Is it a good deal to buy Rolex oyster perpetual yatch-master 42?

Introduction :-
Rolex is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer company based in Geneva ( Switzerland) founded by Hans Wilsdorf & Alfred Davis.

Rolex mostly produced Mechanical wrist watches but it has also participated in the development of the original quartz watch  movements
Rolex generally produce the watches of three categories :-
1. Oyster
2. Professional & Cellini
3. Perpetual

Rolex is popular for it's performance and reliability ,this fact is proven by that in 2018 auction Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona is the most expensive writst watch and second most expensive watch ever sold at auction.

Rolex watches continue to have a reputation as status symbols . Rolex produces more than 800,000 timepieces per year and it is fact that "The power of the Crown is never more felt than when trying to negotiate space in a retail environment for the product of another brand"

Now let's come to our topic which is about ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL YATCH-MASTER 42 :-
                     
 
 Let's talk about this watch one by one in brief and in the End we will provide video of this watch too for your comfort.

 1.Case
First of all you have to understand that what is case .So Actually case is the metal housing of watch's parts. In simpler terms, it acts as an outside shell and protects the moving parts of a watch which include the bezel, the middle and the case back.

The yatch-master is notable for its white gold case. This is the first white gold case watch to be featured in Yatch-master collection. Basically in Yatch-master collection the models are of 37-mm and 40-mm sizes but in this model it is larger than the existing models . The Case of Rolex perpetual oyster yatch-master 42 is 42-mm which is also mentioned with the name of this model.


If your wrist is 14cm to 18cm in circumference then you should try out this watch but if your wrist is above 18cm  in circumference then you should try any other model of larger size because this will look slightly awkward on your wrist and miss match your personality.
Sizing of the watch matters the most when you buy anything because if you are not comfortable with its sizing then it's completely worthless to have it.

2.Dial
Anything we discuss about dial of Yatch-master 42 , First question comes that what is Dial of any watch ?
So Basically Dial of any watch is the face of  the watch. It serves as a background with numbers or indices that the hour, minute, second and other hands can point to.

Dial in any watch have very importance because as it is the centre of watch and important for catching the eye of the beholder immediately, the dial was always important and needed to show off the brands identity.

Now comes to the point and talk about dial of Yatch-master :-
So as you can see the dial of this time piece is Black with White gold  .

The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. Characterised by hour markers fashioned from 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.
With Black Dial this watch is looks awesome and unique . As no doubt on readability of Brand Rolex .

3. Bracelet
First thing to know that what's bracelet?
A watch strap, watch band, or watch bracelet is a bracelet that straps a wrist watch onto the wrist. Watch straps may be made of leather, plastic, rubber, cloth, or metal, sometimes in combination. It can be regarded as a fashion item, serving both a utilitarian and decorative function.

Choosing the perfect Bracelet is very important as it should be perfectly sized and fits on your wrist .

The Bracelet of Rolex Yatch-master 42 is Oysterflex bracelet , patented by Rolex and also developed. It offers a sporty alternative to metal Bracelets.

The bracelet attaches to the watch case and the Oysterlock safety clasp by a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade. The blade is overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer which is particularly resistant to environmental effects, very durable and perfectly inert for the wearer of the watch. For enhanced comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with a patented longitudinal cushion system that stabilizes the watch on the wrist and fitted with an 18ct Everose or white gold Oysterlock safety clasp.

4.Bezel
First Of All , Let me tell you what's bezel?
So basically bezel is a top ring on the watch which surrounds the Crystal. All watches have some sort of a bezel, whether it is a thin ring around the crystal or a piece of ceramic holding a scale.
Its function is actually quite simple: before a diver's descent, the 12 o'clock bezel marker is aligned with the minute hand, allowing the elapsed time, up to 60 minutes, to be read on the bezel.



Bezel of this time piece is bidirectional bezel, with a knurled edge for easy gripping, is fitted with a Cerachrom insert, with a 60-minute graduated scale in the style of a classical diving watch, in matte black to match the look of the black lacquer dial.

The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made of precious materials. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background. This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity.

5.Movement
Movement is very important part from the best watch point of view as for the designer it's very hard to maintain the quality of watch internally.

As we all know there are three type of movements Quartz , Mechanical and Automatically .


The movement is similar to Rolex Sea-Dweller which has a 70-hour power reserve and has passed the stringent criteria of Rolex’s “Superlative Chronometer” precision tests. Like all Rolex in-house movements since 2015, the self-winding Caliber 3235 uses the patented Chronergy Escapement, made of magnetism-resistant nickel phosphorus that renders the movement both highly energy efficient and extremely durable. The oscillator uses a blued hairspring, made of a Rolex-exclusive paramagnetic alloy called Parachrom, which resists shocks better than a traditional hairspring and thus, according to Rolex, increases the timekeeping precision by a factor of 10. Also as of 2015, the battery of tests that a Rolex watch must undergo to earn the coveted “Superlative Chronometer” designation are more than twice as stringent as those required for the more widely used COSC certification: in other words, each watch is tested to a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day.

An important thing to know is that Rolex has the unrivalled ability to cast the highest quality 18 ct gold alloys. According to the proportion of silver, copper, platinum or palladium added, different types of 18 ct gold are obtained: yellow, pink or white. They are made with only the purest metals and meticulously inspected in an in-house laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, before the gold is formed and shaped with the same painstaking attention to quality. Rolex's commitment to excellence begins at the source.

Let's Now talk about its price because this is all what Rolex time pieces are.
So the price of this time piece is $27,800.
