Sold my Root beer

And immediately regretted it! Didn’t make a profit either as it was part of a trade. Called my AD and asked to order another one. Didn’t think he would due to me selling the first one. I’m a long time customer so I guess that is an advantage. A week later I have a new one! Its a keeper and brown dog approved!
I have to say, the Root beer is just a sexy piece!
A few terrible pics;

Congrats on righting a wrong so quickly! Curious what you traded your first one for that was compelling enough to part ways with it.

New Smurf. Awesome watch as well but not for a daily as I’d like to keep it looking new. That’ll probably change the longer I have it but most of the time it’s in the safe.

The white gold Smurf certainly is a nice piece to trade for. I'm glad you've got the means to have both the Root Beer & the Smurf. They are two, distinct, gorgeous models. Enjoy them!

Pup seems to be judging you for having sold the first one.

Congratulations! Now, just for kicks and giggles, sell this one and ask the AD for a 3rd?

love it. I'll get crushed for this, but I think it's the best looking GMT in the line. flame suit on.

It certainly is.

The BLNR is one of the worst rolex models ever released.
