Product Overview
For a long time, the Rolex Yacht-Master II was considered “impossible to replicate.” Other factories gave up and just made cosmetic copies.
KF Factory accepted the challenge. After years of development, they released this masterpiece (Ref. 116680). It is currently the only version in the market that correctly replicates the complex mechanical interaction between the bezel and the movement.
Why KF Factory is the Ultimate Choice?
1. The Clone 4161 Movement
This is the biggest selling point.
Real Function: Unlike 7750-based replicas where the hands are just for show, the KF 4161 Movement allows for a Programmable Countdown.
Accuracy: It replicates the flyback function and the specific mechanical feel of the regatta timer. It is a marvel of reverse engineering.
2. Functional “Ring Command” Bezel
Interactive: On the Genuine watch, rotating the bezel unlocks the setting mode. KF Factory has replicated this. The bezel is not just a piece of metal; it is linked to the movement to set the countdown timer.
Blue Cerachrom: The insert is made of real ceramic with platinum-plated numerals, offering the correct depth and shine.
3. 904L Steel Construction
Heavyweight: The 44mm case is machined from solid 904L Oystersteel. It has the correct weight and heft, feeling substantial on the wrist.
Dial Detail: The white lacquer dial features the correct “Small Seconds” at 6 o’clock and Chromalight blue lume for high visibility.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the countdown actually work?
A: Yes! This is the magic of the KF Factory version. The mechanical memory countdown functions very similarly to the Gen. You can program the countdown duration (e.g., 5 minutes or 10 minutes) using the Ring Command bezel and the pushers.
Q: Is this better than the IPK or JF version?
A: Yes. IPK and JF use modified 7750 movements which are thicker and often have non-functional or simplified countdowns. KF Factory uses a custom movement designed specifically to replicate the 4161 functions. It is much more expensive to make, but it is the best.
Q: How do I set the countdown?
A: Just like the Gen: Rotate the bezel 90 degrees to the left (active mode), use the pusher to set the countdown minute hand, and rotate the bezel back to lock it.
