Review of the Rolex GMT Master II
It fits my wrist perfectly, it's beautiful without being overdone, and it's very functional. The solid stainless steel feels like satin in your hands, and the movement feels tight (in a good way) and precise as you adjust the hands. The bezel is easy to rotate but firm, the sapphire crystal is perfectly polished, and I love everything about the bracelet except the clasp. If you're looking for a very handsome, very high quality, low-key buy Ulysse Nardin to accompany you on trips across time zones, the GMT Master II will not disappoint.The Rolex GMT Master II is available with a black or brown (ugh!) dial, and with three different bezel styles: all back, red and black, and the classic blue and red (also knows as the Pepsi bezel). The Rolex GMT Master II currently sells for $4,525 and is almost never discounted. As always, if you decide to go Rolex shopping, make sure you are buying from an authorized dealer or a reputable personal seller. Don't expect discounts on stainless steel sports models, make sure all the ***work is in order, and if the price looks too good to be true, it is.The Ulysse Nardin replica watches overall has an amazingly solid feel that exudes quality and craftsmanship -- until you get to the clasp. The first thing I don't like is how Rolex tries to make it invisible by stamping a pattern into it that makes it blend in with the bracelet. Clasps are an important part of a watch, and in my opinion, should be emphasized and celebrated, not hidden. And the second thing I don't like is the fact that it's too thin and cheap looking. Admittedly I haven't had any problems with it, and the Oysterlock bracelet is generally very well respected, but I maintain that the clasp looks cheap and a little silly. If I've come to realize anything about Ulysse Nardin gift over the years, however, it's that you will never find a single watch that you love every last thing about and has every last feature you want, so in the overall scheme of things, I can overlook the clasp issue -- as long as it stays fastened.Overall, I love the GMT Master II.
