Rolex Root Beer Super Clone

What the nickname designates

“Root Beer” denotes GMT-Master II references with a brown-and-black rotatable bezel, the colour combination resembling the beverage’s appearance. The current production reference is 126711CHNR in yellow gold and 126715CHNR in rose gold. A stainless steel variant, 126710CHNR, completes the modern lineup. All carry identical dial and bezel geometry; material distinguishes the variants.

Available variants

Two clones are listed, both at USD 1349 with 40 mm cases and automatic movements. Rolex GMT-Master II 126715CHNR Rose Gold replicates the rose-gold variant: 40 mm case with rose-gold plating and brown-black bezel. Rolex GMT-Master II 126711CHNR Brown/Black offers stainless steel with black dial and the brown-black ceramic bezel. Reference numbers differ by material specification; dial and bezel remain consistent.

Bezel and QC notes

The brown-black bezel transition is the defining characteristic; the QC video confirms colour saturation and the ceramic split-line alignment. Bezel rotation mechanics are notched for discrete 1-hour steps on the 24-hour scale. The rose-gold variant undergoes plating durability inspection; case-side finish and bracelet tone are verified under daylight. Both variants are photographed and videoed before dispatch.

Questions about this nickname

Is the rose-gold variant genuine rose gold or plated?
The rose-gold variant is stainless steel with rose-gold surface plating, not solid precious metal. The plating is applied during case finishing; durability depends on wear conditions. Plating will show wear marks under regular wrist contact over time.

Are the bezel mechanics identical on both variants?
The bezel is ceramic in both stainless and rose-gold clones. Rotation and notching are identical. The 24-hour GMT functionality is the same; only the case metal and dial colour differ between the two variants.

Can I verify the reference number on the rose-gold variant?
Yes. The reference 126715CHNR is engraved on the case back and printed on the dial. The QC close-up photograph shows both markings. The rose-gold variant's reference is distinct from the stainless steel 126711CHNR.

Does the brown bezel fade under UV light?
Ceramic is colour-stable under normal sunlight, though all colours shift slightly with prolonged UV exposure. Brown tones may deepen with age. This is normal ceramic behaviour and not a manufacturing defect.
