I wear my Rootbeer everywhere with everything. Its a great looking watch. And trust me… no one really notices Our watches but Us. And those that do, mistake it for a Michael Kors

I don't personally like it, but I wouldn't consider it douchey.
There are some watches that really stick out as douchey, but a TT GMT isn't one of them. |

It’s all in the eye of the perceiver. However, it’s a beautiful watch, but it does make its presence known. I sold my Pepsi and a Daytona, as I was tired of asking myself the same question. I think anyone who thinks people don’t notice Rolex watches are very mistaken. Rolex spends a fortune on marketing and everyone knows what a Rolex is and looks like, and yes rightly or wrongly some people will judge you . The green goblin of greed is generally the motivator. It really only matters how you judge yourself? Just the fact that you’re asking yourself that question kind of answers your own question. Like anything what you wear sometimes is judged in the context, not in what you have. Wearing a Rolex on a soup line versus wearing a Rolex in the boardroom, it’s all about the context.

Most people do not realise the value of the watch and I do not tell them. To tell them...now That would be douchey. |

Root Beer GMT: Classy or douchey watch?
I think the classy vs douchey argument can be made for any modern Rolex watch, depending on the person wearing it and the perception of whose looking at it.
Buy it if YOU like it, as long as you’re not a douche it won’t come off that way lol. |

It is a very classy watch. The best two tone of Rolex in my view. Still waiting for mine....

Agree CHNR > Sub TT. The CHNR is frankly one of the most visually interesting pieces Rolex makes. |

I usually hate two-tone but the Rootbeer is one of the few I'd wear. Beautiful piece

Yes I agree the root beer is super douchey, send it to me for proper disposal.

Just picked one up. Once it was on the wrist, I fell in love.
Great watch, the rootbeer with the rose gold. |

Two tone is never a good look
Sorry Your gut is right and your Explorer is nicer.

Classy. A douchey attitude is on the wearer, not on the watch.

I generally am not a TT fan but I find it an incredibly handsome watch that sometimes gets overshadowed by the BLNR and BLRO, but I think you could make the argument that it is, in fact, a more handsome watch than the BLNR and BLRO.
It is probably a much more visible watch than most other Rolex models simply because it is very eye-catching and pleasing to the eyes. If you like it, definitely wear it! |

Not douchy at all. I think it’s beautiful. There are just other models/colors that would be on on my list that are ahead of it.

IMO, the adjectives 'classy' or 'douchey' apply more to people, not watches. Your appearance is dictated much more by your sense of fashion/style than whatever watch you're wearing. Which, speaking of watches, I think you're being a little unfair with the CHNR. I can't think of many everyday situations it wouldn't be at home with, TBH.
But most importantly, you're overthinking it. Just enjoy your watches. You've got two great ones. |

If you think the CHNR is "eye catching" then you should try wearing a bluesy.
The Bluesy gets 10x more attention than my CHNR .. i feel that the CHNR is the understated piece. -- as far as weather its duechy or not -- well.. the watch is just a watch, and how you wear it is what would make it duechy or not. Are you a douche? |

not necessarily douchey watch, however it should be mandatory to sport a mustache to pull off the 2-tone look! (gmt, dj, sub, etc.)

The Rootbeer is not a Douchey watch, it is the Douchey watch.
