Same here.

JBrown717 · 5 January 2019, 04:55 AM

New.

Fleegle · 5 January 2019, 04:58 AM

For me, the BLRO.

However for you, if that vintage watch has a lot of personal history and sentimental value then YMMV.

101031-28 · 5 January 2019, 05:13 AM

Both for different reasons. Can't pick one over the other, sorry

sillo · 5 January 2019, 05:47 AM

5 digit for me, but I do love the new one.

DoctorA · 5 January 2019, 07:16 AM

Ceramic with jubilee for me

trackntrail · 5 January 2019, 07:19 AM

Tough call as the BLRO is certainly a very nice piece...even on a Jubilee.
Being a vintage guy I’d have to opt for a NOS condition 16750 like this full set from 1985 that I wouldn’t trade for it’s newer cousin.

For history and aesthetics? The original. But for practical purposes I tend to buy newer watches versus vintage due to concerns about long-term serviceability and etc....

lamnyc · 5 January 2019, 08:21 AM

Blro

Brian Page · 5 January 2019, 08:33 AM

Yeah, that's a beauty, I've had 2 vintage pieces I have let go and shoot myself for it now, but the new ss BLRO is really fantastic and is my main baby right now. My sub is a 5 digit date and I love that too. My point is that it's two entirely different things. I love both

Old, but you have to add a jubilee.

HogwldFLTR · 5 January 2019, 08:44 AM

CHNR would be my choice.

ltmgeller · 5 January 2019, 08:49 AM

If I could only have 1 it’d be vintage because of the ability to change inserts. Since I have 16700 and a 16710 I’d absolutely go with the 126710BLRO. I LOVE PEPSI GMTS!!! I’m on 4 or 5 lists for the new one. I’ll wait patiently for the call.

boogiebot · 5 January 2019, 08:50 AM

Both watches are awesome and IMO they each represent the ERA of their times.

IMHO if I had to pick which I preferred the look of more then it would be the updated BLRO. To me it just looks refreshed. I love the ceramic bezel and larger case.

I like the BLRO. New materials, incredible timekeeping, 5 year warranty, 10 year service intervals.

Brian Page · 5 January 2019, 09:46 AM

I gotta say I'm really liking this one..

Gdaso · 5 January 2019, 04:27 PM

New version for me

inadeje · 5 January 2019, 04:30 PM

Original hands down

Stevec14 · 5 January 2019, 07:09 PM

I have the original with both bracelets and 3 bezels. It’s fantastic. So is the new one as I love the new jubilee and it’s more jewellery like appearance. If I can ever get one at a reasonable price, I will.

Given I own it, I’ll go for the 5 digit but I’d happily have both and believe they can co exist.

BLRO by a country mile.

mailman · 5 January 2019, 08:12 PM

1675 or 16750 matte no surround dial over either one

dukeystanez · 5 January 2019, 08:14 PM

newbie on this...

is the analolgy... 16600 vs 11660?

JRT · 5 January 2019, 08:29 PM

5-digit (vintage): like your grandmother;
6-digit (modern): like your GF or wife;
You can love both but behave in a different way. You would like to get along with your GF or wife everyday, but you want to see your GM once in a month or year.

mr_gray · 5 January 2019, 08:29 PM

i think 16610 v 116610 (sub date 5 digit versus sub C)
