Rolex GMT 126711CHNR "Rootbeer" Review and Ownership, My Grail Piece! 

I'll claim ownership of this "Jason" and say Thank You for the shoutout 😉!! Very happy you got the grail!

I waited 3 years for this guys - honestly - it looks so much better in person - it’s stunning ❤

I just picked up my root beer last week from my dealer. Such a beautiful watch. Congrats!

Congrats on getting your rootbeer! I just got my rootbeer on sunday from my AD and im still in disbelief!

My friend, congrats on obtaining your grail! I feel similarly about the BLNR. Another piece of background to appreciate if you didn't already know: in this international market, the country where something is "made" is often just where it was assembled. By law, timepieces claiming to be made in Switzerland only need to be 60% Swiss origin. Only two manufacturers on the market are completely vertically integrated: Seiko and Rolex. For these two brands every step is in-house from pouring the metal in their foundry to creating gear lubricants. Just one more reason Grand Seiko and Rolex deserve top-shelf distinction in my eyes.

Congratulations. My favorite currently available watch. Got mine early covid. So much more versatile than I would've thought. I wear it with all sorts of attire for all occasions. Always fetches a complement. Enjoy in good health.

For anyone interested. The rolex two tones are very flashy, and scratch easily. I think it sums it up. Proud owner of a two tone sub 41mm

Got the call today!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Will pick mine in a few days

This is also my grail. Have been waiting almost 2 years now. Such a beautiful watch.

Love it on the Rubber B. It dresses it down beautifully and gives it a real sporty look. *Update:* and as a result of your video, I have now ordered the Rubber B for my own Root Beer :)

I have been trying for the Bat Girl for fourteen months. Good for YOU !!!!!!!!

I love that it's your grail piece... so many these days are jaded with having to have something beyond special in order to be satisfied... a two tone Rolex for me is a grail piece, but I have a friend who won't be happy until he has a BLRO white gold Pepsi with a meteorite dial... that is literally the rarest of all the GMT's and basically a unicorn... it's not achievable?

A TT Rolex is hardly stealth. However, it is a lot more interesting than say a black sub. Congrats and wear it in good health!

Finally a REAL review in the REAL world with a REALLY USED rootbeer! Can’t say how much I loved your video! And thankyou for the strap version of this great watch (which is my grail also..)❤

Great video and congratulations on your watch. This Rootbeer is one of my grails and I’m believing I’ll get allocated one next year for my anniversary. Can you share the name of the location at 5:50 Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing and wear your watch in good health.

Congratulations on that acquisition! I too, fell in love with the watch and was able to get it in 2019 just before the insanity began. I do not care for the yellow gold two tone watches either for the same reason. The everose gold is not as flashy and kind of subdued. I have only worn mine less than ten times. But when I do put it on for an occasion, I feel like a million bucks!! Good luck, enjoy it! Btw, I dig the rubber strap. Where could I find that one?

Just subscribed. Excellent style of editing and shows how you really enjoy your watch. Great job.

I love my batman. But the rootbeer is FAR more beautiful. I already have a 2 tone 36mm rolex and a 41mm wimbledon dial in 2 tone rose gold. So I just needed "a stainless sports watch". But my next watch is the rootbeer or a 2 tone daytona. I saw the rootbeer in person... its stunning. Videos never do it justice.

Great video. Just got mine this past weekend. Wore it to just the mall and it’s already covered in micro hairline scratches without hitting it on anything. The rose gold and clasp scratch extremely easy. But going to wear it forever so time to get used to it. First week of owning a Rolex is always the hardest 😂

Congrats, and thanks for posting. Wonderful watch!!

Great review! It’s nice to see that you followed through and stayed patient and developed a relationship with your local AD. I’m doing the same thing with my local AD and I’ve really come to consider the people that work there my friends. Cheers and congrats on getting the allocation for that GMT. I’m waiting on the white gold Pepsi with Meteorite dial. Hopefully I get the call before they run out of Meteorite!

Congrats beautiful watch. I’m hesitant to get this one or the Explorer ii 42mm. Like them both. Anyone has them? Thoughts? Also any concerns with always watching over your shoulders??

So awesome! The only two tone watch I covet! Do you worry about wearing it in Public at all?

Love the video, this is exactly what i plan to do with my newly acquired GMT Rootbeer!! I got the call from my AD just 7 days ago and I absolutely love it! I need to pop back next month to get a link taken out as my wrists were tight that day and i thought I didn't need to.. Its worth the wait and totally worth every moment getting to know your local AD. Proving you are trustworthy client is massive and once you do that to show them you are not a flipper you could potentially get any timepiece. Cheers!

I have just purchased one to add to my Rolex collection and it’s amazing

Beautiful watch and lovely content.

gold dont rust and always polishes nicely

Great review. I recently just got one for myself. Where did you get the rubber band

Did you try the other Rolex AD’s in the city?

I have been to this Rolex Ad in New York City near 5th Ave....🎉

Been on the list for one of these at a local shop for almost a year now, although if they ever call I dont know if I could rationalize buying it. We will see

Congrats man, what city is this filmed in?

Spoke to an AD and they said they will call me. I don’t think there is really a wait list right? So how does someone purchase their first piece?

Beautiful!! Great review.. love the fact that your wearing it and enjoying it. Black Band 🔥. Got the call from my AD 3 days ago, going to pick it up tomorrow. I have the DJ2 (2009) ceramic sub (2021) and Batman (2017) .. RB will be my grail watch as well. Great video; Cheers

thank you. It is a really lovely GMT II ROOTBEER ROOT BEER beautiful

Rolex is not one of my favorites nor am i a hater. However this is my favorite piece ever in all watchmaking. Love this watch even morr all gold.

What is the approximate buying price for a GMT Master2 126711 CHNR in the United States?

Waiting for them to release this in jubilee!

How is someone able to obtain this watch? Well, you work hard and save some coin. Then you walk into a Rolex AD and buy the watch. Oh wait. Two years on a list now and got a call yesterday. They might get one in next week. Am I still interested? Keeping my fingers crossed. The joys of Rolex acquisition.

Congrats! Just got the call for this one. 😍

How much did you pay and where from pls?

Could you tell me please where i can buy the rubber strap for this piece ??

How do you put the rubber strap on?

In the bellevue Wa area?

my dream rolex.. i ahve a pgani design rootbeer for now.. good enoujgh lol

Congratulations beautiful watch👍👍👍😀😀

What is wrist size?

I have been on a waiting list since 2019 for a hulk and now they don't make them anymore never heard back...

Love my root beer 2023 ❤

I would absolutely avoid taking that watch into chlorine. Gold gets chewed up with chlorine. It's very bad for it. I have a Batman watch and a Sea-Dweller but my wife wanted to get me a Rolex and I was between the root beer or the 41 mm datejust Wimbledon dial in rose gold with a jubilee band and fluted. I ended up getting the Wimbledon mainly because I needed a dress watch and I already had the Batman and the sea-dweller. But it's absolutely my next watch.

I'm still waiting for mine....

I had a few two tone Rolex sports models and that contrast eventually became a turn off and dated to me. That's why I traded into something a little more uniform. Either go all steel or all gold imo 💯

How much does it weigh?

I love my rootbeer. Wear it in good health bud

I love my root beer

The only thing about this video: I Wonder WHAT has your girlfriend done to get the AD convinced to sell that piece to you? My imagination SKYROCKETED...

Beautiful stunning watch but I’m a little concerned what it was your GF did so that they would allocate you a GMT 🤔

Best advise I learned is to find a girlfriend that has the skills to convince the Rolex Sales associate :))

Amazing watch, and an even more amazing girlfriend! haha

I can't bring myself to pay those greedy flippers £2-3k more than Rolex charge for this gorgeous timepiece so with my 19cm wrist I bought the chunkier Tudor version instead. Very nice boutique experience too which for me is all part of buying a luxury watch, not just clicking online, typing in my card details & getting some fat, hairy DPD driver delivering it to my house...what's special about that as an experience?!

What a freaking watch!!! So sexy

How much jk

Did she bring knee pads to the AD? Just curious

Owning a Rolex nothing special for me since I have all of them including the hard to find Daytona panda What about Philip Patel nautilus got that too Walking to Rolex dealer wearing my Philip Patek has more respect 200k on my wrist

The Tudor GMT “Rootbeer” is better looking …. IMHO

What a good girlfriend.

Sounds like it was your girlfriend who got the deal done!

Ok so you must first have a girlfriend to get the watch. Got it.

Promo>SM

Not original unfortunately

So your gf did the work to get your watch not you lol

You’ve kinda shot yourself in the foot. I thought the site was all about GrandSeiko and appreciating them. Then you go buy a Rolex. It really shows what you really think of GS. Shame.

cant wait to buy a super replica of this watch

Drug dealer watch 🇬🇧💯%

Beautiful watch.

If you're an educator/teacher how can you afford this nice expensive watch? 🤔🥰😍😂

Hahahaha I think Rolex has a massive problem on their hands! Oh, but I just ordered a $400 Rolex Super Replica from nkuwan. Saving around $28,000!
