Go try on some PM pieces// Incoming

I'm 6'-5" and I've tried on many 40mm watches.
They have always seemed too small, unfortunately.
I try to like them, but they've always looked better in the pictures than on my wrist.

I have always considered rose gold to be a precious metal for women.

I can't explain why, but I recently tried on the RG Rootbeer 126715CHNR. It blew me away. If you have only seen a photograph of this watch, then you don't know what it looks like.

I'm not quite in a position to drop $40k on a watch, so I didn't buy the 126715CHNR.

I recently got the opportunity to pick up the 126711CHNR from my AD, and I dropped what I was doing to go buy it. It's an amazing piece. Visually it is as striking as the full RG, but I think it's more versatile, actually.

I'm pretty sure this is the only two tone Rolex trading significantly over MSRP on the grey market and there is a reason.

Gorgeous. Totally different in sunlight.

Rose gold can be for men too!

Nice pickup! That watch is so beautiful. I actually think the TT looks better visually and design wise than the full RG because the SS parts of the bracelet help the RG parts pop out more instead of just melting together visually especially with the bezel when it’s full RG.

Terrific looking watch!

I had opportunity recently at remote AD to buy one, but I’m keeping my powder dry for Hulk and Daytona white dial 500C.

Looks great on you!

Only other TTS that I like are:
1. Maserati Blue Daytona 116523
2. SkyD YG/SS with Champaign dial

Thanks guys!

Couldn't be happier.

I was actually considering buying a Panerai because Rolex doesn't have much that goes well with brown boots. I was thinking I would put this on a tan leather Everest strap, but it looks so good on the bracelet that I might just leave it as-is.

Handsome watch. No need to justify it because it’s a TT. Do wear in good health
