    I have the Guinness and absolutely love it. It’s a very classy looking professional model and the black and grey bezel goes with anything. A very versatile watch.

    Rootbeer is the best twotone of all time i guess. It’s unique with rose gold two tone and the color of bezel for this type of watch is perfect.

    Both beautiful pieces and as a root beer owner I’m slightly biased. That said having had several Rolex models over the years including other two tone steel and gold pieces the root beer just has that subtle class and understated elegance and is a must for me in a collection. Great review as well 👍

    To be fair, the original Clint Eastwood is on a jubilee. So you'll probably need to redo the video when rolex adds the rootbeer on a jubilee in a year or two. And they will do that.
    I just got the call for a Guinness and I'll pick it up next week. Really happy because i think the colours look really cool together. Out of the two gold, black and grey/steel is just a crisper, sportier colour combination then the warm brown, rose gold and black.

    The RootBeer is distinctive. The YG is ok, but it’s really no better than the GMT II ceramic YG from a few years back. And, it has the green GMT hand, which is special. RootBeer is always the best choice.
