While most collectors and enthusiast might make a bee-line for the Pepsi variety, the less obvious- and potentially better value- are two toned options. Enter the 'Root Beer'. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe star of the show is this dial. To adequately describe the brown 'tiger's eye' dial in words is a challenging task. The sunburst brown is dynamic and radiant- Changing shades of rich auburn dance with each ray of light that touches it.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 39mm unpolished Oyster case comes with a solid link two tone jubilee bracelet, with 18k yellow gold center links.

The combination of steel and gold perfectly encapsulated the preppy stye that prevailed in that period. Moreover, this shifted Rolex into the luxury sphere, which established an upward sales trend that infused much needed cash flow into the manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eVisually and technically, the 16753 stands out from other iterations of the GMT-Master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe glossy dial and colorful bezel give the watch a sleek appearance that’s magnified by the gold detailing on the crown, bezel, bracelet and handset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBut the improvements to the 16753 wasn't only skin deep—a new movement was also fitted, which had hacking capabilities as well as a quickset date, one of the first applications of this feature in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSleek\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efunctional, the 16753 \"Root Beer\" GMT makes a quirky but delightful choice for the sophisticated and playful traveler.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":28336280993879,"sku":null,"price":10900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/LTxM_zoC.jpeg?v=1557938203","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/rolex-gmt-two-tone-root-beer-as03186","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
