What would you do?

Jubilee BLNR tomorrow or BLRO by the end of the year? I can pick only one.

BLRO by the end of the year! It’s a beautiful timepiece.

But, yeah, go try on the BLNR and see what you think. I love my original oyster BLNR, but kinda what you like best.

Batgirl vs. the pink/purple

Joking aside, I would say one in the hand > one in the bush

For me, it would be the BLRO.
For you, might be the BLNR, only you know.

I personally like the BLRO better, but not by all that much. I know I'll catch some heat for saying this, but I'd go bird in the hand here. Meaning, get the BLNR Tomorrow, stare at it for a week or so and if you don't fall in love, trade it to a trusted seller for a brand new condition BLRO. At today's rates, you stand to make a little money, which is not what this is or should be about, but my point is, in todays market you can't lose.

I know your AD might not be thrilled with the move but there's no guarantees you'll even get the BLRO by the end of the year and at the end of the day it's your property to do with as you please.

I'd take the free trial here. You could probably even wear it for a while and assuming you keep it mint, make a straight trade for a BLRO.

The BLNR is more flashy with the jubilee bracelet since it reflects more light but in some ways more subtle because it has black on the bezel. If you don't have their new jubilee then I'd go for that. I still prefer the old Pepsi bezels because they more closely resemble what I think of a Pan Am pilot wearing.

I would wait and get the BLRO. That combo is nicer than the current BLNR

I would go with the BLRO, but it's your wrist. If you love the BLNR, done deal. Pick it up and post an incoming tomorrow. If you like the BLRO, don't settle because you can get one sooner than later.

What would you do?

I'd pick the BLRO only if you know for a fact that you'll get one. If not then I'd definitely go for the BLNR.

Thanks everyone. I was able to try both today and I was undecided. I think this is good perspective - if I could have walked away with either one today I think I would have taken the BLRO. I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m used to seeing the Batman on oyster but I think the BLRO suits the jubilee better. I have tonight to sleep on it.
