Rolex

Stunning.

 

Both the Concord and this “no crown guards” are gorgeous. I love the fact that neither of them has the Mercedes hour hand. And I think I like the shape of the hands of the “no crown guards” even better (even if I like the bigger GMT arrow of the Concord). Thanks for sharing these incredible pieces.

Overview of the Root Beer models

The warm color scheme of these Rolex GMT models has always felt attractive to me (especially the three first variants, with a brownish dial). Have a nice week! Best, Emmanuel 1/ Ref. 1675/3 (1970): 40 mm case, steel & yellow gold, brown matte dial, applie...  

These Rolex "Root beer" 1675 are wonderful with their brown dial.

A subset of the wonderful models that fall under the 1675 banner. Root beer in general terms are the two tone 1675's. A counsin. ...  

I like your “cousin” very much.

Not that many Rolex really speak to me, but this one definitely does. Wonderful.

Stunning.

Watch number 2 has made me consider Rolex certified pre owned many times. This even as I’m mostly off Rolex these days.

I’m generally not into Rolex,

but these models really speak to me, as do the full gold ones shared by Bill just above: such beautiful pieces. The modern version of the Root Beer doesn’t have a comparable charm, imo. Best, Emmanuel

My favorite Root Beer model

Common nickname is “Float” I’m not sure of the model number but I’m pretty sure it’s still available. Cazalea 😉 ...  

I am a big fan and admirer of the rot beers!

Thanks for this great post, dear Emmanuel. For me the color scheme of these GMT models is the most attractive. Greetings from my little gem: Cheers Thomas ...
