Hands-On with the Rolex GMT-Master II Replica Watches

The headline Rolex this year was the Rolex GMT-Master II Replica  “Pepsi” in steel on a Jubilee bracelet, a watch both heavily lauded and hankered after. Yet in the metal, the “Pepsi” was patently upstaged – at least in terms of extravagance – by the two “Root Beers”, sepia-toned executions of the GMT-Master II.

The GMT-Master II ref. 126715 CHNR is entirely in 18k Everose gold, while the GMT-Master II ref. 126711 CHNR is in Everose Rolesor, a combination of steel and rose gold.Both references are the first of the Best Replica Watches GMT-Master II in 18k Everose gold, Rolex’s proprietary formulation of rose gold that is fade-resistant thanks to a little platinum mixed inside.

The defining characteristic of any GMT-Master is its bezel; in fact, most GMT-Master variants were nicknamed after their bezel colours. And so it is the Everose bezel that makes the watch, on both of them.The Replica Watches look is entirely new, yet reminiscent of gold or two-tone GMT-Masters from the late 20th century that had a distinctive brown and gold bezel to match caramel dials, giving rise to the “Root Beer” nickname.

The brown and black combination is a first in Cerachrom, the label Cheap Rolex Replica applies to its ceramic bezel inserts. While the colours are new, the ceramic insert is produced in a similar fashion to those found in other models.

The markings are first engraved and then the insert is plated with pink gold, before having its surface polished to remove the layer on gold on top, but leaving the plating inside the engraved markings.

The Rolesor model, however, isn’t far behind. In fact, it looks more striking with the contrast between the Everose and steel. The Rolex Replica Watches gold bezel, crown and hour markers play off the flash of gold on the centre links of the bracelet brilliantly, much like the original “Root Beer” GMTs that were typically two-tone, lending it a luxurious yet sporty feel.

Like the bezel, the dials on both Rolex GMT-Master II Replica Watches are identical, black matched with gold hour markers and hands, along with “GMT-Master II” in rose gilt print.The case remains the same 40mm as the older GMT-Master models, except with slightly more tapered lugs, while water-resistance stays the same at 100m.
