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

Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?

enjoythemusic · 28 February 2018, 09:56 AM

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

aquatimerfla · 28 February 2018, 09:58 AM

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.

watchwatcher · 28 February 2018, 10:38 AM

Well there you go. It must be true, then.

Speed · 28 February 2018, 10:41 AM

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

ian6988 · 28 February 2018, 11:18 AM

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

brandrea · 28 February 2018, 11:28 AM

What are your other watches

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.

tomchicago · 28 February 2018, 12:20 PM

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

TheVTCGuy · 28 February 2018, 12:23 PM

I heard the same thing, except that it was a Doctor Pepper GMT.....
