Rank the GMT II - BLRO & BLNR

[worldofoyster]

How would you rank the BLRO & the BLNR in different bracelets?

BLRO oyster > BLRO jubilee > BLNR oyster > BLNR jubilee

[Cassian739]

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

So funny, when the BLRO was first released on jubilee, this forum was in an uproar. Everyone hated it. 5yrs later, everyone prefers it on jubilee

I don’t remember it that way at all. When the BLRO teaser video dropped a few days before Basel in March 2018, it was pretty obvious it was a blue/red bezel and that a “retro” Jubilee was part of the package. As soon as I saw it I considered that bracelet to be a major part of its image.
In many ways it could be argued that the SS BLRO started the hype era. The ceramic Daytona two years earlier only continued its already given hard to get status, the BLRO created instant wait lists worldwide. Of course there’s always some contrarians here but seemed like it immediately became the It watch here.
Funny too, it continues to be arguably one of the hardest watches to get from an AD despite a constant clamor from some folks saying they hate the bezel color/the bracelet, etc. Those people will never buy one anyway.

I definitely remember the uproar. Most wanted Oyster at the time but it was on the WG Pepsi only. I personally prefer the Pepsi on Oyster and remember how excited I, and others were, when it was finally released on Oyster.

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

1. BLRO Oyster

2. BLRO Jubilee

3. BLNR Oyster

4. BLNR Jubilee

While debating like adults is fun, am not one to 'end' a debate here on TRF... tho was a master debater in high school.

The Rubber B blue strap brings out the fun side of Batman imho.

Though the 'knock-on' effect of the above is that the Sub was on black rubber... is now back on the bracelet.

For me:

BLNR jubilee > BLRO jubilee > BLNR oyster > BLRO oyster

I know I’m in the minority as well; but that’s my ranking
