Incoming Root Beer for the Weekend.....

After two years of me growing an appreciation for the Brown/Bronze/Sand GMT Master II fondly referred to as the Root Beer GMT, I finally pulled the trigger and took delivery today of this one owner, A serial on original jubilee bracelet.
I have to admit that my original intent was to wear this watch on a leather strap but after seeing and wearing this handsome thing as is, it will be worn plenty in it's original state with jubilee.
Max Bankin with International House of Time in Miami sourced the watch and was a pleasure to deal with; he even threw in an additional all brown insert after hearing me say that I think they look better with them.
I am very pleased to add this beauty to my humble collection.

Cheers to all and enjoy your weekend! - George
