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.

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 ) http://www.fratellowatches.com/faste...aster-history/ |
