At Watches & Wonders 2024, precious metals ruled the day—at least for Rolex fans, anyway. Those hoping for a slew of new tool AAA UK Rolex replica watches in stainless steel are going to have to hold their breath for another year, as the Crown delivered a slate that was largely gold, platinum, or diamond-encrusted.
There was one exception, however: A new take on the beloved perfect 1:1 fake Rolex GMT-Master II watches with a black-and-gray bezel. A fresh colorway for the brand’s 70-year-old travel watch, it was immediately available on both Oyster and Jubilee bracelets. And though it didn’t turn heads the way the controversial “left-handed” reference 126720VTNR did back in 2022, it’s an encapsulation of what top Rolex copy watches UK does best—namely, a small riff on a long-standing, well-loved model that doesn’t stray too far from the original design remit.
While I haven’t seen too many of the new black-and-gray luxury replica Rolex GMT-Master II watches in the wild yet, it was no surprise to see one pop up on the wrist of Roger Federer during a press event for the Laver Cup in Berlin this week. (Blink and you’ll have missed it—the Rolex testimonee has a different killer watch on every day of the week.) There it was on its Jubilee bracelet, poking out from a sleeve as he addressed the press and embraced Team Europe’s Captain Björn Borg, winner of a casual 11 Grand Slams. The black and gray can be difficult to discern—it doesn’t capture one’s attention quite like the red-and-blue “Pepsi” colorway, or even the red-and-black “Coke” of yesteryear—but it makes for a subtler take on the world’s most famous travel watch.
And kudos to Fed for springing for the Jubilee version. That multi-link bracelet, launched in 1945 on the then-new Datejust in celebration of Rolex’s 40th anniversary, has long been an available option on the GMT-Master. (These days, certain GMT references are sometimes launched with one bracelet or the other. The 126710GRNR launched on both the Jubilee and the Oyster simultaneously back in April.) And while I think Swiss movements fake Rolex GMT-Master II watches works well on an Oyster, I personally love the more refined look of the Jubilee on this model. It serves to further differentiate the watch from the Submariner, which is iconic in its own right on the Oyster.
Federer has, of course, “fancier” Rollies—the “Le Mans” Daytona in both its original white gold as well as in a newer yellow gold version. Two-tone Day-Dates, precious-metal Sky-Dwellers, even simpler Oyster Perpetual models. But the GMT-Master II is a true tool watch and a true Rolex icon. Designed in the 1950s for Pan Am crews to use while in flight, the cheap Swiss Rolex replica watches allows the user to track both local as well as GMT or home time. It’s evolved over the years: Originally, the GMT hand was adjoined to the main hour hand and could only be read in conjunction with the 12-hour bezel. Now, the local hour hand is completely independently adjustable, meaning that the Rolex super clone watches online can technically display three different time zones. (Without a 24-hour scale on the dial itself, this is difficult to compute on the fly, however.)
The 2024 China replica Rolex GMT-Master II watches is a classic due to its utility, ease of use, ubiquity, and handsome looks. It’s the type of well-designed piece of kit that never goes out of style no matter how it’s bezel is dressed up. Just ask Fed!
