Rolex GMT-Master II Replica

The replica watches industry has never been more diverse or more dynamic. Among the myriad of options available to enthusiasts today, custom builds have emerged as a powerful expression of personal taste, blending affordability, aesthetics, and mechanical precision. In this article, we take a deep dive into one such masterpiece: a custom Rolex GMT-Master II Sprite replica built on the robust foundation of a C+ Factory model — complete with a meteorite dial and upgraded components. If you’re a fan of modified high-end replica watches or curious about how to create your own standout timepiece, this detailed review will guide you through every aspect of this one-of-a-kind build.

Why Choose C+ Factory for Custom Rolex GMT Projects?

C+ Factory, also known as CPlus, has rapidly become a respected name in the world of replica Rolex GMTs. While not as widely known as Clean or VS Factory, C+ offers excellent quality at a more accessible price point — making it an ideal candidate for customization.

One of the main reasons for choosing a C+ Factory base is cost-efficiency. Clean Factory’s Rolex GMT-Master II Sprite, while exceptional in finish and detail, can be prohibitively expensive, especially when planning a non-standard mod that deviates from Rolex’s official catalog. C+ Factory offers nearly the same aesthetic fidelity and structural reliability, making it the perfect canvas for bespoke designs.

In addition, the modular design of C+ models allows for smoother integration of third-party parts such as sapphire crystals, ceramic bezels, and dials. For hobbyists and professionals alike, this flexibility is a major advantage.

Mod #1: Installing the Black and Green Ceramic Sprite Bezel

The first modification in this project involves replacing the standard bezel insert with a black and green ceramic one — known popularly as the “Sprite” bezel. This bezel color combination was introduced by Rolex in the left-crown GMT-Master II, and it has since become a fan favorite due to its unconventional and refreshing aesthetic.

The replacement bezel used in this mod is identical in hue and ceramic quality to the one found in Clean Factory’s GMT Sprite models. This ensures a sharp, high-contrast color transition between the black (PM hours) and green (AM hours), with deeply engraved numerals filled with platinum-colored paint — replicating the luxurious look of the original Rolex bezel.

The installation is seamless thanks to C+ Factory’s precise machining and bezel construction, which allows compatibility with aftermarket ceramic inserts without requiring structural modifications.

Mod #2: Upgrading to a Deep Crystal Sapphire

The second enhancement is subtle yet profoundly impactful: replacing the stock sapphire crystal from C+ Factory with a Deep Crystal sapphire. This upgrade dramatically increases transparency, light refraction, and AR coating quality.

Most entry- to mid-level replica watch crystals suffer from slight haze or lower anti-reflective performance. Deep Crystal, a niche yet reputable parts manufacturer, has produced sapphire crystals with enhanced clarity and edge sharpness, similar to Rolex’s own Chromalight blue hue under light reflection. The result is a cleaner, brighter dial presentation and a more premium look from all viewing angles.

Collectors who value detail will appreciate how this one change elevates the overall appearance of the watch, particularly under strong lighting or photography conditions.

Mod #3: Replacing the Dial with a Premium Meteorite Design

Perhaps the most visually distinctive upgrade in this project is the installation of a custom meteorite dial. Meteorite dials, cut from genuine iron-nickel meteorites and chemically etched to reveal natural Widmanstätten patterns, have long been considered one of the most exotic and luxurious features in Rolex’s line-up.

However, not all meteorite dials in the replica market are created equal. Many are mass-produced with flat, uniform textures or printed patterns that lack the visual depth and reflective variance of true meteorite slices. For this build, a high-grade meteorite dial was sourced from a specialized workshop known for crafting dials with high nickel content, prominent etching, and randomized texture — closely mimicking Rolex’s authentic meteorite GMT-Master dials.

The result is stunning: a silvery-white dial surface with naturally fractured geometric patterns that shimmer differently depending on the lighting angle. It not only looks closer to the real deal but also gives the watch a unique identity unmatched by stock models.

What Makes This Build Unique

It’s worth emphasizing that this particular configuration — a Sprite GMT-Master II with a meteorite dial — does not exist in the Rolex catalog. That’s precisely what makes it so compelling. It’s a “fantasy piece” brought to life, a combination of design elements that are technically possible but not commercially available. For many replica watch collectors, this blend of rarity and creativity is the holy grail of modding.

Furthermore, every component — bezel, crystal, dial — has been carefully selected not just for aesthetics but for technical compatibility and overall cohesion. The black and green bezel brings sportiness, the meteorite dial adds elegance, and the Deep Crystal sapphire ensures that every detail is visible in perfect clarity.

Performance and Wearability

Underneath the dial, the watch retains its original C+ Factory automatic movement, a reliable Asia clone of Rolex’s 3186/3285 caliber. Timekeeping remains consistent, with smooth GMT hand functionality and a quickset date. The case is a solid 904L stainless steel with polished and brushed finishing that closely mimics genuine Rolex proportions.

On the wrist, the watch wears with the same dimensions as the authentic GMT-Master II: 40mm diameter, approximately 12.5mm thickness, and a 48mm lug-to-lug length. Thanks to the use of high-quality crystal and dial materials, the watch has a balanced weight and feel that mirrors its luxury counterpart.

How to Source Quality Parts for Your Own Custom Replica Build

If you’re inspired to build your own modified Rolex replica, here are some key recommendations:

• Bezel Inserts: Look for ceramic bezels from Clean Factory or third-party mod shops that specialize in aftermarket GMT parts.
• Sapphire Crystals: Deep Crystal or Xtal brands offer premium AR-coated crystals with high clarity.
• Meteorite Dials: Avoid mass-market suppliers; instead, seek out dial specialists who can offer photos of actual meteorite textures before purchase.
• Trusted Dealers: Work only with verified sellers in forums or networks like RepTime, RWI, or Telegram groups. Or check out curated selections at SuperRolex.io.

Final Thoughts: A Statement Piece with Personal Flair

This custom C+ Factory GMT-Master II Sprite with a meteorite dial represents the best of what the replica scene can offer — a combination of affordability, craftsmanship, and artistic individuality. Whether you’re new to the hobby or a seasoned collector, custom mods like this open a world of creative expression beyond the constraints of catalog accuracy.

And most importantly, this project proves that with the right base watch and carefully selected parts, you can build something truly one-of-a-kind — a timepiece that not only mimics Rolex’s best but goes beyond it.

The Rolex Day-Date is a great series for displaying both the day and date simultaneously. However, I personally prefer the Datejust because I’m not a fan of the top window that shows the day of the week on the Day-Date model. That said, there’s no denying that the day feature can be quite useful for businessmen. Today, I’m introducing a full yellow gold Rolex Day-Date replica watch made by the CR factory—CR stands for Chang Rong in Chinese Pinyin. This factory is renowned for producing high-quality gold Rolex replica watches and offers a lot of customization options for watch enthusiasts looking for a unique Rolex.

For your custom-made replica Rolex, the CR factory can use real yellow or rose gold for the case and bracelet, and even offer the option of a genuine Swiss ETA movement. So, if you’re looking for a special replica Rolex, we can work directly with the factory to create one specifically tailored to your preferences.As for the replica watch itself, the yellow gold is beautifully applied with a gold layer up to 5 mils thick. Both the case and bracelet are meticulously polished, providing a premium visual experience. The entire watch is made from solid 904L stainless steel with a thick yellow gold coating, and when you hold it, you can truly feel its high-quality texture—just like a brand-new Rolex bought from an official boutique.

The dial of this replica watch is also in a golden tone, featuring fine black lettering. The Roman hour markers are precisely cut with multiple facets, giving them a strong three-dimensional effect. The Oyster bracelet showcases an elegant design, with the middle links polished and the side links brushed. When you open the deployant clasp, you’ll be impressed by the delicate engravings, which are nearly identical to those found on a genuine Rolex, making the replica feel incredibly authentic.

The Day-Date gold replica uses a clone 3255 automatic movement, with the factory claiming that they use real movement plates imported from abroad. The time and date adjustment function works just like the original. Additionally, the watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters.

At the beginning of 2018, AR Factory released several Rolex Daytona replicas, crafted from 904L stainless steel and featuring the innovative Rolex 4130 automatic movement. These Daytona replicas stand out with their exceptional quality, but there’s one notable downside: they aren’t fully functional chronograph watches. Unlike other Daytona replica watches I’ve shared before, which have fully operational chronograph functions, this particular AR Factory Daytona has non-functional subdials at 3:00 and 9:00.However, the chronograph buttons are pressable, meaning the central chronograph second-hand starts working when you press the button at 2:00. Despite this limitation, it’s worth noting that this is one of the closest replicas in terms of appearance to the original.

If you prioritize the aesthetics of a replica watches over complete functionality, this Daytona is the best choice for you. Sometimes, sacrifices are made to perfect other features, and in this case, the factory focused on flawlessly replicating the movement. The movement plates and rotor are meticulously decorated, making it almost indistinguishable from the genuine 4130 when the case back is opened.

The case of this replica Rolex Daytona measures 40mm in diameter, featuring a brushed finish with polished lugs. The black ceramic bezel is adorned with white tachymeter scales. The silver-grey dial of the replica Rolex displays three black subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, with the small seconds hand running smoothly on the subdial at 6 o’clock. The hour markers and hands are filled with white luminous material, emitting a strong blue glow in the dark.

I personally love this silver-grey Daytona, as the color coordination is impeccable. The black ceramic bezel, black subdials, and black rubber strap create a perfect harmony with the silver-grey dial, which pairs beautifully with the 904L stainless steel case.
