In our Watches and Wonders feature for Rolex’s 2024 novelties, some of our readers may have spotted a glaring omission – the high quality replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II watches (Ref. 126710 GRNR). No, it wasn’t an oversight; far from it. Instead, we reckoned that the latest iteration of the beloved dual-time watch – and judging by the overwhelming interest online, it truly is – deserves a feature on its own, so here we are.
In all honesty, we are glad that we’ve waited until all the excitement and dust have settled before expressing our opinions on the Ref. 126710 GRNR, as it is somewhat of a slow burn. Perhaps we’ve been spoilt by Rolex in recent years. Since it introduced its first single-piece, two-colour ceramic bezel insert on the ‘Batman’ Ref. 116710 BLNR in 2013, it has presented AAA Rolex GMT-Master II fake watches UK that are instant crowd-pleasers, from 2014’s ‘Pepsi’ Ref. 116719 BLRO to 2022’s ‘Sprite’ Ref. 126720 VTNR. The grey-and-black Cerachrom bezel insert in this year’s release, however, is not new; it first appeared in 2023 on two variants of the model – one in yellow Rolesor and the other in 18 ct yellow gold.
It took us a while to warm up to it, but we’re glad that cheap Rolex copy watches chose to pair the monochromatic bezel with Oystersteel, as the combination reminds us of the understated elegance of the discontinued Ref. 116710 LN – the first all-steel luxury Rolex GMT-Master II replica watches for sale to be fitted with a Cerachrom bezel insert, which was just all-black. Reinforcing this impression is the black lacquer dial bearing the inscription ‘GMT-Master II’ in green, echoing the colour of the triangle-tipped 24-hour hand, just like the 2007 release. In addition, under certain lighting and at certain angles, the new watch’s bezel appears to be just black, given the subtle colour difference.
Aesthetic similarities aside, the new Swiss movements replica Rolex Ref. 126710 GRNR watches is very much a different beast, benefitting from the technological advancements Rolex has accrued over the years.
