Incoming - 126711 Root Beer
Cannot thank my AD enough for coming through just before the new year !

Had a somewhat rollercoaster year but end with a high!

About 6 months after initial registration of interest, finally picked it up, also received a perfume as a gift






And of course tried on some other references:

Thank you! Yeah, I am very grateful dealing with an honest AD, you know, if they want, they could wait until the new year and charge the new price,but they didn’t.

Totally agree the other is bluesy, but the yellow gold draws too much attention

Amazing pickup! This may be a noob question but does that warm tone not work on certain skin tones?

My guess is Mediterranean skin tones would clash with the watch?

My honest advice is try it out in person! I never thought the warm tone would suit me but it does ! Once you put it on, you will know.

Not expert on perfume but it is certainly long lasting. It is a light scent and floral?

The bluesy was on display but I think it was sold afterwards.
