Came across a Gold Root Beer.

No guys I do not have any info on it other then it was on a fantastic bracelet and it was 13K.
It was like this one from Bob's but it had a normal Root-beer dial not a nipple dial.

Also I noticed that the bezel was the two tone one not the one from Bobs.

What do you guys think. I know, I know I need more info but if it's a steel I might have to try and jump on it. It needs to be cleaned and I'd haggle. I like it but god damn it's an ugly watch.

Is it the Concorde with the baton hands?

What condition is the case?

If it is fugly, sounds like you want to flip it. Don't think I'd want to have that money tied up in it...may be hard to resell

That would be my concern too.

Definitely will need to see some pictures, but if it's a decent condition 16758 or 16718 then that's a good price. If it's a 1675/8 with a later service dial it's still a good price since you say it has the solid gold bracelet as well. These are very niche pieces though, you would need to be patient if you were looking to flip it.

I'd wear the ugly guy but I also woudn't pay full price. They would need to come down.
