New watch

Have wanted to add this to my collection since its release in 2018 and after years of waiting, I decided to go gray this week and picked up an unworn 2023 GMT Master II 126710BLRO.

Feels great to finally have this in the collection & on wrist.

Congratulations. Do you prefer this Jubilee over the Oyster?

Thanks Brian, I have to say that I've enjoyed your wrist shots with the BLRO, and these certainly helped me in my decision making when considering this vs a 5 digit.

Thanks & yeah - on the BLRO I prefer the jubilee bracelet. I also have a few other models on Oyster bracelets, so adds more variety to my collection too.

I might try and add an Oyster bracelet in the future, but going to enjoy on jubilee for now!

Congratulations, that’s an awesome GMT and so difficult to get at an AD, and worth the premium IMHO.
