IN REVIEW - The Root Beer 🍻 126711CHNR

Hi guys,
So I managed to get hold of this stunning release and compiled a little review.
If you like macro shots, I've been known to shoot a few decent ones.

In my opinion, This watch is the best Release from Rolex in 2018. It's just a very well thought out and out together watch.

Great video! Love the color. . Still have never encounter root beer Rolex in person yet. Pepsi bezel or root beer will def be on my list of next watches.

Be sure you do before making a decision, its such a well balanced watch visually. They have done well with this one.

If you need any more feedback (I've owned the Pepsi since April), shoot me a message. More than happy to help out where I can.

great video!! I just picked up mine last week. I will be doing a post in the coming days. Just have not taken some decent pics of it yet. The color of this watch is best appreciated in daylight in the sun. It is incredible.

Thank you kindly for your review and video of this stunning watch. But, of course, I’m partial since I’ve been wearing this watch since June. Having worn a number of different GMT’s for over 40 years, Rolex really nailed this particular design with the integration of the rose gold and black and brown bezel. Kind regards from New Jersey and best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday and new year.

You should be able to get one at retail if you give it a little time. Have you inquired at any ADs?

So these are not available yet? Waiting list?

Best new Rolex I have seen in quite sometime. Question is it as heavy and substantial as the rose gold YM II? Trying to get a feeling for it on my wrist. I noticed I have not logged in to the forums in almost 2 years and good to be back on

Wish i had seen this before picking one up. Nevertheless I'm very happy. These seem to be in VERY short supply.
