The Rootbeer GMT-Master
Seeing as its Pepsi and Coke counterparts appeal more to the majority, would anyone foresee the rootbeer being the most sought after GMT collectible? Or would it be as, of not less desirable in the long run? That is, assuming that Rolex has no intentions of producing ceramic variants

The GMT Rootbeer happens to be MY grail watch, especially if it has a jubilee bracelet!

The nipple dial doesn't float my boat but I'd love a root beer! I think I'd go jubilee too, since it would then be so different from my Sub even the Long Haired General wouldn't mind!

Not a big fan of the jubilee bracelet.
I do like the Rootbeer bezel. But, my grail is in the mail. GMT-Pepsi Bezel. Can't wait for Thursday! |

Can you imagine Rolex producing one in ceramic (except for you curmudgeons!)? I'd sell my left nad for one!

I'm missing the Coke version, but have to say I'm really pleased with the rest of them. The Root Beer is my latest addition and I find it even better in person. Will probably send it off to the RSC for a mini spa treatment. Love the Jubilee but it is super stretched and I'd like a new one

Someone told me the Rootbeer wasn't as versitile as a Pepsi or Coke........I found there are two options for my Rootbeer........I enjoy them both and love the nipples, which don't come with cola
