Okay, so, I’ve been on this whole watch kick lately. I’m not made of money, but I really wanted that classic Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer” look. You know, the one with the two-tone bracelet, the brown and black bezel, super classy. I saw the actual Rolex version is, like, a crazy amount, something like €43,900 or something. No way I could swing that! So I started looking around for good quality replicas.
The Hunt Begins
First, I went straight to Amazon. I mean, it’s easy, right? I found a bunch of options, but then I read a review about a watch from this American brand called Stuhrling and how it was a good replica. It sounded promising, but I was still not sure. Then I stumbled upon some random blog talking about the “High imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer Bezel“. It looked pretty decent in the photos. This blog is named “Watches Off 5th” and they were talking about a discontinued model from Rolex, the Rolex GMT Master II, reference 116718LN. It’s a yellow gold case with a full black ceramic bezel and Rolex’s signature green dial. It’s a unique timepiece, they said, but not the “Root Beer” I was looking for.
Digging Deeper
I started searching for the “High imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer Bezel” specifically. I found a lot of places selling them, and it was pretty overwhelming. Prices were all over the place. Some looked like total junk, others seemed okay but I just wasn’t sure.
Taking the Plunge
Finally, I found one that I thought looked pretty good. I don’t know, it just had a good vibe in the pictures. It had the two-tone bracelet I wanted, and the bezel looked really close to the real “Root Beer” Rolex. I was nervous, I won’t lie. But the price was decent, and I figured, “What the heck, let’s give it a shot.”
The Arrival
A few days later, the package arrived. I ripped it open, and I gotta say, I was pretty impressed! It looked even better in person than in the pictures. It has a nice weight to it, feels solid. I put it on, and it felt great on my wrist.
Living with It
- I’ve been wearing it for a couple of weeks now, and I’m still loving it.
- It keeps time well, which is obviously important.
- I’ve gotten a few compliments on it, which is always nice.
- No one’s asked if it’s real or not, but I wouldn’t lie if they did.
Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase. It gave me the look I wanted without breaking the bank. It’s not a real Rolex, but it’s a darn good replica, and it makes me feel good wearing it. If you’re looking for that “Root Beer” style, it might be worth checking out some of these replicas. Just do your research, read reviews, and don’t expect perfection. But for the price, it’s a solid choice.
