Okay, so, let me tell you about this whole Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer Bezel thing. I’ve been eyeing this watch for what feels like forever. It’s the one from the official flagship store, and man, is it a beauty!
I started by doing some digging online. There’s a lot of buzz around this “Root Beer” model, which is officially called the GMT-Master II. I found out that they can cost anywhere from ten grand to over twenty! Can you believe it? That’s a lot of dough!
Then I stumbled upon some information about a new two-tone version that Rolex released at Baselworld back in 2018. It’s got this brown bezel, and they call it the ref. 126711CHNR. It looked amazing in the pictures.
I thought, “Okay, if I’m going to do this, I need to see what else is out there.” So, I checked out some reviews on Amazon, just to see what people were saying about similar watches. I found this American brand, Stuhrling, that had a watch that looked pretty similar. They called it their “Root Beer” GMT-Master II, and honestly, it looked almost exactly like the real thing. The bracelet seemed nice in the photos, and the colors of the bezel were spot on.
After all of my research, I decided to explore the world of high imitations. There’s a whole market for these things, and I figured it might be worth checking out. If I could get something that looks basically the same but for way less, why not, right? I started searching for the “best replica” and where to find the best deals.
I read a lot online, searched in many different places, asked some friends, and finally, I pulled the trigger. I ordered a high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II, “original order” as they call it.
- Waiting for it to arrive was torture!
- When it finally showed up, I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning.
- And you know what? It was pretty darn impressive!
- I compared it to pictures of the real deal online, and it was hard to tell the difference.
The End?
So yeah, that’s my story about getting a high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer Bezel. It was a bit of a journey, but in the end, I got a watch that looks and feels great, and I didn’t have to sell a kidney to get it. I wore it out the other day, and I even got a few compliments! Not bad, huh?
