That really is a nice looking watch. Does anyone here think Rolex will bring out a new version of this sometime soon?

Summer definitely brings out the best in the sunburst dials. That one looks amazing, by the way.

No way. It wasn't very popular with buyers the first time around!

The more I see these the more I love them Even better than the Pepsi The root ever just goes with more Is there a write-up on the history of these? what years were they made? What are their values? I could see one of these as my first vintage buy

Absolutely stunning pics Something different on trf

some call the root beer GMT the " Clint Eastwood GMT " , as he has worn his daily for decades, even in several movies.
lots of history articles on line about the a Rolex GMT .. I like this one, which neatly reviews the different iterations and includes that amazing shot ( you'll know )
