Alright, let’s talk about this Rolex GMT-Master II, the left-handed version, also known as the “Sprite”. I’ve been messing around with a high imitation of this watch, and I gotta say, it’s pretty interesting. You know, I’ve always been into watches, especially Rolexes. Oyster, Daytona, Datejust – you name it, I’ve probably checked it out.
So, the first thing I did was to get my hands on this high imitation Rolex Sprite. What makes it left-handed? Well, they moved the date window and the crown to the 9 o’clock position instead of the usual 3 o’clock. This means you wear it on your right wrist, unlike the regular watches that go on your left wrist.
I spent a good amount of time comparing it with pictures and specs of the real deal. The case is supposed to be 40mm, with a thickness of about 11.90mm, and a lug-to-lug measurement of around 48mm. I measured the imitation, and it’s surprisingly close to these numbers. It feels solid, just like how you’d expect a Rolex to feel.
Wearing it on my right wrist felt a bit weird at first, but I got used to it. The imitation does a good job of mimicking the feel of the original, though I’m sure a true watch expert would notice the differences in quality. But for an average guy like me, it’s more than good enough. I even wore it around a couple of friends who know a thing or two about watches, and they didn’t immediately spot it as a fake. Made me chuckle a bit, to be honest.
I also looked into other brands like Omega, Tudor, IWC, Cartier, Breitling, and Grand Seiko. They all have some great entry-level watches that are way cheaper than a Rolex. And the best part? You can actually walk into a store and buy one without jumping through hoops, not like the “real” ones.
- Got my hands on a high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II left-handed “Sprite”.
- Checked the specs: 40mm case, 11.90mm thick, 48mm lug-to-lug.
- Wore it on my right wrist, felt a bit odd but got used to it.
- Compared it with other brands like Omega, Tudor, IWC, Cartier, Breitling, and Grand Seiko.
At the end of the day, this whole experience was more about satisfying my curiosity than anything else. If you’re thinking about diving into the world of high imitation watches, just remember to do your homework and manage your expectations. It’s a fun little adventure, but always keep in mind that it’s not the real thing, no matter how close it looks or feels. And hey, always wear your watch on your “correct” wrist, whatever that means to you!
