Ceramic choice > 116710 Blnr. I'm biased.

My ideal would be a BLNR on Oyster with the 3285. Imo the BLNR bezel is most modern looking of the GMTs as is the Oyster bracelet, so for a 6 digit GMT those are my preference.

The Battle of the GMTs

116710LN > 16710 > BLNR
I liked a jubilee on my 90s 16710, but not on the new cases. The proportions aren’t right to me. I’ve always had trouble with the older plexiglass models as I’m too hard on my watches.

Exactly. The real best is either the pepsi mkIII or a new Coke on oyster.

The only one I have. I wouldn’t mind owning one of each but availability and budget is not in my favour.

BLNR on oyster for me. It looks so rad. Don't get me wrong, the BLRO on either oyster or jubilee is lovely & I wouldn't kick either out of bed, but the Batman gets the nod from me.

Can you show me a couple wrist shots of the black GMTII with the rubber B with green line?

I have the RubberB with green line for my Milgauss and I have the black GMTII but want to see it before I put the rubberB on the GMT.

Thanks in advance!

You have the same band on another watch but want me to model shots for you?! Why not change the band yourself and see it on your own wrist?

Haha, because it’s very stressful to change the band and I’m not sure if it will look good. It takes me about half hour to change and risk scratching the lugs.

If you had any available wrist shots that would’ve been easy, but if you don’t that’s OK.

Cheers.

I'm surprised at the performance of the CHNR. I expected it to do better. anybody has any views on this. Look at this poll, it's doing great one to one against BLNR. Do you think the effect of the overwhelming BLRO popularity has something to do with this.
