Incoming: GMT Master II Rootbeer

New member and first post but had to celebrate picking up my new watch today.

Got the call from the AD earlier this week after a 3 month wait. Very happy!

Pure sexy chocolate. This watch works on so many levels. For a all new 2018 release, the CHNR is gaining attention fast. Look out... I said something similar with the Hulk 1.5 years back.

Wow! Lucky you! Congratulations on your great looking GMTIIc Root Beer! Rolex makes such a beautiful Everose gold that melds perfectly with SS. The brown/black bezel is sweet. Enjoy and wear it in good health. Cheers!

Congrats!

They’ve hit it out of the park with the RG/SS combination. Gorgeous watch. Congrats! Welcome to TRF!

I got two more compliments on mine today out shopping. I think my CHNR has gotten more complements in one week than any of my SS Rolex models. I believe the rose gold pops more than any other metal and people find it interesting. Sales/kids at BestBuy made similar comments as other College age kids last week.

And celebrate you should! That is an outstanding watch. Possibly my favorite Rolex GMT. I love the two tone combination on this one!
Congratulations!

Cheers,
