It just takes way too long to get a call from an AD. I’m too impatient so I pulled the trigger on this beautiful 126711CHNR Rootbeer...

Despite having great relationship with ADs, they’ve just got too many customers and not enough product to feed my addiction.

Wristshots (in the car?) no! How about in front of the computer? 😜

Also want to give a huge shout out to @Recaro18.

I was following his listing here in the classified section, and its pretty clear these TT Rootbeer watches are getting pretty soft in the market, frankly like most everything now (thank goodness). Well, long story short, I reached out to Ricky via a PM, and he responded immediately, it was the weekend so I was really surprised how responsive he was! We talked at length about this Rootbeer, its providence, and Ricky's business.

Such a cool TD!

We got to a great price, made us both happy, and I wired him funds Monday morning. He went above and beyond, sending pics via text, even sending photos of the boxing no less!

It's not like I buy a lot from ADs, frankly, you can see my post about scoring big at Gandelman's in Aruba. But I have to tell you, dealing with a TD like Ricky, and feeling the white glove service, was really fantastic!

So here's the listing link, https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=952214 and some pics on my wrist as soon as I unboxed it.

I'm sure you'll see me posting wrist shots in the near future. Yes, probably from my car.

The Rootbeer is a thing of beauty and pictures just do not do it justice! It's so much more stunning in real life, and on the wrist!!!

Happy hunting! Buying from a TD can be a really good experience!

Very nice and congrats. The Root Beer is actually the next one I'm trying for, such a wonderful watch.

Harry-57 · 31 July 2024, 04:55 AM

Good score. Congratulations.

Nads786 · 31 July 2024, 04:56 AM

Huge congrats great watch. I agree with the buying experience with grey dealers, I think it's quite a bit better than the AD.

BillA · 31 July 2024, 04:58 AM

Nice piece, good luck

CarlOver · 31 July 2024, 06:13 AM

Great watch. Very difficult to accurately show the colors when photographing. In person, it’s excellent! Enjoy!

Marcjvr · 31 July 2024, 06:31 AM

Great watch that’s one of the best GMTs

KatGirl · 31 July 2024, 06:51 AM

Congrats! It’s a stunner. Wear it in good health.

It’s really hard to photograph watches I’ve come to experience. They turn out terrible and the details suck. The first two I posted are from Ricky. He must know how to nail it since the pics are so much nicer than my wrist shots!

But for sure, this watch is way better in real life. I got hooked when I saw it in person. Wasn’t even on my radar.

DarthNorse · 31 July 2024, 01:07 PM

Congrats, beautiful watch! I’ve now bought three watches from trusted dealers here myself and the experience is night and day compared to my local AD. Quick communication, excellent service and in general just a fantastic experience. Sure, in some cases you pay a little bit more but one of them I got for under retail.

Bazil · 31 July 2024, 04:41 PM
