Before coming after me for choosing a perfect replica Rolex in this category, hear me out. This is my second GMT pick of this year’s roundups, but I feel it is necessary to include this particular watch here because it is, without question, one of the most slept-on fake watches for sale — at least for the past eight months.

When this was unveiled at Watches & Wonders, it was my pick of the show. I had even near-accurately predicted it in the run-up to the show, so I was doubly happy to see it in the metal. This Swiss movement replica Rolex had buzz; everyone was chattering about it. But then, as the months have worn on, the talk has gone from a whisper to almost complete silence.

Well, here’s the wake-up call: The solid yellow gold 1:1 fake Rolex GMT-Master II on the long-awaited solid yellow gold Jubilee bracelet is – despite the hefty price tag and difficulty to find at retail (or on the secondary market for that matter) – just pure horological excitement. It’s on my list of “someday super clone watches online,” and it was a key moment of 2023.
