Okay, let’s dive into my little adventure with the Rolex GMT-Master II Batman Bezel.
So, I’ve always been a watch guy, but let’s be real, dropping a huge amount of cash on a genuine Rolex? Not in my budget, folks. But I really liked that Rolex GMT-Master II Batman, especially the black and blue bezel. That thing is sweet! So I started looking at where to find a good fake, which is surprisingly hard. You wouldn’t believe how many sites I checked out.
First off, I dived into Amazon, looking at the reviews, and I found this brand, Timex. They had this watch called the Allied Three GMT, and it was kind of similar and not too expensive. But it wasn’t really what I wanted, you know? It didn’t have that Rolex feel. I wanted that Batman look.
Next, I spent hours on eBay, which was a complete mess. So many listings, so many different prices. I saw some “Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR ‘Batman'” going for like 15 grand! I mean, come on, if I had that kind of money, I’d probably get a real one. But in all that mess, I did find a couple of cheaper options. Still, they were too pricey for a fake. Plus, who knows if those sellers were even legit? Too risky.
I read somewhere that a real Rolex GMT-Master II has the hour hand on the bottom of the hand stack. So, I made sure to check for that in the photos. Most of these online stores had pictures that were too blurry or just didn’t show the watch hands clearly. That was a big red flag for me. If they can’t even show a clear picture of the hands, what else are they hiding, right?
I even looked at some listings that had what seemed like decent prices, around $17,900, but again, too much for a fake. One listing said, “Rolex GMT Master II 116710BLNR Batman Stainless Steel 40mm BP…” But what does BP even mean? Was it used? Was it even a good fake? Too many questions, not enough answers. I almost gave up and I was getting tired.
Finally Made It
After all that searching, I finally found a watch that looked pretty good. It had a circumference of about 17cm and weighed 207g. They said it was in working condition, which was good to hear. The pictures were clear, and I could see the hour hand was where it was supposed to be. The bezel looked right, that black and blue was just like the real Batman. It wasn’t too expensive, either, compared to those other crazy listings.
So, I took a chance and ordered it. I was a bit nervous, not going to lie. But when it arrived, I was pretty happy. It looked great on my wrist, and it felt good, too. Not exactly like a real Rolex, but hey, it’s close enough for me. And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.
So, that’s my story. It took a while, but I finally got my hands on a high-quality fake of the Rolex GMT-Master II Batman. And for a price that didn’t make me feel like I was getting robbed. It’s not perfect, but for a regular guy like me, it’s a pretty sweet deal. Just remember to be careful out there, there’s a lot of junk online, and it’s easy to get scammed. Do your homework, and hopefully, you’ll find what you’re looking for, just like I did.
