I usually wear all my watches on both my left and right wrists. Recently, we received a batch of Rolex replica watches with the crown on the left side, that is, some lefty “guys”. People who are naturally left-handed feel very comfortable with a watch on their right wrist. But how do those who have worn watches on their left wrist all their lives feel? That’s what I set out to find out. I have known for some time that watch lovers tend to wear lefty watches, in the context in which their dominant hand is the right one. And I was curious to find out how comfortable (or not) a watch can be when you wear it on the other side.
I wrote something about a Destro replica watch some time ago. But I felt that the review was not quite complete because I had not worn it for a long time to understand how strongly I resonate with it or not. This time, I took my heart in my teeth and asked my manager to allow me to have a left replica from our AAAReplica stock to wear for at least a week. Thank God, he allowed me.
To be honest…
I think it is not enough to wear a watch only for a few hours to give it a complete review. It takes at least a few days. Especially when it comes to a right-handed watch. With a lefty watch on your right wrist, the first few hours will seem very unusual, and the review might not be entirely objective. If you wear it for at least a week, you get to “feel” it to the maximum, and respectively, to understand how well you resonate or not with it.
As a result, I caught up with the GMT-Master 126720VTNR replica watch, forgetting about any other watch for 1-2 weeks. What followed next, you will find out immediately.
Phenomenal green and black color scheme
I can’t start with anything other than the color scheme of this replica watch, which is different from what we know so far about Rolex GMTs. Previous replica watches are defined by a very similar, but at the same time different scheme. If you remember, previous GMT Rolex replica models had a black bezel, in addition to a black dial and a green GMT hand. After some time, replica manufacturers began to produce Batman replica watches, with their remarkable black and blue scheme.
A few years passed, and the manufacturers also started to launch the Pepsi replica model, which caused a sensation in the replica industry with its combination of red and blue. And so at the end of 2022, the manufacturers announced the launch of the green version of the GMT replica watch.
It seemed to me initially that it was a dry green that would be lost against the background of the abundance of black. This is because the replica manufacturers had previously messed with the green from the Glassgoutte knockoffs. Instead of replicating the khaki green, they replicated it by adding a lot of “metallic”. In consequence, the replica watches did not look bad in themselves, but they were far from the green of the original models.
Anyway…
I was wrong about the green of the lefty Rolex replica watch. The shade of green is as close as possible to the original model. And when I refer to the green color on the bezel, I also refer to how the manufacturers applied the indicators on the green portion. Also, I’m curious about how correctly the manufacturers chose the color of the GMT hand. The good news is that the colors match perfectly, which makes me praise the execution of this replica watch.
Quick facts
This imitation coincides with the standards we know from other models. I mean, we are dealing with a 40mm replica watch. The grade of stainless steel is 904l, which promises amazing quality and resistance. The manufacturers let us know that they will soon produce 316l steel options, in order to offer a more cost-friendly alternative to watch lovers.
The knockoff is available in 2 bracelet options: the Jubilee and Oyster. Personally, I opted for the Oyster option, which fits better in the context of an everyday watch. On the other hand, you can buy the Jubilee bracelet separately, to transform the versatile watch into a formal one in just a few moments. Both types of replica bracelets expand and contract according to the wider or narrower diameter of the wrist. Respectively, it is unlikely that the bracelet will not fit you.
Further on…
The imitation benefits from a Swiss clone 3285 mechanism. The manufacturers have tried to strictly reproduce the architecture of this mechanism so that the lefty replica watch works exactly like the authentic model. As you can see, this knockoff is more or less identical to previous GMTs. The only difference is that he is right-handed. Respectively, the only thing left for me is to wear this knockoff to understand what are its benefits and disadvantages.
A week with the Rolex destro replica watch on my wrist
The beautiful part of things is that the “test” period of the watch coincided with my little vacation in New Jersey city. I actually live in the neighboring city and the distance is not very big, but anyway, there is an hour’s difference between them. Without realizing it, I put my watch on my left wrist, as I usually do.
And only a few hours later, my wife drew my attention to the fact that I might be wearing it wrongly. At that moment, I realized that I indeed had put my watch on the wrong wrist, immediately changing it to my right wrist. My wife did not refrain from commenting on my mistake, saying in a slightly sarcastic way: “You are so excited about this watch, that you just forgot what wrist it is to be worn on…”.
Actually…
I got a little angry with her because my goal was to test the watch from all perspectives, including both wrists. And in this context, the terms “right” or “wrong” don’t exactly have their place. Wearing it on my left wrist for a few hours made me understand something about this knockoff. I understood that it created absolutely no discomfort for me, even if it is a lefty watch.
In terms of sensations, no aspect bothered me: neither the position of the crown on the left nor the date on the left side of the dial. Respectively, the first conclusion I can draw is that this replica watch is not exclusively for the right wrist. You can wear it on both wrists without any worries, being sure that it will not generate any feeling as if it is out of place.
However…
I must note that wearing it on my left wrist, I faced a non-critical disadvantage. Taking into account that I was wearing long-sleeved clothes, these slightly covered the left side of the dial. As you know about a right-hander, the date aperture of these watches is found specifically on the left side. Respectively, the sleeve covered my date which was hidden under the sleeve.
When I was looking at the watch, I forgot that it actually shows the date, because the aperture remained covered. Consequently, it seemed to me that I had a watch without a date function. I can’t really call this fact a disadvantage. After all, the no-date variant doesn’t look so bad. On the contrary, the replica watch seemed to have a specific appeal with the hidden date.
Switching to the right wrist
I usually test all replica watches including on the right wrist, even if they are for the left hand. Every time I do it, I feel like something doesn’t fit. I feel like I’m wearing my shoes backward. And I feel exactly the same sensation with watches. When I put them on my right hand, they feel “foreign”, even though I find their design very attractive. In the same context, I feel that the crown on the right causes me discomfort.
What do you think I felt when I put the Rolex lefty replica on my right wrist? Nothing, except that it is where it should be. I did not expect to feel the watch so “in place”. I couldn’t figure out how this was even possible.
How practical is the GMT destro replica watch?
I quickly understood that at the level of sensations, this replica watch will not give me headaches at all. My next concern was about how convenient and practical it is for me to use the lefty watch. I want to remind you that its crown is on the left side of the case. And I always wind the crown with my right hand. Now I was going to do it with the left one. This thought was already making me uncomfortable because I hate doing things with my left hand. All my life, as long as I can remember, I have been doing the most important things with my dominant hand, which is my right hand.
It was time to wind my replica watch. To be honest, I tried to do what I could. Even though the crown of the replica watch rotates very smoothly and flawlessly, I could not rotate it with my left hand. It was as if I slipped the crown between my fingers and couldn’t catch it back. It was obvious that the fingers of the left hand do not have the necessary dexterity to operate with small components such as the crown of a watch.
Further on…
After a few minutes of frustration and nerves, I turned the replica watch upside down. This idea was even suggested to me by my wife, who watched me sigh nervously. I thought I was too proud to listen to her, continuing my failed attempts to turn the crown with my left hand. But, in the end, I let my guard down and understood that, in fact, she is right. Turning the watch upside down allowed me to wind the crown with my right hand, as I usually do. The issue was resolved immediately. I know that the solution seems somewhat stupid. But, it instantly solved my “conflict” with the replica watch.
The general impression of the lefty GMT Rolex replica watch
The entire range of Rolex GMT replica watches is dear to my soul, regardless of color scheme. And this is because their functionality prevails over the color scheme. I find their functions so welcome, especially because my wife’s parents are in Canada. Consequently, GMT replica watches are an optimal solution to keep me informed of the time in Alberta. To please my wife, I set my replica watch to Alberta time as soon as I put it on my wrist.
I felt the replica watch firm and compact on my wrist, regardless of which hand I was wearing it. To be honest, it seems to me that the Oyster bracelet is much more proportional to the watch case than the Jubilee bracelet. The replica watch looks much more practical with the Oyster. I recommend the Jubilee option for when you need a statement watch. As for the finish of the replica bracelet, it has a very decent execution.
During the holiday…
I wore the replica watch on both wrists. Even my wife has adapted to the idea that this watch looks interesting both on the left and on the right. Honestly speaking, the replica watch exceeded my expectations, if we talk about quality and comfort.
Towards the end of the vacation, I thought it would be good to compare this replica watch with its regular counterpart, so I can make an objective review. At the same time, I asked myself if all the replica destro watches feel as comfortable, or if only this Rolex knockoff has something special about it. In this sense, I knew what I was going to do when I returned to the office.
Rolex GMT “regular” replica watch vs Rolex GMT Lefty replica watch
Many watch lovers ask me what is the difference between a lefty GMT and an ordinary GMT knockoff. First of all, you should know that there is no price difference between these 2 models. That is, a lefty replica watch made of 316l steel will cost the same as the regular one. Respectively, one of the 904l lefties will be identical in price to a regular 904l GMT knockoff. I have identified only a few sources that offer slightly different prices in favor of the regular model.
I don’t think it’s worth paying more for the usual knockoff. The functionality of these 2 models is identical, as well as the design, except for the mirror appearance. Therefore, if a dealer offers you a higher price, be patient and keep looking, because you will surely find another dealer who will offer you an identical price.
Technically and at the execution level, both replica options are also identical. Respectively, the only difference is in their mirror design. If the date is on the right in the regular model, in the lefty watch, it is on the left of the dial. Consequently, it depends exclusively on your mood and how willing you are to experiment with either a standard model or a more fun model. After all, the lefty knockoff is really about fun.
Lefty replica watches alternatives
Tudor Pelagos replica watch
A decent alternative to the lefty imitation Rolex GMT is the Pelagos lefty replica watch. The attractive part of this knockoff is that it keeps the date at 3 o’clock, unlike the date at 9 o’clock of the Rolex GMT replica watch. Like the Rolex imitation, the manufacturers exceptionally executed the Pelagos lefty, meeting all the chromatic and stylistic standards of the original model.
Omega Seamaster Ploprof replica watch
Ploprof replica watches are an extremely bold and wild lefty alternative, I would say. These Omega replica watches are more robust and heavier. I tested the Ploprof knockoff on my wrist. The conclusion is that I felt it was much too “present” and somewhere, it even generated a sort of discomfort. Rolex GMT and Pelagos lefty knockoffs are practically imperceptible. They fit much more comfortably and compactly on the wrist. The Ploprof knockoff alternative feels heavier. Comparing these watches, I can’t say that I was exactly excited by the “severity” with which the Ploprof knockoff sits on the wrist.
TAG Heuer Monaco replica watch
The last lefty alternative I want to mention is the spectacular Monaco replica watch. Replica manufacturers produce this model quite rarely. Respectively, it might be quite difficult to find one. But if you find it, consider yourself lucky. These imitations are just as comfortable as GMT and Pelagos lefty knockoffs. In addition, Monaco imitations also bring with them an extraordinarily elegant charisma. Complementary to the fact that their design is a real eye magnet, they are extremely comfortable on the right wrist. If you’re looking for something elegant and heart-breaking, give these Monaco knockoffs a chance.
Bottom line
What would be the arguments in favor of the Rolex GMT lefty replica watch? First of all, it is an attractive trend. Secondly, it is a watch that offers a high degree of comfort, even for someone like me, who is fairly pedant. The advantage of this replica watch is that you can always change it on the left wrist if you don’t fit with it on the right. This would be more difficult possible with a Plofrof model, which you will never feel ok on the left.
Another attractive aspect of this replica watch is its case pattern. Green never tires you, as the red on the bezel could. In addition, it is a vivid and vibrant color that brings a lot of refreshment in any condition.
A final advantage counts in the technical profile of the replica watch. It benefits from a qualitative execution and a promising mechanism.
The week I wore this knockoff on my wrist generated emotions of curiosity, fun, and thirst for exploration. And, you know what? For a long time, no replica watch had caused me such an amalgam of emotions. That speaks volumes about its value.
