Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Rolex GMT-Master II Batman for a while now. You know, the one with the blue and black bezel? It’s a real looker. But, man, those prices at the official stores are just insane. So, I decided to try and find a good knockoff, a really good one, that looks just like the real deal.
First, I scoured the internet, reading all sorts of reviews and comparing different brands. Amazon had some decent options, like this Timex Allied Three GMT. It’s a good watch, for sure, but it’s not exactly what I was after. I wanted something that screamed “Rolex” without actually being a Rolex, you know?
Then I hit up eBay. There were tons of listings for the “Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR ‘Batman’.” Prices were all over the place, but some were definitely in the “too good to be true” category. I found a few sellers with good feedback and a bunch of listings, so I figured they must be doing something right.
- Found a seller with 99% positive feedback.
- Read through a bunch of their reviews. Seemed legit.
- Checked out their other listings. They had a whole bunch of different Rolex models.
After a few days of browsing and comparing, I stumbled upon a listing that looked promising. The pictures were high quality, the description was detailed, and the price was, well, let’s just say it was a lot less than what you’d pay for a brand-new one. This one was listed as “pre-owned” and “unworn,” from December 2022, in a “full set.” Whatever that means. It’s around $16,718.
I decided to take the plunge. I contacted the seller, asked a few questions, and made sure they had all the original box and papers. I felt a little uneasy, but I was excited. I’m not gonna lie. That feeling of getting a high imitation of a watch is just very satisfying for me.
Waiting Game
The waiting was the worst part. Every day, I checked the tracking information, hoping to see some progress. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the package arrived.
I opened the box carefully, and there it was. It looked amazing. The blue and black bezel was perfect. The weight felt substantial, and the overall quality seemed pretty darn good. I compared it to pictures of the real thing online, and honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference. The details were all there. The weight felt right, and it even had that satisfying click when you turned the bezel.
So, yeah, that’s my story of getting a high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Batman. It was a bit of a gamble, but it paid off. I got the watch I wanted without breaking the bank. It’s not the real deal, but it’s close enough for me. I wear it every day, and it feels great. I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’m still loving it. It keeps time perfectly, and it looks fantastic. Plus, I get compliments on it all the time. People always ask me if it’s real, and I just smile and say, “It’s a good one.” And honestly, I’m starting to believe it myself.
