From what I have gathered, it seems the BLRO is more preferable on this site and perhaps within watch enthusiasts. However, the BLNR seems to be much more popular among the average consumer. It has more mass appeal and as my local watchfinder put it, everyone asks for "the batman". The BLRO appears slightly rarer though, which is likely the reason for the slight premium.

I think I was previously in the minority that preferred the BLNR on Jubilee, and while he confirmed to me that the Jubilee will soon be orderable, the Oyster is really growing on me.

Very nice

The BLNR is awesome. Congratulations. Jubilee or Oyster? Hard. Personally, FWIW, jubilee adds a touch more visual on a dark day, when the blue looks too dark. Either one, though, is just a lifelong keeper. Enjoy in good health. (Was it Pickles who came up with the ‘in good health’ adjunct? It’s a nice one.).

Congrats. I was in the same boat, I was hoping for the BLRO but got the BLNR instead. I'm very happy with my BLNR!!

I always thought I would refer the BLRO over the BLNR, but the more I think about it, I'm not crazy about the ceramic Pepsi colors. I would always compare them to the 5 digit Pepsi aluminum bezel colors (which I greatly prefer)... So the BLRN is it's own thing and likely to be my choice if I were to consider a current GMT... on Jubilee.

Well done, and congrats.

Congrats, I love this watch as I have a Pepsi in jubilee, but I must say the oyster band looks really nice! Enjoy!

Congrats! I put a deposit down for the jubilee but ended up with an Oyster. Don't regret it at all. Really enjoy the Oyster and now debating to get a jubilee (whenever we're able to).
