Okay, so I’ve been on this whole watch kick lately, right? And not just any watch, but trying to find a decent fake of the Rolex GMT-Master II, specifically that “Root Beer” bezel one. It’s a real looker, but ain’t no way I’m dropping that kind of cash on a real one. So, I started digging.
First off, I started hitting up Google, just to get a feel for what’s out there. I saw some people talking about Tudor and Tissot having some watches that look kind of like the Rolex, but I wanted to go full fake, you know?
The Search Begins
I stumbled onto this forum, which seemed like it was all about replica watches. There was a bunch of chatter about the “best” GMT-Master II replicas, and people kept going on about these “Batman” and “Pepsi” versions which I guess are other color combos? Anyway, it was all pretty overwhelming.
I started sifting through all these posts, trying to figure out which “vendors” were legit. Apparently, there are all these different factories making these fakes, and some are way better than others. I saw people talking about a “Consensual List” of good replicas, which sounded kind of funny, but hey, if it works, it works.
Narrowing It Down
After a few days of reading, I narrowed it down to three vendors that seemed to have good reviews. The problem was, there were still so many options! Every vendor had, like, five different versions of the same watch, each with a slightly different movement or whatever. Honestly, I don’t even know what half that stuff means, I just wanted a watch that looked good and kept time.
I finally decided to just pull the trigger and ordered one. I found one that looked pretty darn close to the real “Root Beer” Rolex, at least in the pictures. I mean, I’m no expert, but it had the right colors on the bezel and the overall shape seemed right. It was a bit of a gamble, but I figured it was worth a shot.
The Waiting Game
The waiting was the worst part. I kept checking the tracking info, even though I knew it was going to take a while. It felt like forever, but finally, the package arrived.
The Big Reveal
I ripped open that box like a kid on Christmas morning. And you know what? It actually looked pretty good! I mean, it’s not perfect. It feels a little lighter than I expected, and the bracelet feels a bit cheap, but for the price, I can’t really complain.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and it’s been keeping time pretty well. I even got a few compliments on it, which is kind of funny. Overall, I’m pretty happy with my fake Rolex. It scratched that itch, and I didn’t have to break the bank to do it. I guess sometimes, a little imitation is all you need.
- Started with some basic Google searching.
- Found a forum dedicated to replica watches.
- Narrowed down the options to a few vendors.

It’s a solid fake, and it definitely gives off those fancy watch vibes without the crazy price tag. I’d say it’s a win in my book.
