Man, I gotta tell you guys about this wild ride I just went on. So, I’ve been eyeing a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi for the longest time, but the real deal? Way out of my budget. I mean, who has that kind of cash just lying around? Not me, that’s for sure. I looked at a real Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi 16710, the A serial from 1999, but it was still way too expensive. So, I started looking into these high-imitation versions, and let me tell you, the internet is a rabbit hole of options.
I started by comparing tons of pictures and videos online. I wanted to see if these imitation makers could really nail down the details, especially that iconic Pepsi bezel. I even watched videos that used UV light to show those hidden features on the real Rolexes. Did the fakes have them? I had to know!.
- First, I started checking out different online stores that sell these imitation watches.
- Then, I spent hours reading reviews and watching videos, comparing the fakes to the real deal.
- I paid close attention to the bezel, the hands, the markers, and even how heavy the watch felt.
After months of digging, I found a store that seemed promising. Their High imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer Bezel looked amazing in the pictures. I was skeptical, but I decided to take a chance. When the watch arrived, I was blown away. This thing was almost identical to the real one! The bezel colors were spot on, and it even had some of that “bezel lip” that the original has, which made me really happy. I compared it with a genuine Rolex GMT Master II 16710 coke bezel and was amazed how hard it was to tell them apart.
Now, I know it’s not the real thing, but for the price? I’m thrilled. I can wear it without constantly worrying about scratching or losing it. Plus, I get to enjoy the look and feel of a classic Rolex without selling a kidney. I even figured out that the real GMT-Master II lets you read three time zones because the 24-hour hand is independent, which is super cool.
I found out that to spot a fake, you should check the case for a serial number and see how the bezel rotates and looks. Mine passed those tests with flying colors! One time, I was looking at a Rolex 16710 U Pepsi GMT Master II Holes Case and couldn’t even tell the difference with my high-imitation one. It was crazy!
Overall, this whole experience has been a blast. I learned a ton about Rolexes, found a great imitation, and saved a bunch of money. If you’re like me and love the look of a Rolex but can’t afford the real thing, definitely look into these high-imitation versions. You might be surprised at what you find!
