing any obvious gaps.

12. Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 278°, 0.1 ms @ 28800 — these seem solid from what I’ve read.

13. Anything else you notice:
    - Rose gold tone looks better than I expected.
    - Case finishing/brushing looks clean overall.
    - Weight came out around 183g which seems right for two tone.
    - Clasp/crown engraving looks decent to me.

Main things I’m unsure about are the 12 triangle finishing and maybe the SWISS MADE text. Other than that I’m leaning GL but would appreciate more experienced opinions before confirming.

6. Index alignment: Looks straight to me overall.

7. Dial Printing: Printing looks clean.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Cyclops magnification also feels a bit weak to me but not sure if that’s normal.

9. Hand Alignment: Hands look fine to me, no obvious issues when lined up.

10. Bezel: Noticing something on the “10” marker — it looks a bit dirty or slightly scratched/uneven compared to the other numerals. Not sure if it’s just dust or lighting, but it stands out to me. Would appreciate if someone can confirm if this is normal or something to worry about.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look tight, not seeing any gaps.

12. Timegrapher numbers: -1 s/d, 270°, 0.0 ms → seems good from what I understand

13. Anything else you notice:
    Weight shows ~101g which seems correct for titanium. Case tone looks a bit steel-like in some pics but could be lighting. Clasp logo looks a bit soft but I think that’s normal for reps.

Main concerns:
- Cyclops magnification
- Bezel “10” looking dirty/scratched

Leaning GL but not fully sure. Would really appreciate help 🙏

Hey guys, first time getting a YM titanium so would really appreciate some help from people who know this model well.
Dealer: TheOneWatches (Steve)
Factory: QF
Model: Yacht-Master 42 RLX Titanium (226627)
Price: $518
Index alignment: Looks good to me, markers seem straight
Dial printing: Seems okay but not sure about font thickness, especially “Yacht-Master”
Date wheel & cyclops: Date font looks slightly thin and magnification feels a bit off? Need opinions
Bezel: Engraving looks a little soft to my eye, not sure if that’s normal on this batch
Case: Shape seems fine, but unsure about titanium tone vs gen
Bracelet & clasp: Looks decent, coronet maybe a bit soft
Weight: ~101g on scale
→ From what I understand, this is close to gen for titanium, so should be fine?
Movement: 3235 clone (not expecting gen-level finishing)

Main concerns:
Date font / cyclops magnification
Bezel engraving sharpness
Overall case tone (does it look too steel-like?)

Would you GL or RL this?
Any obvious tells I’m missing?
Appreciate all inputs 🙏
