New Grail for me!
I decided to get rid of a few watches as I realized that I'm more of a wearer vs collector. So gone is the Polar, DSSD JC, and Black Sky D. Funny, despite having those watches, my 16800 35 year Sub date was on my wrist 70% of the time.

Sorry got off topic, just picked up this Rootbeer GMT today and it wears and feels about the same as my Sub, so I think it will be a great companion watch for a 2 watch (rolex) rotation.

As many have stated pictures do not portray the "pop" of colors and beauty of this watch, the Rose gold is understated and elegant at the same time, and wears great dressy or casual . I plan to keep this one a very long time...

Thanks all Anyone know if this has the anti-reflective coating applied to the full crystal, I recall seeing a chart that indicates if the Cornet on the crystal has full dots in the circle that it does, I can see the Cornet but its hard to distinguish....

So hard to photograph this stunning timepiece well. I got lucky with this shot! Love your handle. I sorely miss my 2017 991.2 C2S!
