Basel Predection New

Updated Rootbeer GMT. A Rolex rep looked at a picture of my watches and stated one of my watches will be rereleased at Basel 2018. Except for my 1976 GMT Rootbeer my other watches are fairly modern .Who knows soon enough we will see

Dibs, I'm now first on the list. That means my AD Mayors will get it to me in about 3 years. LOL

I believe it. I have been saying all along that we are getting a root beer gmt. Hopefully on jubilee!

Sorry to all those who want a Coke. Not happening.

I don’t think Rolex would return to that dated color combo. It was an acquired taste back then IMO...

Don’t get me wrong, I like the Root Beer in the way you’d like a dog so ugly it’s cute...I just don’t think it’s for the masses of asses who now own a Rolex.

Rootbeer GMT on a Jubilee would be great

AD sales reps don’t even know what watches they’re getting at their store, let alone what’s getting realeased at Basel 2018.

I kind of think the new rose gold Yachtmaster is the updated Root Beer GMT.

I have to agree. But that’s exactly why owners love it I’m sure. It’s unique.

That would be nice. I always thought the root beer had a lot of personality and I'd love to see it new and upgraded. I'd definitely have to go for that one.

Tudor Black Bay Bronze. Not saying it's for the masses but it was new in 2017.

I always liked the 16713 version. If they did it just like that one and not with any gimmicks like red text etc I would be a buyer.

It would be an easy do for them except for the ceramic colors which they seem to be struggling with generally.
