Alright, let’s talk about how I got my hands on this high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II, the “Original order” version. I’ve always been into watches, you know, the craftsmanship and all that, but a real Rolex? That’s way out of my budget.
So, I started digging around. I mean, really digging. Forums, social media groups, you name it. I was looking for something that could pass for the real deal without costing an arm and a leg. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. There’s a lot of junk out there. But then, I stumbled upon this one seller who seemed legit. They had a bunch of positive reviews, detailed pictures, and even videos of their watches.
This particular model caught my eye – the GMT-Master II. I’ve always liked the “Root Beer” bezel, it looks really classic. It is supposed to be an automatic winding mechanism with 31 jewels. After some back and forth with the seller, you know, asking about the materials, the movement, all that stuff, I decided to pull the trigger.
I paid for it and waited. Man, the wait was killing me! Every day I was checking the tracking, hoping it wouldn’t get seized by customs or something. Finally, it arrived. I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning.
And there it was. First impression? It looked good. Really good. The weight was there, it felt solid. The stainless steel case and the ceramic bezel seemed pretty high quality, not like that cheap stuff you see on some fakes. It’s heavy just like people say a real one should be. It doesn’t look cheap at all.
- The Bezel: It rotated smoothly, and the 24-hour markings were clear and well-defined. The “Root Beer” color was spot on.
- The Dial: The details were crisp, the hands moved as they should, and the date window was in the right place.
- The Bracelet: It felt comfortable on my wrist, and the clasp had that satisfying click.
I wore it out a few times, and honestly, no one could tell it wasn’t a real Rolex. I even had a couple of watch guys compliment me on it. Of course, I’m not trying to fool anyone, but it’s nice to have a good-looking watch without breaking the bank. I even went as far as taking it apart just to see what was inside.
Now, I’m not saying it’s perfect. There are probably some tiny details that a real Rolex expert could spot. But for me, and for most people, it’s pretty much indistinguishable from the real thing. Functionally, it works just like it’s supposed to. Visually, yeah there are some imperfections but nothing major.
So, if you’re like me and you want a high-quality watch that looks like a Rolex without spending a fortune, this “Original order” GMT-Master II is definitely worth considering. Just do your research, find a reputable seller, and don’t expect absolute perfection. You are not spending thousands of dollars after all. But for the price, I think it’s a pretty damn good deal.
