Okay, so I’ve been wanting a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Bezel for a while now. But, you know, the real deal is way out of my budget. So, I started looking into getting a really good fake one, a high imitation, they call it. I figured, why not? I just wanted something that looks like the real thing without having to sell a kidney.
First, I had to find a good place to buy these things. I’m not gonna lie, this was a bit tricky. I mean, these are not exactly sold in your regular online shops. I had to look around for a place that I can trust and I have to be careful not to get scammed.
After days of searching and digging through forums and some shady-looking websites, I finally found an online store that seemed okay. They had pictures, descriptions, the whole shebang. I decided to take the plunge and ordered one. It wasn’t cheap, but it was definitely cheaper than a real Rolex.
While waiting for it to arrive, I started reading up on how to tell a real Rolex from a fake one. I came across this tip about the order of the hands. Apparently, on a real Rolex GMT-Master II, the hands are stacked in a specific order: Hour, GMT, then Minutes. I made a mental note of that, thinking it would be a good way to check my watch when it arrived.
Another thing I learned was about this secret detail that shows up under UV light. Some real Rolexes have these hidden features that you can only see with a UV light. I watched some videos about it. It is pretty cool, and I wondered if my fake one would have that too.
- Checking the hand stack: When the watch finally arrived, the first thing I did was look at the hands. I tried to remember the order – Hour, GMT, Minutes. It looked right to me, but I’m no expert.
- UV light test: Then, I got a UV light and checked for those hidden details. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but I was curious. Turns out, my watch didn’t have any of those secret features. Not a big surprise, but it would have been cool if it did.
In the end, even though the watch is not perfect, it still looks pretty good. I wear it all the time. Most people can’t tell the difference and I get compliments on it. It’s not a real Rolex, but it does the job for me. Plus, I didn’t have to spend a fortune, which is a big win in my book.
So, yeah, that’s my story of getting a high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Bezel. It was a bit of an adventure, but I’m happy with how it turned out. It’s a nice watch, and it makes me feel good wearing it. What more could you ask for?
