Compared to the BLNR ... two different calibres, two different bracelets. Different watch indeed.

The lugs are much nicer now........

One thing Rolex did subtly was to reduce the width of the lugs. The overall look with the jubilee just looked spot on.

Thanks for pointing this out; I learned something new today. Yes, indeed that subtle adjustment changes the look. [nt]

My 6-year-old Y-M 16622 has the 'new' lugs. I chose it then because I preferred them to those on the 116622. They and yours are, to my eyes, more elegant. [nt]

The perfect GMT duo!

Right bracelets matched to the right watches imho. Side by side the difference in character is on display!

Agree. Thanks for looking. [nt]

The bracelet looks much nicer in terms of finish. Good catch! [nt]

Congrats! Will you go farther and consider the others, such as the Two Tone or the Meteorite? [nt]

Thanks Nico... after joining this community, I am also maturing. Thinking of pivoting to complications... I know it's a slippery slope, “maturing” is a good descriptor :0)

The Rootbeer and Meteorite dial are awesome to behold, don’t they?

The Meteorite is eating my brain. ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : January 27th, 2020-23:40

Can see why... that’s an incredible dial [nt]

And in the real, even better. [nt]
