Saw the 16710GRNR today
Finally saw the GRNR in person today at the AD, it’s really great on jubilee. I would say the grey looks more creamy in person. I’m not a jubilee guy but i think i might get one.

126710 GRNR … when I saw it in person I liked it, would be good certain times, but not enough to add to my collection …

I had the GRNR but let it go shortly after purchase. It was more an impulse purchase since my AD offered it to me. I’m at a stage with my collection that I need historical significance to play a role and the GRNR just doesn’t have it IMHO. I cannot figure why Rolex decided to introduce a brand new bezel variant instead of reincarnating the RONR (aka Coke) - missed opportunity or cunning planning? Don’t get me wrong, the GRNR is a nice monochromatic twist, but at this late stage in my collecting journey I just can’t justify watches as a lasting collection addition unless they have got some reference history.

It’s a stealthy option in the Rolex GMT line. If you like it I’d go for it.
I was never a jubilee fan until I owned one, now I’m converted |

I like it. If you don’t have a sub and want a GMT it’s a great option.

The bezel is much better in person than in pictures. Great option.

I had a chance to compare and try on both the Oyster and Jubilee versions at the same time. They had both on display in exhibition pieces. Definitely a nice looking ref and would make a great daily. However, I wasn't excited enough to really want one that bad or put my name down for it. However, if both of those suddenly became available at that moment, I probably would have walked out with the Jubilee.
