SS GRNR on Jubilee





A SS Rolex that can go anywhere, do anything. And comfortable, to boot!

I’m liking the grey / black bezel -- it’s a nice “dose of different” without being colorful. It gets the job done in a cool, monochromatic way.

The hints of green on the dial and the GMT hand along with the jubilee bracelet give just enough pop.

Very grateful to be able to have added this one to the watchbox.

Nice watch. I tried one on recently and wanted it but didn’t want to wait, got the black/ blue on the spot.

I get it, the need for immediate gratification is real! :)

Congrats on the BLNR!

Congrats Stephen! I agree about the bezel and the green GMT hand; wonderful color combo and looks better in the metal for sure. I dig the jubilee bracelet too! I asked for this one on oyster only because my BLNR is already on jubilee so that way I can have both bracelets and swap them back and forth, but this configuration looks great. Is this your first jubilee bracelet? My BLNR is my first and I was shocked at how comfortable it is especially when wearing it all day.

Anyways congrats man!

I love this reference.

If I didn’t already have the all black GMT I would definitely hunt for this one.

Congrats!

Thanks very much! Not my first jubilee, but like many things, you can’t have too much jubilee in your life!

Thanks, and agreed - the black sub is cool and a great staple, but I like the little extra that this has.

And FWIW, it pairs well with a SS Black diver, too. I have it paired with a SD4K, and both can definitely coexist.

Thx again!

Yea when this one was released my immediate first thought is that it’ll be a nice substitute in the catalog for the all black that was discontinued.

Here’s what it looks like against a sub.

They feel way different despite people saying they look the same. Mostly it solves the issue I have with the sub: it sits too high on the wrist due to the thicker back case.

Nice to see the comparison pic. Thanks.

I’ll try to do the same soon with the GRNR and the SD4K.

You take amazing wrist shots. It looks great on you.
I found myself more attracted to the TT version as the yellow gold contrasts with black dial/bezel. However, I already have a GMT so hard for me to justify another one.
