126711 CHNR GMT Master II Owner's Thread

Let's get this party started for this gorgeous watch! This should not be referred to as "Root Beer". I vote "Black and Tan"

Nice watch, except the chocolate colored bezel encourages my sweet tooth, now I crave the finest Swiss made chocolate ㅇㅅㅇ

Should the serial be out in the open?

Looking good!

Rolex put it there for the world to see. Why not in photos?

Loving this thread!!!

Anyone own multiple GMTs? Curious to see how this complements the BLNR in a collection.

I love this watch. Hard not to call it the root beer, but I like Black and Tan as suggested earlier.

No more mention of Black and Tan or we'll be having all sorts of terror groups next. Know your history.

Love this watch. I hope to be an owner someday. I like the names suggested, but I think "Root Beer" is already the moniker. Great photos all.

That's a great name! I will refer to mine as the Guinness from here on out. Root beer should be reserved for the classic root beer.

I think you're right, it is super nice!
Normally I'm not the biggest fan of two tone, but it works incredibly well with this colour scheme.
