Imagine yourself walking inside a five star hotel somewhere in Europe. You are alone and you are wearing your business suit. You are about to check in to get a room for two nights. You smile at the lady behind the counter and you set your travelling bag down. You notice that she looks kind of cute and her looks at you seem to be returning the same interest. You say “Hi.” and you put your hand on the desk to rest a little. There, your Rolex watch peeks out. The lady behind the desk glances at it instinctively and you know that without saying a word – that you’ve made your point.
That is the power of a Rolex watch. Wearing one is an act of communication in itself. It is you exuding confidence, power, elegance and prestige. The minute they see the glimmering timepiece on your wrist – people are made aware of who and what you are.
Geneva based watchmaker Rolex, has been in the business of crafting not merely timepieces but masterpieces. Each Rolex model in itself is a testament to that master art. Donned by celebrities such as Sean Connery in the early James Bond movies, political revolutionaries like Che Guevarra, it has no doubt been seen in many, many varied and significant events.
Through the years as it has built its brand and reputation, its prices have also catered to those in the upper echelons of society rendering it inaccessible for 90% of the world’s population.
This, however, did not deter the entrepreneurial spirit of replica makers. With the advent of technology and entrepreneurship, brave and daring individuals have begun work on replicating these masterpieces. Among these replica is the Rolex GMT-Master replica watch – the genuine watch was worn by no less than Che Guevarra.
