The jubilee is a big reason I love it! Bracelet stretch comes from the stress placed on the pins, and Rolex has begun to use ceramic “sheaths” on the pins of their PM bracelets to protect against it. So I suspect stretch will be no problem at all here. And, IMHO, the solid YG jubilee — with the two-tone/black-gray bezel — is stunning. A good thing for Rolex and the Rolex world that different eyes behold different things.

This is a beauty and the best of the recent Rolex release imo…but small changes would make it much better.

The lugs still need to be addressed (thinned down) if paired with the jubilee though. It’s just not visually proportional and it’s too top heavy. The oyster at least balances it out a little….visually and weight-wise.

Not a Rolex, but was looking at a Grand Seiko once. AD saw my hesitation than had the watch specialist size it for my wrist. I knew immediately I’d never buy from them!

BTW… I love the looks of that GMT.

Back in the day (2018) when watches were in display cases, we all tried on watches that were eventually sold. It’s not a big deal imo. The stickers are still on them.

The AD probably promised this watch to a grey dealer so it’s a mute point

Stunning time piece indeed, thanks for sharing OP.

lovely! good reason for me to post a pic...

I really like it. I’ve asked my dealer to get me on a wait list for it.

Absolute toss letting a watch already sold (or is it ? ) be handled by all and sundry.

Just like the display models.

Aargh

Would also love to see your Daytona on leather!

Pocked this up a few weeks ago. The new GMT seemed more subtle that the Daytona.

Great looking piece.

That watch in unbelievable. I think it’s a stunner. Going to work hard and try to save up for that one in the next few years. I’m so glad they did an all PM jubilee. Lusting after a solid gold GMT on a jubilee as a kid is what got me into this crazy hobby.

Looks good to me

[TimekeeperED54]

That is a beautiful piece, I love it.

Like the old school Jordans…in a bad way.

I tried it the other day it looks really nice. Clasp took up a fair bit of the bracelet. Very comfortable as expected.

You can barely notice the difference in colour in the bezel it may aswell just be all black. And would probably be better if it was.

I could be persuaded, but only because I own most of the others :)

Absolutely beautiful.

I've generally been a fan of the Daytona on rubber.

But ... this croc has me intrigued. I asked an AD last week whether they still make croc straps for the 116518 and they do.

Might just pick one up.

Great photo. It really shows the contrast in the grey to black bezel. If I had the option, which I don't, I would get an all-black bezel.

Curious what you’re hoping to get
