Why did they attempt this with RG and not YG like the original?

These are pretty bad, IMO. Only means continued price increases for 5-series GMTs.

I think the RG will look great. The brown insert, on the other hand, not so much.

I like it. I think that this is one of those combinations that pictures don't do justice. Brown and rose gold will look good together.

It'll probably look better IRL but who knows, look at that Daytona.

Here it is in real life. I think it looks better than the rendering....unlike the new Pepsi.

You know what, the more I look at it, the more I like it, it really grows on me. But my heart is set on the steel Pepsi.

I like it a hell of a lot more than the dumb idea of putting a blue dial on the WG Blro. I can tell you that much at least.

These guys are a bit annoying but at least the video shows a much more accurate representation of every watch released than the photos posted here. The Root Beer bezel is indeed brown and not red like it looks in those shots.

VERY hard to watch this, must keep skipping forward to avoid the nonsense and get to each watch. And STILL skip over the nonsense while discussing each watch.

Do you think the rose gold Root Beer will sell at a premium once released?

I quite like it but don’t want to pay retail only to see it discounted by 20%.

I don't like nicknames to begin with but I like espresso better than root beer, which has already been used.

I don't think it will be a fast seller. You should be able to get a discount on it especially if you wait a while. You'll get an even better price from the GM. These will be available on display like most gold models. Not everyone has over $30k to buy a new gold watch all the time. I don't think the TT will sell fast either. Maybe when it's first available since some people always like to show off the latest stuff.
