They complement one another well. The bluesy is , in my opinion, the most versatile watch in existence.

The root beer two tone might second.

Great pairing! Love my both...especially as I’ve just had my Rootbeer back from the RSC to have the bezel realigned!

The 12/24 marker was off centre, about 2-3mm off to the right. No matter how many times I tried to move it from right to left, kept falling back in that position and bugged the hell out of me. My AD at first suggested that he couldn’t see anything wrong but still sent it away and the RSC did agree so realigned the bezel

Yes, that would have bugged the hell out of me too.

Glad you got it sorted.

Now enjoy that beauty

The Root Beer is great, I hope to eventually get one and wear it on a brown leather strap. Congrats.

The GMT is gorgeous. Make that Gorgeous; the blue Sub simply bends the beauty needle.

Your picture quality equals the tasteful design of the watches. Very nice photography.

Awesome shots, Max. Both are the only TT I would ever consider in the current line up. Which one do you find yourself reaching for more?

Thanks - at the moment the GMT just because it’s newest so still in the honeymoon period.

The Sub still has its place but i do feel a lot more conscious wearing it purely because of the bling factor
