Okay, so I finally decided to get my hands on this high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II, the left-handed version. It’s been all over my social media feeds, and you know how it is – you see something enough times, and you start thinking, “Maybe I need that in my life.”
First off, I did some digging. This watch is nicknamed the “Sprite Jubilee” or something, and there’s also one they call the “Shadow” because of its black and grey bezel. I even tried searching for these nicknames on the official Rolex site – kinda fun, but I wasn’t about to drop that kind of cash on the real deal.
This particular model, the 126720, it’s pretty much a copy of the older ones design-wise. I read somewhere that the movement, whether it’s a 3186 or a 3285, has an independent GMT hand, which is apparently a big deal for people who actually travel or care about that stuff. Me? I just like how it looks, to be honest.
So I found a seller online, one of those places that sell “pre-owned” watches. I figured it’s the same idea, just way cheaper. This one was listed as a “Rolex GMT-Master II 126720 Stainless Steel sku 170651 Black” – I think that’s like the model number or whatever. The tag says it’s “in stock,” so that’s good, right?
The whole process was pretty straightforward. I placed the order, paid for it, and a few days later, the package arrived. Unboxing it felt a little like Christmas morning, I gotta admit. The watch was all wrapped up nicely, and it looked even better in person than in the pictures. The details are pretty spot-on, down to the two-color bezel and the extra 24-hour hand. The stainless steel feels solid, and the watch itself has some good weight to it.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s definitely a conversation starter – people notice it. Of course, I’m not trying to pass it off as a genuine Rolex. But for the price, I think it’s a pretty good imitation. It looks good, it feels good, and it tells the time. What more could you ask for?
- Ordered the watch online from a “pre-owned” seller.
- Paid and waited for shipping.
- Received the package and unboxed the watch.
- Inspected the watch and confirmed the details.
- Started wearing the watch and enjoying it.
Overall, it’s been a fun little experience. It’s not about pretending to be something I’m not. It’s more about enjoying the style and design of a classic watch without breaking the bank. And hey, if anyone asks, I’ll tell them the truth – it’s a high imitation, and I’m perfectly fine with that.
