It must be the very fake Rolex ever issued of this replica watch when it comes to GMT Masters. Designed to be the watch of selection for Pan-Am pilots, the GMT Master became the benchmark when it comes to two-timezone watches. A title that is still as true today as it was when the watch was released in 1954. Despite being the first, what mainly sets it apart from later versions of this model is the bakelite bezel. The thought behind it is that even in low-light conditions you could easily check the time in both time-zones. So it must have looked so great when these watches were first issued, it was also a cause for trouble. The numerals inside the bezel are actually filled in with Radium. Bakelite is by itself already quite brittle, and combined with the radioactivity of the Radium made it that fake watches Rolex discontinued this bezel so fast.
Rolex GMT Masters replica watch which still has the original bakelite bezel is very rare, especially after more than 60 years. What makes them even rarer is when the bezel is still in great shape and indicates a rather awesome discoloration like this cheap fake Rolex GMT Master does. This is an unusual occurrence that watches collectors refer to as “tropical”.
Now there are tropical watches. The one on this GMT-Master is clearly of the latter category, showing a beautiful, even discoloration of both the dial and the bezel in a deep terracotta hue. Discoloration like this is very rare, and although this reference by itself is already quite a challenge to find in such a remarkable nice condition, the dial and bezel on this special GMT Master make it a unique piece. It goes in the direction of the Root Beer GMT Master; only this watch has more of a red tone in the dial. Unique is also that the half of the bezel that was originally red turned to the same color as the originally black dial!
Additionally, this is exactly the reason why the Rolex replica with tropical dials commands such premiums over the same model with a regular dial. They are rare, unique, and add an extra layer of character to an already replica Rolex charismatic watch.
