Okay, so, I’ve been wanting a Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer” for a while now. You know, the one with that two-tone brown and black bezel? It’s such a classic, with that 1970s vibe that I just love. But let’s be real, the price tag is way out of my league. I mean, we’re talking about a luxury watch, a real collector’s item.
I started looking around, and found that some places were selling them for over 13,000 dollars. That’s a lot of money for a watch. I started looking into other options and thought to myself, what other watches have a similar style?
Looking for Cheaper Options
I did some digging online, and I found a few “alternatives” that were way more affordable. You know, like the Tudor Black Bay GMT and the Tissot Seastar 1000 GMT. They had that two-tone look, but they weren’t exactly what I was looking for. I wanted that Root Beer feel.
Finding the Imitation
Then I stumbled upon this online store selling high imitation Rolexes, they’re not real of course, and they had the Root Beer GMT-Master II. I was a bit skeptical at first. But then I found some reviews and comments talking about how this one is pretty darn close to the original. Same colors, same hands, everything!
Ordering and Waiting
So, I took the plunge and ordered it. I was super excited, but also a bit nervous. I mean, what if it looked cheap or fake in person? I paid the money and it took a few days for them to process it. I got an email that said it was shipped out. And then the waiting game began.
Arrival and First Impressions
Finally, the package arrived! I ripped it open, and there it was. I have to say, I was pretty impressed. At first glance, it looked really good. The colors were spot on, and it had a nice weight to it. It definitely passed the first-glance test.
Closer Inspection
Of course, I had to take a closer look. I compared it to pictures of the real deal online, and honestly, it was hard to tell the difference. The details were all there, from the font on the bezel to the cyclops lens over the date. Obviously, it’s not going to fool a watch expert. I mean, it doesn’t have that fancy in-house caliber movement, and it’s not a certified chronometer. But for a regular guy like me, it was more than good enough.
Wearing It Out
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments. People think it’s a real Rolex! I haven’t told anyone it’s a fake, but I also haven’t tried to pass it off as the real thing. I just enjoy wearing it and looking at it. It feels great on my wrist.
Final Thoughts
- Is it a real Rolex? Absolutely not.
- Does it look like one? Pretty much, yeah.
- Am I happy with it? You bet!
For the price, I think it’s an amazing value. I get to enjoy the style and look of the Root Beer GMT-Master II without breaking the bank. It’s not perfect, but it’s perfect for me. I am thinking about buying another watch from this place, I’ll let you know how that goes.
