Congratulations! I don't think I've seen any GMTs in the wild. I chose the BLNR but they all are excellent watches. Enjoy your Root Beer!

 

surprised you do not see that many GMTS in wild. I saw plenty of GMTs, even more so than subs, in OC area, mainly irvine and disneyland
Once, I went to SC for alumni mentoring program and saw some USC kid with a batman on his wrist!

 

I’ve requested the root beer from my AD, still not available for me yet. Will not pay over retail so I’ll wait for it to come up. Until then I’ll wear my 116710LN..

I am in the same boat... Wearing my 16700 tho.

Congrats on the new watch, OP!

 

My favourite Rolex.....by a mile. Huge congratulations.

 

I just picked up the Pepsi so gets my vote. But root beer is a very close second. Gorgeous and understated for a TT watch

 

I like the root beer best, primarily for the reason that you stated: you don't see them on every street corner. While I don't have a strong preference for the one color combination over another, I do like that it's a bit more unusual. It's taken me a while to warm up to the root beer, but I'm there now...

Did you get yours new at an AD, or?

Great purchase in any case - enjoy!

 

Grey market. I don’t have the patience to play the AD game, especially the AD’s near me in the NYC area. I would‘ve had to spend $30k-$40k on 31mm DateJusts and overpriced jewelry to get any sports models. When prices came down significantly in the grey market, I decided to go for it. That said, I paid about a 15% premium out the door, over retail. It’s also important to note that my grey market dealer happens to have an office 10 min from my house and he has everything in stock so I was able to go and try on all models in the Rolex line up that interest me.

Same for me as far as warming up to the root beer. I was initially going to get the Pepsi, which I love, but when I tried the root beer on I was blown away with the subtly of the rose gold. That and the root beer was cheaper than the Pepsi, because of demand.

 

Any Rolex without a corny nickname. DSSD, DS43, Milgauss, or YachtMaster.

 

Great choice! Congrats.

 

That is gorgeous.

 

Big congrats! The Root Beer is my favorite GMT, and one of my favorite watches. I'm hoping my AD comes through with one either this year or the next. 🤞

Edit: My AD came through less than a month after I originally posted this. To anyone that's on the list, hang in there and don't despair!

 

Congratulations! The Root Beer is stunning and so refined.

 

I rarely see any in the wild, but the pepsi is the most common IMO. I prefer the batman personally but the rootbeer you've got there is indeed and awesome piece and very uncommon in a good way!

 

My favorite color combo as well. Looks great.

Enjoy.

 

I prefer the batman, however, if I could ever get the all rose gold rootbeer than I would pick the rootbeer. Great choice and congrats.

 

love it! The Rootbeer is stunning! I have the Batman and am waiting for the Rootbeer. I like both equally but voted for the Batman because it seems like it’s more fit for an all around everyday watch

 

Total stunner man, hope to get my hands on one of these someday as well! Was absolutely my favorite GMT until the green and black lefty!
Got the call yesterday for this one, so it must be GMT delivery week to the AD’s! Hahaha

 

Beautiful watch! Wear it in good health. I forgot it came on a jubilee…love it.

 

Thank you for all the positive comments and well wishes ladies and gentleman, and Rodentman.
It looks like the Pepsi is the winner, as suspected. But I’m surprised the root beer got that many number of votes and is pretty close to the Pepsi and Batman. I would have thought it’s a more acquired taste, like the Sprite. In any case, they’re all beautiful watches.

 

Well, would ya look at that. After all this time, the Root Beer is actually leading the Pepsi and Batman! What a tight and interesting poll.

 

Congrats on the new watch!

 

ive never liked gmt's and could never understand the luv for them but one day, out and about, I saw the rootbeer on a mans wrist. mind blown. off the charts stunning. enjoy your watch

 

Congrats & Enjoy!!!!

 

Congrats! I voted for the Batman but after looking at your pics I might re-vote for the root beer. That is a good looking watch

 

great looking watch. matches your car interior very nicely .
who cares what the poll says.
firstly . you love the watch and that's what only matters. congratulations.

 

The TT RB is such a great piece, I love mine. Mot much love for the green/black here, lol.

 

I got the Batman this year while my wife just got the root beer. While I think the root beer is a gorgeous watch I still voted for the BLNR as the best of the GMT's.

 

My vote goes to the Rootbeer

 

I voted for CHNR as well, waiting to get the text for when one arrives. I will not go grey on this one like I did with my 116710LN.
