It is my next watch, as soon as I can convince an AD to sell me one!

This guy is totally right: rootbeer. 16713!! Great match with bluesy!

The Rootbeer is definitely easy to get imo - I was told I could get one by my AD during the lockdown period despite me rather casually asking a week or so before. But I turned it down as it isn't the right time just now. I just feel it is a big commitment atm.
I really like the Rootbeer, I just think even at RRP it is a little high because of the Dec payrise.

Hey Guys! In a weird twist of events I contacted my local AD and they were able to get me a Rootbeer. Definitely a weird buying experience because of the pandemic but I should have the watch in my hands tomorrow.

Initially I contacted them thinking maybe I would have to wait awhile but when he said they had a Rootbeer I had to jump on it.

Pics to come!

Of course I would go for the Pepsi as my first choice but as you've stated its a waiting game and relationship. If you can get your hands on the root beer take it. Its a beautiful watch also

Wow, my AD told me that a Rootbeer would be 18 months at least, to be honest I can't be bothered to wait that long so am looking at other brands, and may not bother at all due to the current circumstances.

You’ve got the basics of a fantastic collection there. I’d go SS to add variety, either BLRO jubilee or BLNR oyster.

Exp II also a very good option.

Outside of Rolex, Tudor BB GMT if your wrists can handle it
