Rank the GMT II - BLRO & BLNR
How would you rank the BLRO & the BLNR in different bracelets?
BLRO oyster > BLRO jubilee > BLNR oyster > BLNR jubilee |

The order you have it in is my preference. To each his own of course.

Based on my observation, most people prefer the oyster on the batman but the jubilee on the Pepsi.

For me:
BLNR jubilee > BLRO jubilee > BLNR oyster > BLRO oyster I know I’m in the minority as well; but that’s my ranking |

BLRO jubilee, BLNR jubilee, BLRO oyster, BLNR oyster
but I'd put the VTNR jubilee ahead of all of them. Fight me! |

Whatever you like. Your watch, your choice.
Aesthetics aside, if you have worn a GMT II on Jubilee you will know the difference. |

BLRO jubilee reigns supreme amongst the GMTs (not just SS!) IMO

Yes
It comes at the expense of robustness. While it may just be perception, the jubilee doesn’t feel as capable; the needs of the watches are different enough, though, that I find the sacrifice worth it. It’s the most comfortable watch I’ve ever owned. |

BLNR oyster > BLRO oyster > BLRO jubilee, that's it, I absolutely hate BLNR jubilee for some reason. Although, if I were actually buying one, I would choose a BLRO because BLNR is too similar to my Submariner.

BLNR Jubilee in brackets because I really don't fancy it at all. |

No sprite?
I have the Pepsi on a jubilee and the sprite on the oyster. Might consider a Batman or batgirl for a third GMT but really want the yellow gold for my third |
