I thought long and hard at all of the possibilities when it comes to spending this much money on a watch. I had the Rolesor Root Beer and loved it so much that the 126715 is the natural superlative upgrade to that!

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!

Killer watch. Be careful flashing that much bling around, as it could attract some unwanted attention. It is quite amazing to look at!
