I can't believe how much I like that. It's certainly changed my mind on the next Rolex I would like to have. Which one? The TT or the RG model? I kind of like the RG one, but even the TT is starting to grow on me. RG really pulls me in, but sadly it's out of my reach, unless I win the lotto! But the TT is more achievable and very desirable. I must say, I didn't even know they made the GMT-Master in root beer, so it's shot right to the top of my wanted list. I'm also struggling at the moment with the size of my Black Bay on my wrist. I'm finding it looking so small, so I was looking at the Rolex DeepSea. But now I'm wanting the TT GMT-Master root beer, but I'm back to the size problem again! I really do like the look of it.

rigsby - I imagine it will be similar in size to the BB, but I find that my BLNR feels like it wears bigger than my other 40mm watches. These won't be available until the fall and even then will probably have long wait lists, so I'll be unlikely to see one for several years.

I thought they looked good IRL, it will probably be a while until I see one again.
You never know though, TT models are usually readily available. Will this be the exception, and be held back by Rolex? I don’t know.

I bet this piece will be readily available shortly after release.

Man this thread is killing me. Well, great to see you back, and alive and well! I think that when seen in real life, this model will be irresistible.

I'm not sure it's a good idea for me to go and see one, when it's available. It has some serious pulling power on me. I can't believe how much I like it.

I got so used to seeing the patina root beer bezels that this was a nice change. I like the two tone best, and agree that it would be cool on the oyster flex too

I love the TT GMT - but because it dosen't fit my lifestyle I would just sit and stare at it like a piece of art instead of wearing it. I know I would love the idea of having one more than actually owning/wearing one. But still it sure is stunning to look at.
