GRNR for me. The jubilee bracelet is incredible and the yellow gold is truly a classic look.

Still prefer the YG but I’d live to see this as well.

Hey Bri, not too much. Mainly I wasn't feeling the Aqua any more so sold that and bought a few of these TT Rolexes which I find I really love, never owned any before but find them a nice balance of practical and luxurious. How about you, any new additions this last year?

Actually earlier this year I got really into RM, God forgive me, and I was seriously thinking of selling off a couple of PPs and APs to make an 055 happen, but thankfully the feeling passed, I'm not a 1 or 2 watch man anymore no matter how nice the piece is, prefer to have at least 6 or 7.

The gold/black and rose gold/brown both look great.
I love both and I wouldn't hesitate to have either one!

So you still have your beautiful PP 5711R?

I hope you don’t mind me saying this … but I’m glad you snapped out of that RM thought

Me, I’m holding steady. I added a Silver Snoopy about 3 weeks ago. Otherwise I’ve got the same core group: BLRO jubilee, Submariner, 321 Ed White.

Yeah, I really disliked them for so long then saw one on a friend of mine and that sort of got me hooked in for a little while, if the 055 wasn't priced quite so highly and I could have kept the Naut then maybe, still really like the brand tho.

So as I was tempted by the dark side of RM have you still not been tempted by the dark side of PM?

I preferred and bought the CHNR. But if I were offered the GRNR, I'd definitely buy it as well.

If CHNR was offered on a jubilee there would be no debate at all. :) this is more now in the area of bracelet prefference based decision.

Personally prefer the CHNR. I purchased one a couple days ago from my local boutique and I'm over the moon with it.

They’re both great but ultimately I have a preference towards YG and wanted to try the jubilee, which I’m very glad I did.

It was as well a very hard decision for me, but at the end I went for the CHNR. Love it.

CHNR. I like the tones of the RG and the sportier look.
