Rolex GMT Master II Ceramic Watch Video Review
Posted by The Breitling Source under Rolex , Watch Reviews[4] Comments
Forgot to post all my video reviews on here for the past few months so I have started with the ones I missed. Here’s the first, which is a Rolex GMT-IIc… really love this watch and see it residing in my collection for a long time. Fantastic all-round watch, and in my opinion, better than the previous GMT. Many Rolex traditionalists prefer the old school pepsi and coke bezel GMT, but I feel that in this case, change is good!

Enjoyed your Rolex GMT Master II Video Review. Does yours have the coronet/crown ingraved at the bottom of the crystal at the six o’clock position? I purchased the same watch from an authorized dealer in 2010 (watch made in 2007) and it does not have the engraved crown. I have actually seen the crown on several replicas, but not on my watch. Now I am questioning if mine is actually authentic.
thanks in advance

Hi Steve, Mine does indeed have the crown on the sapphire crystal. However, the crown engraving on the genuine watches is MUCH lighter than the one on the replicas.. The replica ones are very easy to see with the naked eye… the Genuine watches you can’t really see it unless you look really hard, and if your eyesight isn’t great, you might need a loupe. That’s actually one way to tell real from fake. The fakes have a very obvious engraving.

Thanks very much for your response to my question regarding the engraved crown. I appreciate it.

Follow up – I found it !! Used a very strong magnifying glass, and very strong light, and there it was. As you indicated, much more difficult to see than in the replicas.
Thanks again
Steve
