Alright, folks, let’s talk about my latest project. I got my hands on a high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II, the original order version. You know, the kind that makes you do a double-take. I was pretty excited to see what this thing was all about, so I dove right in.
Getting Started
First thing I did was to inspect it, I gave it a good look over, checking out the details. The bezel, the cyclops lens, the bracelet – everything looked spot on. Even the weight felt right. It’s crazy how close they got this thing to the real deal.
Breaking It Down
- Unscrewing the Case Back: I grabbed my trusty case back opener. I had to be careful not to scratch the polished finish. Once I popped off the back, I could see the movement inside.
- Admiring the Movement: I was really impressed with the movement. It’s a clone of the Rolex 3285, which is kind of a big deal. I examined all the engravings, and the finishing of it. It’s really well-made for a copy.
- Checking the Timekeeping: I wound it up and set the time. Then, I put it on my timegrapher to see how accurate it was. I used it to see the rate, the amplitude, and the beat error. Not too shabby.
- Water Resistance Test: Next, I wanted to see if it could handle some water. I put it in my pressure tester and cranked it up. I left it to test for some time, and it passed. I was really amazed by it.
Putting It Back Together
After all that, I carefully put everything back together. I made sure the case back was screwed on tight to keep it water-resistant. The whole process was pretty smooth, and I didn’t run into any major issues.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, I’m pretty blown away by this high imitation Rolex. It’s not just a good copy; it’s a well-made watch in its own right. Of course, it’s not a genuine Rolex, and I’m not trying to pass it off as one. But for the price, it’s a really impressive piece of work. It was a fun project, and I learned a lot about watchmaking in the process.
So, there you have it. That’s my experience with this high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II. I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you’re into watches, it’s definitely worth checking out. Just remember to always be honest about what you’re buying and wearing.
