FYI: It’s the same blue hue ceramic on the YMII. Rolex really can do blue ceramic perfectly.


Love your photos!

Yes seriously. I really wanted to consolidate and only wore my GMT. It does start to itch again.

I understand this as if you take the option of other watches you own off the table, it greatly simplifies what watch you are wearing. That said, a Rolex like this is THE perfect one watch as it will do everything and look good doing it. You have to be comfortable with more accumulating daily wear marks simply because you have push this Rolex into full action mode in any circumstance.

When i started wearing watches years ago i was very carefull with my watches. Of course I still am very wrist concious but daily wear comes with the hobby and gives my GMT meteorite character.

Another reason why I think buying the opposite bracelet would extend the one and done mentality with this watch. You get to have an oyster or jubilee and lessen the wear and tear on each bracelet.

That's impressive and understandable - I'm wearing my BLNR right now and wondering what else am I chasing?
