New Job, New Watch (BLNR)

I'm one of the fortunate ones who wasn't too affected by the pandemic- I kept my job and pay and my loved ones are all healthy.

Unfortunately, career advancement wasn't forthcoming and I made the switch earlier this year to a better job and better pay. Contrary to the trend from my fellow millennials I had been fairly loyal to my prior job (6 years vs 1-2) so this was a huge deal for me. My SA was able to hook me up with a new watch to celebrate.

Call it a BLNR, call it a batman, call it a GMT Master II- it's now mine

Thanks for the warm reception. Truly what pushed it over the edge is the oyster bracelet. I saw the jubilee on a Pepsi in person and I thought that looked great as well but overall I just prefer the oyster on this model.
