Today’s model is a luxury fake Rolex GMT-Master II. It’s been a remarkably strange year for movies. In the wake of COVID-19’s continued presence, the release cycle has been thrown completely out of whack. Movies have been delayed once, twice, and thrice – appearing on streaming services in conjunction with short theatrical runs. There are so many new films on every single streaming platform that it’s hard to keep track of them all, or know if they’re worth watching. One such movie – directed by last week’s featured actor, George Clooney – is The Tender Bar, a coming-of-age story about a young boy who forges a bond with a bartending uncle played by Affleck.

That got us thinking about Gone Girl, in which Dunne’s world collapses after his wife vanishes. Her story becomes national news, and he becomes a criminal suspect. But he soon has reason to believe he’s being set-up. All the while, in both flashback and present day, he wears a perfect replica Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 16710 with a red and blue Pepsi bezel. While there’s plenty of mistaking to be had throughout the movie, there’s no mistaking this watch.

Dunne is a Missouri boy who becomes a New York writer bro, and he already has the luxury fake Rolex GMT-Master II when he meets his wife Amy (played by Rosamund Pike) in 2005. He continues to wear it through their entire relationship, all the way up to present day, when the film takes place (meaning 2014). That means, at a minimum, Dunne is a one-watch guy for nearly a decade. I’ll always be jealous of a one-watch guy, and the Swiss made copy Rolex Pepsi GMT is a fantastic choice for a monogamous wristwear relationship.

The best quality replica Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 16710 is a watch in historical limbo. It was the last of the pre-ceramic GMT-Masters and, in many ways, is still a modern watch despite commanding prices that would suggest it’s vintage. It’s the second version of the cheap copy Rolex GMT-Master II, the successor to the 16760 which ran from 1982-1988. Unlike the 16760, it had quite a long lifespan, touching three different decades, from 1989 – 2007. Hallmarks of the watch are its aluminum bezel insert with the red and blue coloring, meant to help differentiate between day and night – an AM/PM indicator displayed in a 24-hour scale. It has a glossy black dial, with small applied markers (compared to Rolex “Maxi Dial” markers) with white gold surrounds. It’s fitted to the classic, fully brushed Oyster bracelet with a double locking enclosure system, and it’s sized at an incredibly wearable 40mm.

Dunne is a men’s fashion writer for an undisclosed magazine in the film. While I don’t know his salary, it’s not hard to believe he could have managed to afford such a timepiece in the early aughts. Assuming the top Swiss fake Rolex was relatively new to him when he met Amy in 2005, the watch would have cost somewhere in the ballpark of $4,000. Adjusting for inflation, that amount of money (not the watch itself) would be worth about $6,000 here in 2022.

Compare that to the price of a new, ceramic Pepsi Bezel Rolex GMT-Master II replica for sale today, which is $10,550 (and, of course, more on the aftermarket). Back then, buying a super clone Rolex GMT online would’ve been similar to purchasing an Omega Seamster Professional 300m today. Not cheap, but also not otherworldly. And a great watch.
