Not trying to change the opinions of the haters, and there usually are a few, took this photo while reading the paper today, the colour the watch gives in natural light is amazing, the watch is far more dressy than a pepsi or coke. The root beer is a GMT but the experience differs with the TT effect.

Anyway, for those that like these please enjoy the shot. Currently set on the same time, but tomorrow when I fly to the USA via Japan the hour hand will do a fair bit of independent movement from local time zone in Sydney!

I'm certain it is a lovely watch for many. But for me, the colors are... blech. I don't hate it, I just can't stand the colors

Enjoy it.

fania123 · 16 August 2015, 09:10 PM

Now that's a beautiful watch!

dysondiver · 16 August 2015, 09:18 PM

thats a picture that captures the beauty of the root beer.

joe100 · 16 August 2015, 09:33 PM

Not an RB but still TT. Hard to beat the rootbeer though. I've often wondered what the TB bezel would look like on my LN

cop414 · 16 August 2015, 09:49 PM

I love the TT Rootbeer GMT's, yours looks amazing!

roadie1 · 16 August 2015, 10:28 PM

That's a beautiful root beer! I wish they still made it. Can u imagine how cool it'd be with a ceramic bezel:)

Beautiful. Are those service hands?

Craig, have you ever considered putting that beauty on a TT jubilee bracelet? I bet it'd look HOT!

If someone doesn't like the looks of a watch (or disagrees is general with something or someone) people aren't 'hating', they simply have a different opinion. Different strokes for different folks.

Besides that, beautiful watch!

Root beer is an unique piece and I love the two tone color especially with the nipple dial!

sutats · 17 August 2015, 12:33 AM

It's a lovely watch. I love the nostalgia of it and that it reminds me of that bygone era of pine panelling.

MCO1 · 17 August 2015, 12:35 AM

Excellent!

Lpugliese · 17 August 2015, 12:48 AM

nice

DCgator · 17 August 2015, 01:32 AM

Always nice to see a root beer in that shape.

Have two guys at work, both Vietnam era vets. They sit in cubes almost next to each other. One wears a GMT Master Pepsi and the other wears a Root Beer version. Both watches look like they were bought in the 60s or 70s when the PX (AAFES) used to sell Rolex. Saw really faded bezel inserts, stretched-to-hell bracelets, and both guys in their late 60s. It's always a treat seeing their watches.

VinnieVegas · 17 August 2015, 02:28 AM

It's personal taste of course. Though my 16710 is probably my favorite, I had long coveted the root beer and had money set aside when the right one came along.

I can see why it is not to everyone's taste. I think the color scheme either speaks to you or it doesn't. To me, it does. I was very pleased when I finally got my 16713.

To the OP, great watch! It has pizzazz! I expect to wear mine more in the Fall.

Root Beer Rocks

anothernewphone · 17 August 2015, 06:14 AM

I think the Rootbeer thrives on the Oyster bracelet. I don't like it on the Jubilee, as it might just be a little too much in my eyes.
