I just unboxed mine. It's polarizing in the sense that it is beautiful and I wonder if I deserve such beauty. I am almost embarrassed to wear a watch that turns heads the way this does. My Batman on the jubilee will get the same wear time.
I wanted the Batman on Jubilée, tried on the root beer, ordered the root beer. I still love the Batman and wonder if I should have gone that route, but I’m sure I will be happy with my choice, once I get that root beer!!! In many ways I find it more discreet and I also like that I see it far less often. How do you feel between the two?
@@Bisley1 I have a green OP41, MK1 starbucks sub, and Sprite on a jubilee. The two tone rootbeer is my next watch before I ask for a daytona! Im not super flashy but I feel like the rootbeer is the classy guys 'f you" watch. Can't wait to be tanned in the summertime wearing it!
I’ve owned a batgirl, Batman and Pepsi. And hands down my favorite watch is my 2 tone rootbeer. Wouldn’t trade it for any other Rolex model. Totally I’m love.
Come on…. Polarizing? You should delete this video. Is like wanting to have the body of a Rolls-Royce Park Ward 1999 instead of a Phantom 2022, two very different comparisons despite that both are Rolls-Royce.
I agree entirely. Never been a great fan of the jubilee. On a tangent, I assume from your pic that we're in the same line of work. Clear skies, old chap. ;)
Classy watch, I love the 70 hour power reserve and GMT complication with the rose gold two tone its excellent. As for it being a scratch magnet it’s easy to rectify I just put a piece of metal duct tape over the clasp to preserve its lustrous shine. The bracelet isn’t that susceptible to wear.
Maybe the best gmt out there. Rolex is not about being dressy or what you want to call it. Imo it is always supposed to be a bit flashy. So the rootbeer is perfecrly fitting the scheme.
Aesthetically speaking the GMT master II looks much better than the vintage one IMO. It's more clean and versatile. I absolutely think this is an underrated watch and quiet possibly the best looking two tone watch from Rolex.
So nice in person. Buy a watch because you love it and you enjoy wearing it. Like wine no one should tell you what taste better because of price or year. If you enjoy it then its a good choice
I have the 16753 circa 1985 with the tiger eye bezel and nipple markers. A bona fide ‘Clint Eastwood’ model. Love the watch. It’s not for everyone. But it works for me. Keeps going up in value too, which is nice. I’m on the wait list for the new one. I may never get one! Hard to say which one you like better when you can’t buy the new one!
It is a beautiful watch and I generally prefer the Oyster bracelet on my Rolex sport watches but it sounds like this might be one situation where the experienced historians might be on to something. Maybe it would have paid more homage if it were on a Jubilee bracelet but I still prefer the Oyster.
It looks so much better in the flesh ... It's honestly an amazing color choice and embodies everything you would like to have . HANDS DOWN the next hottest watch !
100% looks so much better in person. I am surprised that these are NOT as popular as they should be. But then I never cared for it, until I saw it in person and then it was the only watch I ever wanted.
Very good Video.. much appreciated - Love the latest two tone version. The look is both different and familiar, yet still classic? This will eventually become an iconic model (in current era), although production numbers will keep the value down. If they had opted for Limited Edition market.. the collectabilty/increasing value.. as awareness of this masterpiece of a watch increases, would be off the chart. IMO Thanks again
@@RC60669 I don't think that Rolex ever reveal production numbers, nor create "numbered" LE watches. The general market is probably determined more by supply in the grey market, and there are quite a few I believe at the moment still holding a significant premium above retail. The most important factor is whether Rolex discontinue the model in the foreseeable future (hulk!) I am waiting for the Milgauss to become extinct, but then I would have a hard time selling the Milgauss at any price. My CHNR lives in the safe and comes out only on special occasions, it is truly magnificent.
I think you got the reference wrong. The 126715chnr is the solid everose gold version and not as you describe it in minute 5 of this video. Thanks for the confusion.
April cant come quick enough! 😭 Put myself on the list last April when i ordered one with my AD. Apparently the wait is part of the experience, but im so impatient, my head is falling off.
The black face and oyster bracelet makes this a much more versatile piece. If the reference survives, we'll see the Jubilee and maybe the brown face but either or both will make this a very different watch on the wrist. A Rolesor Jubilee is inherently less sporty if you ask me....Still, it'll be a cool watch. The new Pep and Bat are cool but the GMT is an active man's watch. Oyster is the right choice.
And there lies the problem. When I got my GMT II, I could order it with any bracelet and bezel I wanted. They even gave me the leather band it came with before they swapped out the Jubilee. Nowadays, Rolex doesn't care nearly as much about the customer.
Got mine last year - it’s pretty much the daily driver and it’s put away wet quite often - love it came out at the time I migrated to a Rolex - class without too much flash
Best gmt. And the solid gold version is too much gold. Makes it bland. I have a batman and might trade up. This is amszing. In person its even better. But jubilee band would be amazing. Better.
I absolutely love this Rolex watch...but for those of you out there that can't yet afford this watch and you want a Root Beer NOW, then the Tudor Black Bay GMT S&G Root Beer is absolutely stunning and a great alternative. Both companies are owned by the same parent. Side by side, they are both impressive - although the case is thicker on the Tudor. And its in the $5K range...basically 25% of the price of the Rolex. Just food for thought.
Why does every GMT video have to end up being about the Rolex Pepsi? I am tired of hearing about the Pepsi, and tired of hearing about the PAN AM history. My dad was an airline captain, and he didn't need a $20,000 watch to tell him what time it was in different cities.
I like the root beer more than any other GMT, but I much prefer the brown dial of old. I like the black and brown bezel and this still looks great, but that brown dial...theres just something about it for me lol
I think this watch is absolutely stunning and actually unique not just another remix of a watch color design on 50 years ago. I know watch enthusiasts like to nickname GMT Master after sodas but if I had a name this after a drink I would call it the Guinness
Rolex did not asked consumers to call this watch a Rootbeer. Why do yo not tell us why Rolex chose red and blue for a bezel? You can't beat an original!
Rot bear gmt is famous because of Clint Eastwood and it will jump with price in next 2years…but I love the most stainles steel with green gmt hand and black bezel and dial..
Hole new world with brown dial!!! Will be like the HULK but brown GMT that will be great but With the black dial it doesn’t show the real beauty of this great time piece and worst of all is the price!!!
watch this video, click on the link then get ripped off with the inflated prices, no wonder no one can get them, all the dodgy ad's pass them onto their friends so they can make thousands out of desperate people, no thanks
I think you got rid of the one you've been wearing in your mind mate. 250 pieces worldwide? And you sold for that reason? Must be a good market if you had no trouble selling, eh? I could sell mine at a 25% premium but I won't because it is an awesome watch to own and wear.
@@tonygray7545 you’re correct and Tim g is wrong . The way I see it is ‘only 250 available?’ That’s nothing , and tt rootbeer are known for being scarce second hand. And ADs only sell them to preferred clients .
Precisely, a "B&T" (GuinneBass? anyone? lol) . The CHNR deserves its own moniker, this will discourage the Rootbeer purists from unnecessary comparisons. This GMT is a stand-alone and future classic.

It's is one of the most beautiful twin tone Rolex has ever made!
Bluesy/rootbeer both are crazy
I wholeheartedly agree!
The CHNR is truly an impressive watch. Pictures and videos do not do it justice. This is truly the best GMT.
totally agree.
Great!
You like that? Yips!

All Gmts are the best gmts, dic.
I’d wear it till the bezel fell off, then I’d wear it some more.
I own this. It’s a classic. And when it’s discontinued and in 20 years, people will wonder why it wasn’t given the attention it deserved

@@PALWE it's an absolute banger watch!
Don't wear it down the hookers.
What do you mean? The rootbeer is very popular, if you go to the ADs it's one of the most requested GMTs up there with the Pepsi and the Batman.
I love the rootbeer, but I'm just a gmt fanboy in general. I think the pepsi is the only one I don't care for.
This is a stunning piece, stands out above the Pepsi & Batgirl imo 😍
I agree it stands out from the other iterations. But that is because it is god awful and not a man's watch

just saw this watch in person one of the most gorgerous watches I've ever seen. the two toned is spectacular
