Rolex Wall Clock GMT - Master II
Rolex Wall Clock GMT - Master II
Well folks, my Rolex wall clock arrived today from AliExpress. Way better than I expected. Here's my review:
Rolex GMT II wall clock
LINKY - > https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000031 ... 4c4dT34tM4
Price shows $76, I paid $65-ish with RetailMeNot rebate and seller coupon
What surprised me:
- The heft. 3.28 pounds to be exact. Thought this would be mostly comprised of plastic or coated plastic to look like metal. It's all metal.
- The sweeping second hand. The mechanism on the back claims Rolex origins but don't all the watches from China, LOL.
- The pips/indices are raised metal and really well done.
- The lume. As I was taking the pictures the indices appeared to have lume material on them. After a quick check, absolutely lumed! Awesome.
- Stare-worthy. I could just watch that second hand for.....well maybe a minute. Still cool though.
Also:
- The bezel is of course fixed as is the GMT hand.
- The rehaut is not engraved, again no surprise there.
- My dial was misaligned by a degree and has debris under the "crystal" - removing 4 screws and all is fixed.
- Comes with a mounting hook with a clever way to embed the nails.
- I went with 34cm or 13.39 inches (they do come in 38cm from other sellers as pictured below for sizing)
So here's mine
Expecting the other one I ordered in about another week.

Looks awesome. Mine is still in shipping, but after a long decision, I went with the Polar Explorer II even though it cost a bit more.

Deep Sea delivered. Beautiful, just like the other.
Re: Rolex Wall Clock GMT - Master II
Nice! Good size and weight, that's a Rolex I can afford to buy. Does it come with a strap or bracelet?
Re: Rolex Wall Clock GMT - Master II
Ok this is awesome! I'm asking Santa for one for Christmas!
Edit: Did you get the sea dweller from the same seller?
EDIT EDIT: NVM. Did some digging and found it from that seller. These are so cool for a great price

Your experience is far better than mine with a cheaper clock.
Dumb question: does the date change?

Just my $0.02 USD as always.

GREAT Idea - but I don't have Rolex on my wrist (too many $$$) so why should I have it on my walls? Gotta look for other brands

In H.S. I had a poster of Heather Locklear on my wall......sadly we were never able to connect. Same for the Vector supercar.rich_in_the_lou wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 12:13 pm GREAT Idea - but I don't have Rolex on my wrist (too many $$$) so why should I have it on my walls?

I've really wanted one of these since I first saw them however I think it will just be an added constant reminder to wife of my watch hobby (addiction?, affliction?, madness?.....)
Edit to add: I think your pics and review may have won me over. I may have to get one

%99 of people do not notice or care whats on your wrist. All that matters is that YOU like what you see.
