Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another hands-on project to share. Today, I got my hands dirty working on a High imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Batman Bezel, Original order. Yeah, you heard that right, the Batman. Let me walk you through my whole process, from start to finish.
Getting Started
First things first, I started hunting down information about this watch. I found some listings, like one for $14,750, another for $13,232, and even one for $12,649. These prices gave me a good idea of what the real deal costs. It’s not cheap, to say the least. Then I dug into the specs. I learned that the real Batman GMT-Master II, model 116710BLNR, comes with Rolex’s classic 40mm Oyster case. Not just that, but I also looked at the newer model, 126710BLNR-0003, to see what’s new.
Diving Into the Details
I spent a good chunk of time comparing the “Batman” and “Batgirl” models. It’s interesting how similar yet different they are. I read about the materials, too. Some of these high-end watches use High-Intensity Titanium, which sounds pretty cool and tough. And they’re water-resistant up to 100 meters. The dimensions are around 44.8mm x 14.7mm, with a lug-to-lug of 50.9mm. Sounds big, but from what I read, it fits nicely on the wrist.
Planning the Project
After gathering all this info, I started planning my project. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I had to figure out how to make it look like the real thing, with that iconic black and blue bezel. I mean, that’s what makes it the “Batman,” right? My goal was to get as close as possible to the original without spending a fortune. I was determined to get that color scheme spot on, even if it took me a while.
The Hands-On Work
Now, this is where the fun began. I rolled up my sleeves and started working on the bezel. I tried different materials and techniques. It wasn’t easy to get that perfect two-tone look, but I kept at it. I experimented with different paints and coatings, trying to find the right combination. Let me tell you, it was a lot of trial and error. Some attempts looked off, but I didn’t give up. I kept tweaking and adjusting until I got something that looked pretty darn close.
The Final Touches
After many attempts, I finally achieved a bezel that I was proud of. It had that distinctive black and blue look, just like the original Batman. I made sure every detail was as accurate as possible. It was a lot of work, but seeing the finished product made it all worth it. I compared it to pictures of the real Rolex GMT-Master II Batman, and honestly, I was impressed with how close I got.
Wrapping Up
So, there you have it. My journey of creating a High imitation Rolex GMT-Master II Batman Bezel, Original order. It was a challenging but rewarding project. I learned a lot about the watch itself and honed my crafting skills along the way. Hope you enjoyed hearing about my process.
