Alright, let’s talk about this Rolex GMT-Master II, you know, the one with the “Root Beer” bezel. I’ve always been a fan of this particular model, and recently I decided to get my hands on a high-quality replica. I mean, who can afford the real deal these days, right? It’s more about the look and feel anyway.
So, I started my search. I browsed through a bunch of different places, trying to find the best version out there. I wanted something that was as close to the original as possible. I read a lot about the reference number 126711 CHNR, which is the one I was after. Apparently, the new ones are from 2023.
I finally found a seller that seemed reputable. They had a pretty good selection, and the photos of their Root Beer GMT-Master II looked promising. I decided to take the plunge and placed my order.
The waiting game began. It took a few weeks, but it finally arrived. I opened the package and there it was. It looked pretty darn good, I have to say. The ceramic bezel, which is supposed to be super hard, had that distinct two-tone brown and black color, just like the original. And the crystal was flawless, no scratches or anything.
- I examined the bracelet, and the quality seemed decent.
- I put it on my wrist and it felt pretty good. It had some weight to it, which is what you want in a watch like this.
- I started playing with the GMT function, setting the second time zone and all that. It seemed to work just fine.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now, and I’m pretty happy with it. It definitely gives off that Root Beer vibe that I was going for. Of course, it’s not a genuine Rolex, but for the price, I think it’s a great alternative. It scratches that itch, you know?
I also did some research on the real thing while waiting for this one. Apparently, the waitlist for a genuine Root Beer can be up to two years. There are some other brands out there like Stuhrling, Mathey-Tissot, Meccaniche Veneziane, and Squale that make similar-looking watches, but they don’t quite capture the same feel.
Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase. It’s a high-quality replica that looks and feels great. If you’re looking for a Root Beer GMT-Master II but don’t want to break the bank or wait forever, I’d say it’s worth considering a replica like this one.
