The [[Reference:16753|16753]] is the two-tone Rolesor GMT-Master that carries the Root Beer idea out of the 1675/3 period and into the quick-set era. Rolesor is Rolex's long-running name for a mixed steel and yellow-gold construction, and on this reference it covers the case middle, bezel surround, crown, and the center link of the Jubilee bracelet. Mechanically the watch stays on the older GMT-Master side of the split rather than moving into the GMT-Master II, and it runs with both brown and black dials. The brown-and-gold Root Beer gets most of the attention, but the black-dial two-tone is a parallel production configuration and not a footnote. | The [[Reference:16753|16753]] is the two-tone Rolesor GMT-Master that carries the Root Beer idea out of the 1675/3 period and into the quick-set era.
