Besides all the attraction and fuzz about the new Daytona and new Explorer in 39mm, there was this fellow in Everose gold and stainless steel (904L grade) with a chocolate colored dial on the table during our appointment with Rolex in Basel.
This 40mm replica Rolex Yacht-Master shows no difference regarding dimensions compared to the previous versions, including my old 2004 Yacht-Master 16622. The Rolex caliber 3135 ticks inside and that movement has been upgraded over the years, including Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring (being insensitive for magnetic fields) and movement calibration to -2/+2 seconds deviation.

Everose gold in combination with 904L stainless steel. Rolex calls this combination of materials ‘Rolesor’. The uni-directional diving scale bezel is made of Everose gold as well as the solid center links of the Oyster bracelet on this watch. The previous bi-color Rolex Yacht-Master was reference 16623 (introduced in 2005), and had a yellow gold bezel and center links. The first Yacht-Master reference from 1992, 16628, was full gold and had a gold crown as well. For some reason, Rolex chose the bi-color models, including the model I am talking about today, to have a stainless steel crown.
