I tend to like things that are less ubiquitous and whilst many Rolex guys would never consider a brown color way, the Root Beer in RG was the obvious choice. Even if money were no object, the 126715 is for me, THE GMT to have.

Lastly, my favorite complication is the GMT, especially a true jumping hour with a 70 hour PR- can't beat that! I considered a Daytona, but I travel so the GMT function serves a purpose, whereas I would never realistically use the chrono function to time anything in my everyday life, nor do I dive, so I didn't consider a PM SUB. The idea of having chrono pushers merely as adornments for that sum of money just doesn't appeal to me.

The only reservation I have about going FG/ PM is that I know that I can't where it anytime, anywhere like I did with the Rolesor. I miss that! That said, it wouldn't make sense for you to have both the 126711 & 126715 (although I know of another member who does and loves them both). I think you made the right choice, bases covered!

Thanks for such a well thought out reply. I definitely concur that the PM version is the natural successor if you can pull it off. I started a thread about upgrading from TT and the reactions were mixed. Some preferred the aesthetics of TT but others were in the mindset of go big or go home. A couple mentioned the dial gets lost in the full everose bracelet but the pictures here look amazing. The only question that remains is if this is your one but you can't practically where it everywhere, what will you next be?

This is my grail, but I've learned not to call things a keeper ; )

Pretty sure Sky-D is a 6 digit sports model also but I get it. Just messing with you.

Congrats on a super awesome head turning score. Its beautiful. I can only imagine.

The wrong one. 1.5 is too small and it looks like the screw heads got butcher shopped. It’s a 1.6 hollow ground or 1.7 2100 tool all day for gold oyster screws anything else forget about it they will hour glass. Watch is beautiful tho.

Edit: eepro beat me to it, once you go hollow ground you never go back that’s the ticket right there

It is only through an abundance of caring we share this important message with you guys.

The one pictured is from esslinger and is billed as 1.6 mm. I had to swipe the side with a sanding sponge a few times to get perfect clearance. It was click-tight out of the box.

[RoscoPico]

huge congrats, love that piece myself

[GfromMT]

A real stunner! Congrats!
