Got the text for a GMT!
I've been patiently waiting for a BLRO for close to two years, and as we all know, they have only become harder and harder to get during that time. But, during a recent visit to my AD I tried on a few pieces including a Sub LV and the GRNR GMT - both of which I ended up liking a lot more than I thought I would. My SA knows I've been after a BLRO, but was honest, and did let me know it was very unlikely that would happen by the end of this year, but if I wanted the Sub or any other GMT, she could make that happen soon. A couple weeks later she called with an available Sub LV. I thought about it overnight, but decided to wait for a GMT. I love the green, but already have a 116610LN Sub date, and felt I would rather have a GMT on Jubilee instead of a second Submariner. Two weeks later she texted that the GRNR was available. When I was picking it up I asked for one of the green service pouches just to have for when I travel, but was told they only see those for service and didn't have any available. But, she gave me the leather pouch shown below instead, which is much nicer. Overall, I'm thrilled with the watch and overall service from my AD.

This is a great choice. My GMT "want" is the Root Beer, but honestly, I've been liking this one more and more, so I don't know what I want now!

Great looking on Jubilee. A likely a bit more versatile based on muted colors. Enjoy!

Great watch. Congrats!
The single watch leather pouch you got is vastly superior to the green one. I have two of two in earlier standard brown leather and two (2-watch) rolls in the leather color you got. Absolutely top top tier product! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I saw that watch in person on my last Vegas trip. I thought it looked kind of monotone in pictures but up close the contrasting colors stand out. Still prefer my BLRO but that would be my second choice.

Nice choice! I think the Jubilee works with the subtle black/gray bezel really well. Enjoy it!

Congratulations! Any GMT on a jubilee is stunning. I own a BLRO from the AD but as a CPO and I think it was totally worth it

I am not a fan of the Jubilee bracelet but I feel like the only choice for the GRNR is that bracelet. Congratulations on a fantastic watch!
