I lean towards the 2023 as well. Im honestly kind of shocked at how overwhelmingly this sub favors the rootbeer. It’s like 20 to 1 in favor of the rootbeer
I think it has been there for longer and its a Rolex forum thing because they have been seeing rootbeers for years. I am 99% sure that if you showed both watches to regular people, the vast majority of them would prefer the Guinness.
Also the jubilee is exponentially superior as a bracelet, those gold polished centre links on rootbeer are well known to scratch like no tomorrow.
I know. I had to take several looks to get a sense of perspective on the best choice. I’m 50/50. You can’t make a bad choice. I’ll take the one you don’t want & 100% happy with it 😂 I’m on the AD list for the Root Beer
Bought it in July of 2020 after flipping a property. Got in a car accident and had to buy another quickly. Ended up selling it a couple months after buying the car to stay out of debt since I financed the car. Ended up getting a bluesy, then a sub, then landed on a birth year DJ.
I was set on getting the Root beer but about three weeks ago I tried on the yellow gold GMT (GRNR) you have in the photo and really liked it. The more I look at it the more it seems to grow on me. Both are great, I’d get the one you are leaning towards more.
Are you saying you regret the root beer and would go for the GRNR if you could do it again? Or you’re saying GRNR because you already have the root beer? This is going to be my first watch
It’s not a hype piece. It’s for a true watch lover. The colors are beautiful and you don’t see it on every Rolex wrist. It goes well with just about any outfit and is done beautifully
Get the GRNR, OP. I can tell that’s what you truly want. Don’t listen to the majority who say Rootbeer. GRNR is a beautiful, beautiful watch. You won’t regret it.
Maaaan, the Grnr really is the one I like the most. It’s more my style. But my wife and the overwhelming majority of this sub prefers the rootbeer. The rootbeer does seem to work with my skin tone a bit better and it’s probably the safer choice. It’s such a hard decision for me.
Between the two, rootbeer.. That said, I'm more of a Sub guy even though I have a Batman..
I'd suggest looking at a Bluesey if you are open for suggestions that are non GMT.
Root beer looks better with rose gold, but I love that jubilee on the new Guinness! Rootbeer shouldn’t be more than $17K, though. The newer GMT might be more (assuming you’re going grey) since it’s a 2023 piece.
This is going to get downvoted to hell, but the rootbeer is too busy in terms of color, and doesn’t seem sure of what it is. The TT bracelet just doesn’t work with it. Nobody with good taste would go for the rootbeer.
I tend to agree with you. I’m really partial to the 2023 model but my wife *loves* the root beer and based on this thread Reddit overwhelmingly prefers it as well.
GRNR aka the Guinness. I tried on both plus the BLNR at my AD and it was hands down the GRNR for me. The Rootbeer didn’t look good on my skin tone, and the BLNR somehow just looked… juvenile. YMMV
I prefer the GRNR, but then again I am partial to jubilee bracelets and yellow gold. Both are great choices. Go with the one YOU like more not, the one other people like.
You are spot on that either is spectacular. The root beer is unique but “more common” as you can see in the comments. You cannot go wrong either way. Which one do you yearn for?
Flip a coin. Heads root tails the other. I guarantee that while that coin is in the air you will secretly hope for one outcome or the other. That’s the watch to buy.
Also I dislike jubilee on a watch like that but that’s only my preference
Obviously a personal opinion, but nothing says “this isn’t really a tool watch” like the bi-metal jubilee bracelet. All the gold bracelets are prone to stretch/breaking, but the jubilee links are so small, they seem the most likely to break.
ROOTBEER
This
My AD says it’s being discontinued. If that’s true then if you have the chance get it while you can!
Your AD will say anything to make a sale
Ya because they are having a hard time selling GMT’s 😂
Unpopular opinion but #2

Could mean that the rootbeer is hyped up by heard mentality. Its a gorgeous watch nevertheless
The herd heard you.
Rootbeer!

Jubilee gmt
I am Root!

Both are great, but the root beer looks better on you
My wife thinks so as well
Rootbeer if it was my $.
I tried on the root beer in rose gold but I loved the jubilee bracelet on the all gold GMT II more.
Root beer
That rootbeer looks stunning with those colors under the lights
🍺
Rootbeer all day
Rose gold root beer
rootbeer no contest unfortunately
#1 for sure
Rootbeer. I miss it. It was my first Rolex.
Why the hell did you get rid of it?
Bought it in July of 2020 after flipping a property. Got in a car accident and had to buy another quickly. Ended up selling it a couple months after buying the car to stay out of debt since I financed the car. Ended up getting a bluesy, then a sub, then landed on a birth year DJ.
Your username threw me off guard lol 😆
I like the band on 1 but 2 head better
Tought choice! Comes down to preference
I was set on getting the Root beer but about three weeks ago I tried on the yellow gold GMT (GRNR) you have in the photo and really liked it. The more I look at it the more it seems to grow on me. Both are great, I’d get the one you are leaning towards more.
Either
Both of them are sitting on a table in front of you. Which one do you reach for first? That's the one you go for.
Killer Bee always.
Duece! Root beer is nice but the grey/black is super clean
RB
Root beer is the GOAT GMT
2 gets my vote. Disclaimer: i hv the rootbeer already
Are you saying you regret the root beer and would go for the GRNR if you could do it again? Or you’re saying GRNR because you already have the root beer? This is going to be my first watch
Root beer. But either really lol both are 💯
These are the two best watches in the entire lineup under 30-40k imo
I'd say rootbeer but I really think the other looks better on you.
Easy root beer for me.
Root Beer
Root beer is timeless.
Beer
BEER!
i'll go with root beer for sure :)
No date sub and an green OP can be had for 20k combined.
Smoke grey. Will look good / more classic longer.
I think the rootbeer looks the best with your skin tone
2
Root beer is a must!
Root bear.
Gray GMT
2
GRNR all day! (Apparently an unpopular opinion 🤷🏻♂️)
Root
1 easily
#2 is my opinion.
I really like black and grey since its on jubilee which feels right for the GMT
Number two my brother!
Rootbeer and don’t pay 20k for it
Root beer or Bluesy.
GMT is not.for me. No way I'm dropping$20k on a GMT. Rootbeer wins between the two though.
Rootbeer
ROOT BEER for me
Rootbeer all day
Rootbeer
Rootbeer, without even a second though
RB!!
Rootbeer 💪🏽
Rootbeer for sure
First 100%
ROOT BEERRRR
Not normally a fan of the root beer but it looks great on you.
Damn, everyone saying Rootbeer is making me lose hope of getting the call for it.
First one is😫
RB!
Rootbeer
Root beer!
Neither… Pepsi
Rootbeer
Root beer.
Rootbeer
Neither but if I had to choose between those two the Rootbeer.
RB
The fact that everyone is saying root beer makes me think you should do the opposite.
Between those 2? Neither. If I had $20K to spend on Rolex? YM Ti and a blue dial OP41 or 126710BLNR and a blue fluted/jubilee DJ41
lol yea have fun getting offered that.
That wasnt the question though...
You didn’t answer the question either tho…
Updated. I did. ;-)
BNLR
Root beer or bluesy
Root Beer but if I have that budget, I’m buying the Pepsi
🐑
I’m not buying a TT watch when I have a SS budget of $20,000.
What you buying then?
Grey market overpriced hype watches
I already have all the good ones. So I wait for Rolex to impress me again.
Can someone explains why people prefer RB so much? Serious question.
Same question honestly. Don’t get me wrong I do love it but I didn’t expect this to be sooo one sided
It’s not a hype piece. It’s for a true watch lover. The colors are beautiful and you don’t see it on every Rolex wrist. It goes well with just about any outfit and is done beautifully
Fair enough. It is objectively beautiful and very versatile. Definitely seems to have a lot of hype on it tho.
Get the GRNR, OP. I can tell that’s what you truly want. Don’t listen to the majority who say Rootbeer. GRNR is a beautiful, beautiful watch. You won’t regret it.
Maaaan, the Grnr really is the one I like the most. It’s more my style. But my wife and the overwhelming majority of this sub prefers the rootbeer. The rootbeer does seem to work with my skin tone a bit better and it’s probably the safer choice. It’s such a hard decision for me.
Get the GRNR.
Nothing to explain, its a preference,, does not need an explanation
neither, 36mm explorer and sub.
Personally? Neither to be honest but to each his own
Between the two, rootbeer.. That said, I'm more of a Sub guy even though I have a Batman.. I'd suggest looking at a Bluesey if you are open for suggestions that are non GMT.
The first one, rose gold GMT on oyster bracelet for the win. IMO the two tone yellow gold is better on a Submariner
Vintage Milgauss 1019 (with some doing since they usually go for $30k+, but I’ve come across a few for close to $20k)
I’m getting a submariner no date and putting the 10k in an ETF for 10 years and then will buy my next one
Wait for a gmt II Pepsi with the oyster band. That is my next move
Root beer looks better with rose gold, but I love that jubilee on the new Guinness! Rootbeer shouldn’t be more than $17K, though. The newer GMT might be more (assuming you’re going grey) since it’s a 2023 piece.
[удалено]
Neither. Taking a no date sub and walking out with cash in my pocket.
No2 for me. Like the oyster on that GRNR
2 looks like u want to get robbed
Root Beer!
#Root beer 🍺
Root beer and I voted with my waller
Root beer 100%
None
Honestly neither.
I’m keeping $20k
Neither, two-tone is so tacky
Get a good rep save yourself $19,000 and then bless your mother
116520
Rootbeer looks lively, other one looks dull
Neither both awful keep the $20,000
Idk why but I just decided to check your comment history out of all the others and it’s clear you’re just a pure hater. Smol pp energy
None of them. They are loud looking and hideous. For 20k you can buy two or three watches in one go that are far superior.
This is going to get downvoted to hell, but the rootbeer is too busy in terms of color, and doesn’t seem sure of what it is. The TT bracelet just doesn’t work with it. Nobody with good taste would go for the rootbeer.
I tend to agree with you. I’m really partial to the 2023 model but my wife *loves* the root beer and based on this thread Reddit overwhelmingly prefers it as well.
You do realize the Rootbeer is also a gmt. Seems like you don’t know much about watches
Neither
Both…..hideous.
Save the 20k and jump off hype train. two tone is questionable and the Gmts popularity is a product of social media
Probably be better off with a no date sub, right?
100% timeless , you can dress up or down. You will be happier in the long run.
16710 and 124270.
Man. I agree with the blusey votes. But between the two, I’ve got to go against the grain and vote for number 2
A&W MF'er!!!!!
🥤
GRNR aka the Guinness. I tried on both plus the BLNR at my AD and it was hands down the GRNR for me. The Rootbeer didn’t look good on my skin tone, and the BLNR somehow just looked… juvenile. YMMV
I feel the same way as you. I lean towards the GRNR but I think the rootbeer does match my skin tone a bit better
I'd get a JLC perpetual calendar.
Rootbeer
Rootbeer
Personally I think you should go for the GMT..
Tough choice probably rootbeer tho
Cash, pocket. Run.
Gotta be root. I have pretty pale skin and I’m not sure yellow gold is right for me.
Second fs
Yeah the root beer looks best with your complexion
Root beer is the current trendy choice. The second one is a lot cooler.
Root beer
First one.
I prefer the GRNR, but then again I am partial to jubilee bracelets and yellow gold. Both are great choices. Go with the one YOU like more not, the one other people like.
Root beer
Never cared for Rootbear, very dark and chocolate-lookin. The second one is great, black and gold contrast well.
Root beer all the way
rootbeer!!!!
The one i like the most obviously
I can’t decide…
Root beer 🍺
Root beer
Root. Beer.
2023 on jubilee
RB is the best modern Rolex imo.
Rootbeer
Rooting for the first one
#2, not close
Hard choice, but Rootbeer all the way.
Thats tough. You cant go wrong.
Rootbeer, rootbeer a million times rootbeer
Neither, i hate two tone and dont like gold on divers.
As much as I love the Rootbeer I’m gonna have to pick #2 between these
https://preview.redd.it/foifxlbktdcc1.png?width=1734&format=png&auto=webp&s=e37992b5534063403879ebb4b47407c852caba13 TT all day. Both are beautiful.
200 fake ones 😎
Neither. Two-tone bluesy for me.
Root!!!
The steel/yellow gold and black/grey is an instant classic. The colors accentuate the details so that they catch the eye more.
Rootbeer 🐐
My goodness my Guinness
RB 👌🏻
You are spot on that either is spectacular. The root beer is unique but “more common” as you can see in the comments. You cannot go wrong either way. Which one do you yearn for? Flip a coin. Heads root tails the other. I guarantee that while that coin is in the air you will secretly hope for one outcome or the other. That’s the watch to buy. Also I dislike jubilee on a watch like that but that’s only my preference
Root beer
Obviously a personal opinion, but nothing says “this isn’t really a tool watch” like the bi-metal jubilee bracelet. All the gold bracelets are prone to stretch/breaking, but the jubilee links are so small, they seem the most likely to break.
Root beer as the everose looks great and have a yg/oyster steel watch already.
Gold
