Sorry , dun know why when I quoted B83 , the reply was to you instead ... ps ps ..

No worries and thanks bro. 👍

I used my annual Rolex quota from THG to get this piece haha. After witnessing its launch last year, I was smitten by the slimmer lugs and the more understated dial colour and hence asked THG for it. I only got it a few weeks ago.

And I love it. It is so nice that I'm considering the white gold blue bezel version too, but that one will have to wait if I decide to go for it.

B83's meteorite 126719BLRO is very nice too. 

Darn, there are many nice Rolex (John Mayer 116508, DD40 olive) and I only have 1 pass.

Yours will arrive soon I'm sure.

Usually dun have any issues getting those in demand Rolex such as batgirl / Daytona and SS Pepsi from THG except this meteorite Pepsi lo ... My sales at THG claims that their branch never had a single allocation for this watch since launched also ... true or not I really dun know man ..

never believed in paying premium over retail prices for Rolex so guess have to continue waiting until neck is long or when most heavy hitters gets their watch Liao then my turn ba....

Probably the meteorite dial is not so many. A friend of mine got his from Cortina last year (he is a whale), and he waited for about 1 year. I think you will get yours but just have to wait a little longer. The wait is painful but when it arrives it is bliss. 😅

I would like to ask all the sifus here a noob question. 

I am interested in the current Rolex Gmt Master II, particularly the Pepsi and Root Beer. From what I have seen on the resale market, the S/S Pepsi is asking for a higher price than the Root Beer, so does it make more sense (dollar wise) to get the TT than S/S Pepsi? 

I know that watch collector have been saying that the new TT do not live up to the name of Root Beer (some even gave it the nick of 'Expresso'), but since I am not buying it for investment, worth to take it over Pepsi? 

Please don't laugh at me. Your honest feedback is much appreciated. Thank you all the senior here.

@SGCM928 

since your not looking at resale value. You need to ask yourself Do you like precious metal or not? some just prefer SS over Gold, another group will feel you should definitely get the TT since its cheaper than a SS. It all boils down to which you desire more.

You should consider what watches you have currently as well, so adding another different one will give you more freedom to match.

Buy what you like, if you really like to root beer and its indeed "more worth" it than getting the pepsi from grey, why not?

I do like the root beer too but i got other priorities.

Hehehe .... Sorry, could not help it. Me bad!
