So, about a month ago, I finally got my hands on a Rolex GMT-Master II. This wasn’t just any watch; it’s the steel and everose gold version with that cool black and brown ceramic bezel. I’d been eyeing this model for a while, you know, the one they call the “Root Beer” – pretty neat, huh?
First off, I started digging around for info on this watch. The reference number is 126711 CHNR, and mine’s a 2023 model. When I got it, I checked it over real good. The bezel and crystal? Perfect condition, not a single scratch. The card that came with it is also dated 2023, and it looked pretty much brand new, which is always a good sign.
I was curious about the details, so I did some more digging. Found out this watch has a maxi black dial with these rose gold luminous round hour markers. They really pop, especially in the dark. It’s a nice touch, makes it feel even more premium.
Then there’s the bezel. It’s not just for show; it’s made out of solid 18k rose gold. I even found out it weighs 11.0 grams without the hardware to put it on. That’s some heavy metal right there, but it feels really balanced on the wrist.
- Getting the Watch: Picked it up about a month ago.
- Checking it Out: Looked over the bezel and crystal, all clear.
- Diving into Details: Noticed the dial and markers, pretty sharp.
- Bezel Talk: Found out it’s real rose gold, which is cool.
Wearing it around, it’s been great. It’s got that classic Rolex look but with a bit of a twist because of the colors. People notice it, too. I’ve had a few ask me about it, saying it looks sharp. It’s not just a watch; it’s like a little piece of craftsmanship you wear around.
The Whole Experience
So, from hunting it down to actually getting it and wearing it every day, it’s been a ride. This Rolex isn’t just another thing in the collection. It’s something special, and I’m stoked to have it. This whole thing with the Root Beer bezel, the rose gold, it all comes together to make something that feels, I don’t know, just right.
