Price bands
Listings for a fake Rolex GMT-Master II "Root Beer" (ref. 126711CHNR two-tone, ref. 126715CHNR full Everose) fall in three bands. Entry: $50 to $150. Mid: $180 to $380. Top replica tier: $450 to $900. The spread comes from parts, not from case shape. A $60 watch and a $700 watch photograph the same. They do not feel the same on the wrist.

What sets the price
- Movement. Quartz or a low-grade automatic at entry. A clone 3285 or a modified ETA at the top. Check the sweep: 28,800 vph is 8 beats per second.
- Case metal. Two-tone models use gold plating or PVD over 316L or 904L steel. Plating thickness runs 3 to 10 microns. Thin plating wears through at the lugs and crown in months.
- Bezel. A ceramic insert with a molded two-color transition costs more than painted aluminum. Check the brown-to-black seam. On cheap inserts it is a printed line.
- Weight. A genuine two-tone GMT is about 150 g on a full bracelet. Replicas under 120 g use hollow links.
- Crystal and lume. Sapphire with cyclops AR coating, and lume that stays visible past 6 hours, are top-tier features.
Pitfalls
- Photos lifted from other sellers. Ask for a timestamped photo of the caseback and movement.
- "Swiss made" claims on a $90 watch. No Swiss movement exists at that price.
- An unstated movement. If the listing does not name it, assume a low-grade one.
- Water resistance claims. A replica rated 100 m often fails a 3 bar pressure test. Do not swim with it.
- No return policy. A payment method with no recourse leaves no path to a refund.
Parameters to confirm before paying
- Movement name and beat rate.
- Case diameter and lug-to-lug in millimeters.
- Bracelet type: solid links or hollow, and clasp code.
- Return window in days, and who pays return shipping.
- Stock location. Overseas stock means customs exposure.
Legal and shipping risk
Counterfeit watches are illegal to import and sell in the US under 18 U.S.C. § 2320 and 19 U.S.C. § 1526. CBP seizes shipments and notifies the brand owner. Seized goods are destroyed, and the buyer has no refund path through customs. Trafficking penalties reach $2,000,000 and 10 years for a first offense. A purchase for personal use is not a federal crime, but the shipment can still be seized.
