We receive many requests for the root beer GMTs. Most requests are for examples with nice condition original bracelets. This is typically a hard request to fill as bracelets are often very stretched out or later replacements. The current example is properly marked 62523H14 on the clasp and with date code D corresponding to a production date from 1979. Both the condition of the case, dial, hands, bezel insert, and movement, and finally the period correct original bracelet all contribute to this being a great example for any collector or enthusiast.
