Undoubtedly one of the more beautiful Rolex watches ever made.
Indeed. It’s even better in person 👌
Yes it is
@Watch Geek I do
Just wanted to add that my favourite part of your channel is that you include shots of watches that are not too close up, but show the watch more how other people would view it on you as you wear it. I think that is one large differentiating factor between your channel and other watch reviewers that only show the watch close-up on the wrist and in macro. It's great to see the pieces from a different perspective!
Cheers
Thanks so much for the feedback. I actually realised myself that I liked how the watches were wearing on others wrists and that gave me a completely different look to how it looked on my own/wearers wrist from wearer view, that’s when I decided to start showing watch on the wrist from third persons perspective :)
Thanks again for the feedback - helps me keep producing these clips :)
Very good point. Matching the watches to the shirt (which is something that one would try to do in real life as well) also helps to imagine how would the watch look in real life situations. This is really a nice point of differentiation from other videos. Keep it up.
Agreed! Thank you for the great angles.
You have done justice to the most beautiful Rolex, ever made. It is a complete watch for all occasions.
What color clothing would you wear this with ? Also would you wear it with a suit ?
@@Longshore79 wear it with anything and everything. The watch makes it's own mark.
Just got mine today after a year on the waiting list. This timepiece is even more gorgeous in person.
this is the only two tone watch I would wear.
The colour co-ordination is simply stunnig.
I love it! ......it’s classy and sporty and a traveler’s best friend. 70 hours power reserve and better lume makes it a beauty. I’m getting one. Time to trade in my older models.
The best everyday dress and sports watch! Great on all skin colors. The only watch if you want a one watch collection. Nice video mate!!
You are genuinely talented in the reviews you have orated. They are informational, enjoyable and a pleasure to kick back and consume Thank you for sharing your love of horology with a fellow brother. 🙏🏼. PS This piece arrives tomorrow....I'm so excited!!!
The other night I had a dream a firend had a new rootbeer and let me try it on. I woke up wanting one. Instead, I RUclips searched it and saw Hafiz made a review a year ago. Great video, gorgeous watch, but I'm afraid it will have to stay in my dreams for now. Thank you, Hafiz.
The GMT-Master II isn't a sports model for me, so the two-tone setup just makes sense. It's warm, luxurious but still functional. In my opinion the only gripe is the color scheme of the bezel. Regarding the color transition of the bezel, I think Rolex takes "18" as a whole, so the transition was put in the middle of 18 rather than 8. Personally I agree with their choice.
Agree
I agree to, it would look bad if they did it in the other way
Definitely one of the best piece Rolex produced in recent years.
Amazing video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻i have this watch for a year and a half and love it more everyday
Excellent review. This is one of the most beautiful Rolexes made. In person, it blows your mind. Probably the best 2 tone.
Absolutely loving all the rose gold variations at the moment. Can’t decide among Royal Oak 120th Anniversary 25810OR, Daytona with black dial or the GMT. Nautilus is already out of the quotation as they‘ve put a stop on that one. If you‘d come by any of those, I‘d appreciate a comment or two.
On this note, well deserved success with your videos. I assume you‘ve got to know already yourself that your content is most definitely the most personal, in terms of actually having personal experience and emotional attachement to the watches at display, and consistent in quality. Actually, it’s rather inclining in production quality. Love the consideration of shots from personal and 3rd person view as well as the macros. Many do high level observation by stating the obvious and therefore lacking to transmit any proper knowledge and connect with the consumer but you do the opposite by introducing watches as they’re supposed to be, an artistic wearable. Looking forward to keep hearing from you how these masterpieces feel and wear.
An excellent and impartial review. Picked mine up in Jan 2020 and its a keeper for sure.
Thanks mate. Another great review!! Keep up the good job!!
You put in a lot of effort in every one of your review. Truly enjoyable !
I just got mine yesterday from AD, super happy with it!
Once again another great close up/review! Must see in person to see beauty of rootbeer!
Thanks so much :)
I got a chance to handle and try this 2T GMT on at the AD. It’s absolutely a gorgeous watch. Not a fan of two tone Rolex but on this GMT the combo works. It’s cheaper and more available than the new Pepsi GMT on the secondary market.
Agreed. This configuration just works so well.
Really love the way you make videos. Keep up the awesome work! This is one of my fav watches!
your videos are so well made!
Excellent video with amazing shots of the watch. Thinking of seriously adding this watch to my collection. My first two tones. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I don’t think you’d regret if you do add one. All the best 👍
Your intros with the matching music is amazing...
The colour way on this watch is just amazing...probably a top 3 Rolex for me
Super review and super shots! This is probably the best GMT Master ii that one can currently buy. I love the Pepsi too but am kinda put off by the shabby paint job on the GMT hand... definitely not expected from Rolex! This being with gold GMT hand atleast won’t have any bad paint job.. makes me prefer this over Pepsi!
The quality of your videos are very impressive.
My search for videos on this watch is what brought me to your channel. I am now a big fan and watch all your new ones! I can't wait to finally get my own Rootbeer. I am currently first in line with my AD and should hopefully get one before the year ends. I have watched this video numerous times already to help hold me over until the big day arrives and I can pick up my own watch! Thanks for all the work you put into these videos, I am sure you will hit 100k before you know it!
Did you receive the call?
@@therealkiasu I did!
@@MannyZ28 Congrats. No way for me in getting it here in Asia without being a ''preferred client''.
@@therealkiasu Thank you! Pepsi is next on the list! Your day will come too!
Already own Batman and Pepsi and your video makes me want to own the third GMT! Excellent review!
Wow this sports model is a nice piece for sure, and your production is tops in the community!
Thanks so much :)
Another great video! The Rootbeer GMT is my absolutely favourite Rolex Watch. I have a Ceramic Bluesy 116613LB but this one is next level!
Eric CPOP both watched are phenomenal - I own the root beer and it is an absolute stunner - pictures don’t do it justice!!
Hi Eric, I too one this Rootbeer variant and am so please that i do not require another watch. BTW it gives me 3 seconds fast per day. how about your watch accuracy, do you mind sharing this with me? Also I bought this watch for US 12000, how about you?
Yah the price of this two tone is also on the next level! 😂😂😂 Nice watch but i still think the bluesy is a much more beautiful and impressive watch than this. This one doesnt have a sunburst dial.
I don’t see why you want this one if you have two tone blue sub…that blue sub looks way better than this one.
@@uropy It's called being a watch collector lol. A Diver and a GMT serve two different purposes. They do look similar granted but as a watch collector the difference is quite substantial.
My dream GMT❤
Haven’t visited the channel in a while. But what a perfect time to revisit this channel. Never thought I’d even consider two tones but this completely blew me away. Thanks for another great review and always excellent camera work. Also loving more of the on the wrist and not to close shots. Consider shooting outdoor once in a while around 4 pm for some beautiful late afternoon lighting. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks so much. Yes, I’m still experimenting the outdoor shots to see what time works the best. I think early morning is the ideal but doesn’t quite seem to go with my routine. My balcony faces north, so sunset time doesn’t give me much exposure on the wrist 😞
Hafiz J Mehmood morning works just as well
Depending on where you are should avaoid shooting when the sun’s already high
Thanks for another brilliant review - your macro photography is incredible!
A full black bezel with the same steel and rose gold trimmings would be much more versatile in my opinion.
I got rid of my CHNR after a couple of months because the sickly brown clashed with everything in my mainly blue/grey/white wardrobe.
If you mainly wear Earth tones and tweed jackets it's Ok I guess.
Thanks so much and for the details :)
One of the best GMT ever. Only defect that Rolex should adopt the Yacht Master case also for GMT, leaving the maxi case size for the Submariner.
I love this piece. I love the solid gold model as well. one of my favourite, if not my favourite rolex models on the market.
Another great video with great macro shots!!!! Great minds think alike (I too have smurf, hulk, and rootbeer all picked them up last month)
Wow. What a collection my friend 👌
Thanks for watching :)
Hi mbg22. I too own the rootbeer. I have
had mine for nearly 2 years now. I am getting
an accuracy of 2.5 seconds fast per day, how about you? I ended up paying US 12000
Love your reviews! Extremely thorough and well thought out. What’s the music you use in the background of this review? Thanks!
My dear boy, you have exelent chanel here! Dont stop!
Great review and video and without question my favourite in the Rolex range at the moment.
Just got mine on Friday. The thing is awesome.
Wear and enjoy your watch in good health
@@scottlalonde2878 thx bud
incredible macro shots! completely agree that the everose gold definitely tones down the bling compared to yellow gold, making it more versatile as you state. your comment on the asymmetric bezel colour change at 9 o'clock position may be incorrect if you take into account the span of the '18' on the bezel. as always, love your work hafiz!
Thanks so much. I know what you mean regarding comment on asymmetrical transition. But it just put me off a bit seeing the colour change not at the centre of the text 8. Like you say, I could be wrong.
The color change occurs exactly at 6 and 9 o’clock as indicated on the dial as I see it. The font of the bezel numerals give the effect of misalignment but it is in aligned I believe! Great points about the dust and scratches. Rolex watches are mass produced and in my opinion two tone sports would be the highest I’d go in terms of price. After that, there are simply finer finished watches I’d much prefer. Rolex makes an amazing mass produced watch.
A perfectionist's review imbued with affection ! From the visual appeal and stunning photos to the informative, tender and loving words of narrative. Great video !!!
Thanks so much for your kind comment and feedback. I spend a great deal of time putting this together and in the absence of much following, comments like these is all that gets me going.
Thank you so much.
I love your channel Hafiz. Keep up the great reviews.
Thanks so much :)
never on my radar but it's seriously considering it!
Great review, waiting for mine in a week
Probably the most elegant, sports piece from Rolex imo. My fiance loves this watch too, she snags and wear it more often than I do. I'm more of a Navitimer on strap myself, so it's ok ;)
Salaam brother great review. Really enjoyed that. Great background music.
Great explanation of detail.
Please do more reviews on all types of watches.
That was really awesome. I will be looking forward to seeing more videos.
Walaikumasalam and thanks so much for feedback and support.
Stay tuned :)
And Eid Mubarak.
Marshallah hope can get this beauty but it’s over 20k correct
Picking up mine on Sat. A bit nervous about spending this type of money but life goes by so quick and maybe I'm a little shallow i cant wait to enjoy it...
Hi Hafiz,superb review!!just wondering how would you choose between the rootbeer and VC overseas dual time?
A really good looking watch! 👍👍👍
I own this watch and it is so much more beautiful in person and on wrist.
Excellent review my friend, exceeded my expectations. Well done.
This and the all gold bluesy are my favorite. 🙌🏼😍
I have both and yes they are the 2 best rolex for me with daytona oysterflex rose gold chocolat bezel
Great video! Beautiful watch!
Love this, second best two tone imho. DJII slate dial two tone is number for me....
Most would say that of the TT slate dial, the daytona is king.
Hey man the bezel color change does happen at the center of the 18, but is is at absolute center of the 18, meaning the number 1 takes less space physical space but has more blanc space than the 8, therefore shifting the central line... its a bit not too straight forward to conceive but it is balanced.
Wonderful production of a beautiful subject ... I'm on the list ... Patiently waiting ...
You got it?
I do :) ... Pictures , even Hafiz macro , do not do it justice ... It glows . A keeper ... Great movement too.
The color transition of course has to be in the middle of 18 and not the 8 like you you suggest. Otherwise, either the numbers would be off placed or the brown color would take up more space than half the bezel
Great Work, Hafiz
Wonderful review!
Thanks for a great video - I now have this watch and absolutely love it. I also like the shirt you’re wearing, which complements the watch perfectly. Could you let me have the make.
Many thanks,
I have this exact piece and love it. Had many people asking me about it when I wore it even in the office
U gotta be jok'in, Rolex is overhyped and overpriced, keep sing'in their praise's/ drive those price's UP!!
gary ban wang dinso it’s ok as Long as I love it and I
Can afford it .., life is too short to complain about things .. if you love it then buy and enjoy it .. that’s life isn’t it .. living it to the fullest
Not if you get one from China, paid $238 for mine LOL!
Ralfy Baby it’s hard to comment on you buying a fake Rolex
@@TheGuitarSpaSingapore why is that? It does everything a Rolex from Switzerland does. It tells time and it looks like a Rolex 😜
The most beautiful gmt to this day
Again awesome upload brother😎
Thanks so much :)
I got mine a week ago after 2 years and 3 months of waiting.
It’s my 2nd Rolex(I bought back in 2017 a Submariner Gold/Steel/Blue ceramic).
The past week when I picked up my new masterpiece directly from Rolex store, they have to take all stickers in my presence from the watch and send the stickers back to Rolex… that’s new for me, I did it personally with my Submariner at home when I came from the store, I don’t see reason for that new policy, but obviously I have to respect and understand those store changes.
One of my favourite Rolexes! but the most versatile 2-tone i think would be the new Cartier Santos. Sporty and a bit dressier
Right on the money g m t root beer 💯 love it
Thanks Hafiz for the comprehensive review. Does the new caliber have a quick date adjustment?
No. Sorry. I should have mentioned in the review. No quick date change unfortunately even in the new movement.
糖果原來感多學問又好睇又好味
Best watch videos on RUclips.
Great review! I would like to see one on the Breitling AB0162121C1S1
Superocean Heritage B01 Chronograph 44 Steel - Blackeye Blue
Nice video
Consider that the colour change at 18 is about exactly half way if you measure the 18 as 1 number i.e. inner edge of 1 to outer edge of 8
Sorry I meant outer edges of both
Hafiz you REALLY are the best! I can feel the tongue rolling off the ‘really’ ..... hahaha. Simply wonderful. (By the way, you made me buy the blue titanium AP offshore... what a watch.)
Hahah. Thanks so much my friend. And so good to know that was video was able to help. That blue titanium is jaw dropping piece. Many congrats on stunning acquisition
@@HafizJMehmood Thanks so much. Your passion always shines.
nakrop99 I also just bought the titanium blue offshore. What a beast of a watch. Be careful when putting it on and taking it off as the case is so heavy when u are locking in the strap or unlocking it as ive almost dropped it
Bud Dastud Great choice. Thanks for the tip. At least ‘heavy’ is titanium. Imagine if it was steel.....?
Really like your reviews, the macro shots are great! I would love to see you review the Milgauss with the clear glass.
Thanks so much, especially for the suggestion. Yes, I’ll get onto Milgauss very soon now :)
I got this as soon as it was released two years ago. Love it!
My favorite Rolex model a little bit to expensive today but one day I get one 😍😎
Rolex do not make a “Sports” watch range, they make a “Professional” range. Great camera work & interesting videos.
It's "does" brother
Rolex make both sports models and professional modes.
Hafiz J Mehmood Rolex has two lines of watches. Classic and professional
austin longenecker You sound like a newbie Austin so I will let you in on a little secret. The watch community calls the professional models ‘sports models’. Now you know
M Tbone In your past comment you said rolex has a sport and professional range. Sport and professional are the same, not two different lines of watches. The only two ranges are the pro and classic
Nice video. One comment though - isn't the color change at the "18" in the middle of the entire number "18" itself?
Beauty! It’s my best watch by a mile.
Hi watch fanatic. Nice to hear kind words since
I own one too, since almost 2 years now.
I am getting accuracy of +2.5sseconds per day.
How about you?. Would you advise that I get
it regulated? the service centre says that the
casebook screw grooves collect dust on frequent
opening of case for regulation, so I have not done
any regulation. Please share your views
@@manishdalamal9007 its rated +/- 2 secs/day so you are in range. I only wear this watch on the evenings out so not a daily for me. Enjoy man, you have great taste!
No question it’s a beautiful piece and at 40 mm the perfect case for me. I just wish the Rolex customer experience was not as terrible as it’s become. You would think, maybe that for a $15,500 watch Ads might show you a modicum of respect 😂
I managed to get one of these after only 3 weeks on a waiting list. Thanks COVID.....Just collected it today. It’s my first Rolex although I had a Batman on a waitlist , tried it on, but didn’t like it. I know people will say I should have bought it and sold it, but I’m afraid I don’t agree with that kind of thing. Anyhoo, after paying for it I was sweating and thinking I was an idiot and looking to offload it ASAP. I’ve been using a titanium omega PO 45mm for years and was worried the gmt would look like a toy. After collecting it, I forgot all of my reservations. It’s gorgeous, surprisingly light, looks and feels fabulous. I was intending to get an explorer 2 black face bu5 no5 so sure now. This is just amazing in person. Love the everose and am so pleased with it.
Hi Andrew. Congratulations on your new watch purchase. I too own one . I wanted to ask you what is the accuracy
you are getting ? I am getting +3seconds per day. I truly love this watch and bought it for Indian Rupees 890000.
How about you? what was the cost of your acquisition if I may ask? and the accuracy
@@manishdalamal9007 hi. It was lis5 price for U.K. as I got it new. Accuracy, well, it’s keeping time fairly well although I did note initially that there was some variance compared to my omega but to be honest it’s nothing drastic. Not worth writing about anyway ..haha. I still look a5 it ever6 da6 and think 😃wow, although already the gold is getting those hairline scratches . Hey ho, it’s to be expected if one wears it everyday.
What did you think was more comfortable between the gmt jubilee bracelet or oyster gmt bracelet? Thanks😊
I love this watch. I think it should be called the Black and Tan
i own this watch, since feb 2019 and it has been sent to rolex 4 times for regulation. keeping my fingers crossed as i am taking delivery tomm.
last i got 3.5 spd loss
I've had mine since early October. It ran about 5 seconds slow at first. Booooo. I only allowed it to stop running once since I got it. No winder, just normal wear. Its been running about 1 to 2 seconds fast per day now that's its settled in. No service
@@jeremydahm2124 Nice to hear. About my watch after regulation at RSC, it now runs at 2.5 to 3 seconds fast every day. Though I hear some people on youtube state that they get +0.2 seconds fast per day, I am happy with current accuracy in my watch.
So nice to hear from you. Also did you buy your watch from an AD and how much did it cost? Mine cost me Indian Rupees 891000 and how about the cost of your watch?
@@manishdalamal9007 I think it also depends on how we wear it. Mine is on wrist about 10 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week. I rarely if ever unscrew and wind it. Who knows. Looks the business though doesn't it? ; )
Can I know the name of the background music
Imagine this reff with jubilee two tone rose gold..Classic!
Very well spoken
After buying an oyster perpetual 34mm white dial for my wife, a week later my AD called me to pick this root beer up that came straight from Switzerland. This watch is the best Rolex for me😉
I’m lucky enough to own one ❤stunning 👍
Another video, your slowly becoming my favourite watch reviewer
Thanks so much. I’m so very glad to hear this :)
What is the approximate buying price for a GMT Master2 126711 CHNR in the United States?
Next to the two tone blue sub, this is the best two tone Rolex.
nice review
My Dream Watch . Hope to acquire this in 2 to 3 years time. 😂
Not sure how I feel about the quality control issues you discussed. Maybe I'm expecting more out of the brand considering the premium they fetch that attention to detail would be higher . Spending 15.000 dollars on a watch is alot of money sure the Root Beer is probably more that you would be getting a perfect watch with no dust or imperfections.
Proud owner of CHNR. Truly the best GMT. Pictures do no justice. However, you did a great job with the video quality. This is a watch one must see In person. Great job on your video!
Thanks so much. Many congrats on great acquisition.
Hafiz J Mehmood yes I bought this piece over its solid everose version because the steel compliments it in a way the pink gold does not. Congrats on your GMT. It’s my favorite line in rolex ties with the Skydweller.
Hi . What is the accuracy you are getting on a daily basis? Mine is +3 seconds per day, wish itwas like+1secnds
How about you? what is yours?
@@manishdalamal9007 mine is +1 seconds per day
mo doubt a very nice looking piece but with all these flaws i wonder how the grand seiko spring drive quality will match up ,forget the crown and the lion for a bit but really compare details and see what ends up on the wish list
I did review Grand Seiko springdrive very recently. Dare I say, you might be disappointed mate. Video here:
ruclips.net/video/tnhmkkgeoYs/видео.html
If they released this on Jubilee I'd happily wait on whatever 4 year waiting list BS the AD conjures up.
