Clueless_Collector, also known as Raymond, shares his unexpected acquisition of the Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126711CHNR, affectionately known as the "Root Beer." Despite his usual preference against two-tone watches, Raymond's post captures the allure of this 2018 Baselworld release, highlighting its warm and subtle color combination. His playful contemplation of "stealing" the watch from his boss, for whom he initially secured it, adds a personal and humorous touch to the unboxing experience.
The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 126710 was introduced in 2018, marking a significant update to the GMT-Master II line. This reference is notable for reintroducing the Jubilee bracelet to the GMT-Master II collection, a feature previously associated with earlier GMT-Master models. It is distinguished by its Cerachrom bezel insert, available in specific color combinations, and the updated movement, enhancing its precision and functionality within the professional watch range.
This reference features a 40mm Oystersteel case, characteristic of Rolex's robust construction. It is equipped with the Caliber 3285, an automatic movement developed by Rolex, offering a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to 100 meters, ensuring durability and legibility under various conditions. The bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel facilitates the tracking of multiple time zones.
The 126710 appeals to collectors interested in modern Rolex tool watches with historical design cues. Its introduction with the Jubilee bracelet provided a new aesthetic option for the GMT-Master II, complementing the existing Oyster bracelet variants. The availability of different bezel color combinations, such as the blue and red "Pepsi" or black and blue "Batman," further defines its place within the contemporary Rolex catalog.
Itโs the best 2 tone Rolex makes in my opinion!
The Boss has a great taste. IMHO your skydweller also will look better on the Boss. Perhaps for the Boss casual/denim time. Maybe The Boss should just leave you with this
They really nailed the color, first time making brown and black ceramic bezel. Thanks ripper444.
Iโm really liking it but Iโll take the G-Shock jelly if given the chance. Thanks Gelato Monster
My wife did the same some time ago but with the Batman. Unfortunately I don't wear it often because I need to add a link to the bracelet to be able to wear it.
To both your wife and you Great choice!
