Checking in after a long while, and I bought a new friend with me....

Hey guys, been a long while since I posted on here but I just had to share some pictures of the latest arrival which came yesterday.

Aaaand it's so far so good, it makes a nice alternative option to the BLNR. The feeling on the wrist is somehow quite different (is it weighted slightly differently? Is it because it's new and the BLNR is worn in? Am I just imagining it? Who knows).

Having said that though, part of me feels that the Jubilee doesn't quite suit this generation of GMTII as it did the ones of say 10-15 years ago and it's because of this that, in my opinion, the BLNR remains the superior watch.

Congratulations! It's such a good watch and one of my alltime favorites,
The Jubilee wears very different from the Oyster. Lighter, thinner and more breathable.

Congrats on the BLRO! I am waiting til I see the watch in person before I judge whether or not I think the jubilee is better on the GMT from 10-15 years ago, in pictures I would agree.

Nice pair, the bezel font looks much bigger on the BLRO, not noticed before.

Congrats and welcome back. For me it is the exact opposite and haven't even wanted to wear my BLNR once since getting the BLRO. The jubilee to me is incredible and much prefer it to oyster on BLNR. Such a great change up so to each his own!

Outstanding pair of GMTs! Very same and very different watches but equally stunning.
