When it comes to his kettles, he likes going for pieces just as hardy, reliable, and instantly recognisable – usually from perfect replica Rolex. A quick Google Image search on the Boss will bring up pics of him rocking a stainless steel Submariner with a black dial. But during a recent outing in New Jersey where he visited Jeremy Allen White on the set of his biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, Springsteen was spotted wearing a 2021 best fake Rolex GMT-Master II, aka the Batman Rolex.
The Swiss fake Rolex GMT-Master II remain one of the Swiss watch brand’s most talked about models, with its roots in the early days of air travel. 1950s Pan American Airlines pilots and staff used the OG Rolex GMT’s rotating bezel and 24-hour hand that could display two timezones for the first time. And in 1983, high quality copy Rolex revamped it with a mega three timezone feature in the GMT-Master II. Basically, much like Bruce’s everyday uniform, it’s capable of handling a lot. It also happens to be one those coincidentally boujie and sought-after Rolexes that watch guys can’t get enough of.
For Paul Altieri, founder and CEO of Bob’s Watches, it’s the perfect watch for the rockstar. “Bruce Springsteen wearing a luxury replica Rolex GMT Batman is the ultimate blend of rugged Americana and timeless elegance — a watch that’s built to travel the world, but feels right at home strumming a guitar on the Jersey Shore. It’s a timepiece for the man who knows where he’s been and where he’s going.”
The GMT II Batman was first released in 2013, contributing to cheap super clone Rolex watches’ roster of bi-coloured bezel bangers. It was the first GMT-Master II to feature a two-tone ceramic dial, which wound up being super appealing to collectors. And, much like its bi-coloured dial cousin, the Rootbeer GMT II, it’s extremely hard to get and has super long waiting lists. Springsteen joins Ben Affleck (who played Batman in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Tom Holland, and Roger Federer, who’ve all shown love for the Batman GMT II.
“The online copy watches that embodies a perfect balance of style and practicality, like Springsteen himself,” says Eugene Tutunikov, CEO of SwissWatchExpo. “The Batman is iconic because of its versatility; the sleek black and blue bezel works for both casual and formal settings, making it a timeless piece for any collector or enthusiast.”
The Batman GMT II might not be up there with some of 1:1 wholesale replica Rolex watches’ most famous models, like the Pepsi GMT or Paul Newman Daytona, but it’s rooted in durable, everyday function – which as far as luxury Swiss timepieces go, feels very Bruce Springsteen.
