Alright, so I’ve been eyeing this Rolex GMT-Master II, the left-handed version, and I finally decided to pull the trigger. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you.
First off, I started doing some digging online. Found out this thing is pretty unique, you know? It’s a left-handed watch, so the crown is on the left side, not the right. I guess that means you don’t have to twist your wrist all weird to adjust it, and the date window is easier to see without pulling your sleeve up all the time. Made sense to me.
I also learned that this particular model, the 116718LN, isn’t even made anymore. It’s got this yellow gold case, a black ceramic bezel, and a green dial. Pretty flashy, but in a good way.
Then came the hard part – finding a good high imitation version. Yeah, I know, it’s not the real deal, but the original is way out of my price range. I mean, we’re talking like 17 grand or something crazy like that. No way I could afford that.
- Started searching online: I looked at tons of websites, forums, you name it.
- Compared prices and details: Some places were selling them for a few hundred bucks, others were way more expensive. It was hard to know what was a good deal and what was a ripoff.
- Read reviews: Tried to find reviews from people who actually bought one of these high imitation watches. Some were good, some were bad, it was a mixed bag.
I stumbled upon a few sellers that seemed legit. They had nice-looking websites and everything. One of them even mentioned something about a “Clean Factory” and a “GMF” version with some fancy movement called a VR3186. Honestly, I didn’t know what any of that meant, but it sounded good, so I went with it.
I ordered the watch, paid for it, and then started the waiting game. It felt like forever, but eventually, it showed up at my door.
Opened the box, and there it was. Looked pretty good, actually. Felt heavy, the colors were right, and everything seemed to work. I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I’m happy with it. It’s not a real Rolex, but it’s a darn good imitation.
Final Thoughts
Getting this high imitation Rolex GMT-Master II left-handed version was a whole process. Lots of research, comparing, and a bit of a gamble. But in the end, I got a watch I like at a price I could afford. And that’s all that matters, right? I did wear it on my left wrist.
