Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Rolex GMT-Master II with the “Root Beer” bezel for a while now. It’s just such a cool-looking watch, you know? Finally decided to pull the trigger and get one. I started by doing a bit of digging around online. Learned that the “Root Beer” nickname comes from the brown and black colors, which kinda makes sense. It’s not every day you see a Rolex with those colors.
Then I found out this specific model is the 126711CHNR. I guess CHNR means chocolate and black in French or something. I spent a few days checking out different sellers. Man, there are a lot of places to buy watches online! It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest. Also, the availability is not quite good, I waited for almost 20 years for this model.
Finally, I found a seller that seemed legit. They had good reviews, and the price was in the right ballpark, not too crazy high, but also not suspiciously low. I mean, you gotta be careful with these things, right?
- Did a bunch of research online.
- Looked at tons of pictures of the watch.
- Compared prices from different sellers.
- Checked seller reviews and ratings.
So, I messaged the seller, asked a few questions about the watch’s condition, if it came with the box and papers, you know, the usual stuff. They were pretty responsive and answered everything clearly. Felt pretty good about it, so I decided to go for it!
I placed the order. Paid extra for expedited shipping ’cause I was too excited to wait. The next couple of days were torture! I kept checking the tracking info like every hour. It is produced in both stainless steel and yellow gold, which is fantastic.
Finally, the package arrived! I ripped that box open so fast. And there it was, the Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer”. It looked even better in person than in the pictures. The 40mm case with black dial is really bold. That brown and black bezel is just…chef’s kiss.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I’m loving it. It’s a great conversation starter, too. People always ask me about it. Definitely a good purchase. No regrets here!
What I learned:
- Patience is key. Don’t rush into buying an expensive watch.
- Do your homework. Research the model and the seller.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions. A good seller will be happy to answer them.
- Go with your gut. If something feels off, it probably is.
Anyway, that’s my story of getting a high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer”. Hope you enjoyed it!
