Incoming: Rolex GMT-MASTER II Yellow Gold Jubilee 126718GRNR

Just picked up the YG GMT-Master II in YG with the Jubilee. This is the third time I have owned this watch and I really like it. Why three times, well the answer is someone offered me more money than I had in the watch twice before and I moved it along. This time, maybe not, at least for a bit. Not a lot to say except that the watch is beautiful and the jubilee bracelet is amazing. I might get a YG Sky-Dweller on Jubilee as a next but for now this will work. I traded a Rolex Day Date II in YG and some cash for this watch from DavidSW. As always, a pleasure to deal with and the watch was here the next day at 0930. I have had a big week with the watch buying/trading as I have picked up the YG GMT, a SS Sky-Dweller in mint green and a Pink Tudor Chrono. Things just worked out that way and now I will enjoy the wear for a bit.

Congrats William. I think the bracelet is my favorite part about this watch. The jubilee is a stunner. Yeah it's been a busy month for you buddy!

That bezel works so well. Just enough contrast but still blends together, but still functional. In my opinion I think it works slightly better on the two-tone, but on solid gold it definitely has an aesthetic all its own. Well-found!

Congrats!

That GMT Master has become one of my favorite watches. I think it's the Jubilee bracelet for me. Gives the watch a pop that the Oyster bracelet can't match. Enjoy it, again!

This is amazing William. I have been toying with the idea of adding this exact one for the last week. I tried it on at the Rolex boutique in Rome Airport last week and this has been on my mind since. I have the two tone version of this and may use that as my trade bait.
Post more pics please! Have you work this with formal attire?

Big move. The YG GMT is super sharp. Had one on the wrist when they first were available. Amazing trio to gain in a few days.

Congratulations on an excellent collection. My view having picked up a BLNR on Jubilee recently, your watches here are a “comfortable” trio with those bracelets!

Love this model, and while better is a loaded word, I DO think the TT GMT Jubilee IS the best looking TT model Rolex makes. Gorgeous in both flavors!

Thank you for the kind words. I will get some more pictures. I have not worn it yet with formal attire but am sure it will work.

I absolutely love my YG GMT GRNR, especially the weight and wear of the watch. This is a special occasion wearing watch for me. Nice trifecta you got going on there, also love the mint dial on Sky D!

Enjoy!

That's odd OP because from the newer Rolex watches the only two I like are the one you just bought and the one you mentioned, SKy D YG jubilee.
