Built around the 126711CHNR reference, this Rolex GMT-Master II 126711CHNR Rootbeer replica revives the “Root Beer” color scheme that first appeared on vintage GMT-Master watches in the 1970s. The brown-and-black ceramic bezel insert paired with a two-tone 18k Everose gold and Oystersteel case and a black dial makes this one of the warmer, more luxurious entries in the GMT-Master II catalog. At 40mm it shares the same case dimensions as every modern GMT-Master, but the mixed-metal construction gives it a completely different visual weight.

The Root Beer designation comes from the warm brown half of the bezel, which shifts between chocolate and amber depending on light angle. The 18k Everose gold mid-links and crown match the bezel palette, creating a tonal harmony that full-steel references cannot achieve.

What Collectors Notice

Two-tone watches demand precise finishing because any mismatch between gold and steel surfaces becomes immediately visible. On this GMT-Master the polished center links contrast with brushed outer links, and the steel crown guards frame the 18k Everose gold winding crown symmetrically. The brown-black ceramic avoids the high-contrast look of a Pepsi or Batman, making the overall impression warmer and less sporty. For a side-by-side comparison within the two-tone family, the 126713GRNR Bumblebee on Jubilee offers a grey-and-black bezel on yellow gold instead. Both belong to the GMT-Master lineup but target different aesthetics within the two-tone segment.

This vs Other Versions

The 126711CHNR sits between the full-steel sport references and the all-gold dress pieces. It carries enough 18k Everose gold to read as luxurious in any setting, yet the steel components keep the overall weight and visual impact from tipping into overt opulence. Root Beer references have always attracted buyers who want a GMT-Master without the monochrome restraint of the standard steel models. Paired with a navy blazer or a weekend polo, the two-tone construction adapts without losing its tool-watch DNA. This replica GMT-Master 126711CHNR puts that warm character within reach for anyone exploring beyond the single-metal options.

How much is the Rolex Root Beer super clone?

The 126711CHNR Root Beer super clone is $949 and the A-grade version is $349. Both share the two-tone steel and 18k Everose gold case, black dial, brown-and-black bezel and Oyster bracelet; the super clone runs the clone Cal. 3285.

Root Beer super clone vs A-grade: what is the difference?

On the wrist they look the same; the gap is under the caseback. The super clone carries the clone Cal. 3285 with 70 hours of reserve and finishing that follows the genuine two-tone 126711CHNR more closely, while the A-grade runs a Japanese automatic movement and costs $600 less. Take the super clone if detail matters, the A-grade if you mainly want the Everose gold and brown-bezel look.
