[Rolex GMT-Master II 126711CHNR] Finally, my dream watch
This one has a bit of a story behind it.
A few months after buying my first Rolex in 2021, an Explorer 36, I stopped by the AD to thank the VIP customer manager who had helped make sure the Explorer was ready in time for my wedding. I had originally requested it about six months earlier, so having it there for such an important moment meant a lot to me.
We sat down for a coffee and, during the conversation, he casually asked me:
“So, what’s your dream watch?”
Without hesitation: “The Root Beer.”
That was it. Just a conversation.
About two months later my phone rang.
“I have your dream watch ready for you.”
:-O
And that’s how I finally ended up with the watch I had admired for years, the Rolex GMT-Master II 126711CHNR “Root Beer.”
It combines Oystersteel and Everose gold with the black and brown Cerachrom bezel, and inside is Rolex’s automatic calibre 3285, with approximately 70 hours of power reserve and an independently adjustable local hour hand.
There are watches you buy because you like them, and then there are watches that somehow become part of your own story.
This one definitely belongs to the second category.
