It really doesn't look right to me.

boktan · 22 March 2018, 11:08 AM

Beautiful

McLovin · 22 March 2018, 11:15 AM

That new TT is my Basel fav so far. Can't wait to see it in person.

Droolex · 22 March 2018, 11:18 AM

Same here!

rallyx · 22 March 2018, 11:41 AM

Looks more like Espresso to me with the black and brown. It's nice, especially the 2 tone one.

psv · 22 March 2018, 11:44 AM

I wish it didn't have a black dial.

elcompa · 22 March 2018, 11:45 AM

A hard pass! A total miss, in my book.

lucevan le stelle · 22 March 2018, 11:50 AM

I think you have to see it in person really. The issue is whether and when your AD will have it in order for you to see it.

marcellomatt5 · 22 March 2018, 11:54 AM

Make some sense to me:

Looks like the new Root Beer took on a new twist!!!
Forget the old and bring in the New!!!!

Black n Brown it is !!!

Flyfisher · 22 March 2018, 12:19 PM

If the Rootbeer were a person, I think it would be confused on which bathroom to use.

GBD · 22 March 2018, 12:43 PM

It just doesn't look right to me. It totally lacks the charm of the previous versions, which had a lovely copper color. This just looks turdish.

Joearch · 22 March 2018, 12:46 PM

I like the gold case with brown and black ceramic Bezel. Very handsome to me. I don't see paying that much somwill be happily staying with my BLNR.

hopkinswatch22 · 22 March 2018, 01:35 PM

My first impression is that I really think the all gold version looks awesome, I can't wait to see it in person.

yannis · 22 March 2018, 01:51 PM

It does look very nice. I prefer the colours on the bezel to the BLRO.

chieftd · 22 March 2018, 01:53 PM

what is the suggested price for the new Root Beer TT GMT? Thanks, Tim

I'm really fond of the CHNR. The colors are Chocolate and Black. I don't see any reference to root beer except in the minds of those who can't move past yesterday. It's a new watch and the best looking two tone bezel GMT that Rolex is currently got in production, IMHO.

At the risk of offending other members, the blue on the BLNR reminds me of the royal blue double breasted suits from the 60s. The BLRO is too much of a throw back to the original GMTs with the wrong color; not wanting a Jubilee bracelet either. The CHNR to me is a new watch, new color, like the BLNR was except muted and pretty not harsh and garish.

I guess I'll be in it close to alone. I really don't understand the need to label it as a Root Beer considering Rolex has labeled it as Chocolate. Whatever...

Fresh_1 · 10 April 2018, 10:13 AM

From photos I like it,looks very unique but have to
see in the flesh to be 100% sure.

TimeToWatch · 10 April 2018, 10:18 AM

It does kind of look like a coke bezel. I wonder if the root beer was introduced simply because Rolex couldn’t perfect the coke colors?

(but I'm an old-timer, compared to others on the forum)

I completely agree, very different look, more of a special occasion watch not an everyday watch but stunning in the right settings.

Everybody that saw the TT in person was stunned, when they look back at 2018 baselworld in 10 years you will see this was the IT watch.

brandrea · 10 April 2018, 10:32 AM

I’m liking it in pictures. With these cerachrome bezels, ill feserve final judgement till I see it in the metal.

Dr.Smellody · 10 April 2018, 10:49 AM

I love it!

riverrat · 10 April 2018, 11:19 AM

Im on "the list" for this one and decided this will be my new everyday watch. Then today I had to write lots of checks to mail off on April 15th so maybe Ill just be looking at it when it comes in to the store, damnit. I honestly cant wait to put my eyes on it and hope between now and then Ill be able to rebuild my bank account a bit.

JayAK · 10 April 2018, 11:35 AM

I need to see it in the metal. I’m not sure yet...
