Yes! I love it.

ETA so much so it made me go and change to my only green watch.

There was one for sale on TZ-UK recently that went for low £6k. It was an absolute steal at that price but don’t really need two of them! I’m hoping it gets discontinued and becomes the next Hulk.

And the cringey ‘steering wheel’ posed shot….

It's a fantastic watch.

Regardless of that, I've been looking at a lot of new Rolex's and tbh, the Air King and Explorer are my picks. The Bloodhound reference is great, and it's unique IMO

For me it’s because they’re the less obvious choice, although I do like the Bloodhound link (even though it was a failure) and the Exp 1 is a classic.

I keep looking at Turnographs and wonder why they never caught on. I really do like them and can see me trying one in the near future.

These are lovely! I’d be so worried about being targeted for it that I’d never wear one in public, though. They’re not exactly subtle!
Funnily enough, I'm in your camp of thinking. I'm only wearing it around the house. Only place I felt safe to wear something like this is HK, which I haven't been to in near 2years.

Regarding the Rootbeer, it's actually more subtle that you think. Put all the modern GMTs together in a line and it's the one that's least blingy.
Where do you lot live?! lol

Mate had one, just didn't look right in the 36mm size for some reason. Would absolutely work on the modern 41mm however, if Rolex ever saw fit to bring it back.

That watch has a level of cool miles above anything recently posted. Keep it.

Nice, I love B&R stuff smile and the 46mm versions are rare beasts!

I regret not picking up a 01-92 when I saw one for half-price in a clearout sale years ago now, and the 'thin' minutes hand now on the 03-92 (as opposed to the original 'sword'(?) hands for both minutes and hours) does not appeal!


EDIT: Wait - your favourite B&R?

What other ones do you own?! smile

Is this the one that was found in a draw? It’s superb.
