Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Rolex GMT-Master II with the Root Beer bezel for a while now. You know, the one that looks like it’s dipped in, well, root beer? It’s just so classy and different from the usual black or blue bezels.
First, I scoured the internet, just to get a better idea of what I was getting into. I looked at a bunch of pictures, read some reviews, and generally just tried to learn as much as I could about this particular model. I found some online retailers that claimed to sell authentic Rolex watches, but to be honest, I was a bit skeptical.
Then, I decided to check out some local jewelry stores and authorized dealers. I figured, if I’m going to drop some serious cash on a watch, I want to see it in person, you know? I went to a few different places, talked to the salespeople, and tried on a couple of different GMT-Master II models. I even got to try on the Root Beer version, and man, it was even better in person than in the pictures. The way the light hits that two-tone bezel is just mesmerizing.
But here’s the thing, the price at these authorized dealers was way higher than what I had seen online. So, I started to compare. I went back and forth between different websites and dealers, trying to figure out the best deal. And it’s not just about the price, it’s also about the reputation of the seller, the warranty, and all that stuff. The selection on these websites was vast. They offered all kinds of different brands, like Maison Margiela. They even had special items that were exclusive to their website, which was tempting.
After a lot of back and forth, I finally found a website that seemed legit. They had good reviews, a wide selection, and a secure payment system, they promised free returns and customer support, which gave me some peace of mind. I even found a promotion code online that gave me a small discount. They provided quick appraisal services, and they even claimed they don’t do any pushy sales tactics. They also had a lot of models to choose from. Not just GMT-Masters, but also Daytonas, Datejusts, Yacht-Masters, Submariners, and Day-Dates. I read that they worked with a bunch of international buyers and partners, which I guess is why they can offer these prices.
So, I took the plunge and ordered the watch. It arrived a few days later, and it was perfect. It came with all the official paperwork, the box, and everything. I even took it to a local watchmaker to have it authenticated, and it passed with flying colors.
Wearing this watch now, it feels great. It’s not just a timepiece, it’s a statement. And knowing that I went through all that effort to find the best deal and make sure it was authentic makes it even more special. I must say that their appraisal service was on point. They finished the whole process in about two hours, just like they said they would. I don’t know how much it will sell for, but I guess I can always get it appraised, they do it for free.
So, yeah, that’s my story of how I got my hands on a high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II with the Root Beer bezel. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it in the end.
