Just got the call...GMT II Rootbeer TT

Do I snag it? Just picked up a BLNR recently and have a DSSD 116660

Thoughts ?

I would. It's 100x nicer than the overhyped BLNR.

Go try and buy if you like. If you only want it because its scarce, then leave it for the next

Do you want it? Do you like it? Have you tried it on?

If you answered yes to these three questions, then I would recommend that you get it.

Awesome and congrats! Had a feeling if you went in just to check it out the decision was already made (you just didn't know it yet)!

Pics or it didn't happen!

If you like it then buy it! If not, let someone else who really wants it have the opportunity to purchase.

It is a stunner of a piece once you put it on. I hope to add it to the collection one day.

It is a no lose situation to purchase the watch. If you like it and it grows on you keep it and enjoy. If you don't like it after a period then sell it for a profit.

True. Also positions my purchase history meaningfully with the CHNR. Who knows...Daytona or Pepsi could be next

Didn’t know these were in demand, saw it at Wempe and didn’t think twice. Could have alerted you guys!
