Incoming…

Thrilled to add this Sprite to the collection! I was going back and forth between a Starbucks and Sprite. Ultimately, since I have a Sub w/ Date, I went for the Sprite… also, I’m a Lefty, so I had to!

I was equally torn between Oyster & Jubilee. I have never been a fan or thought I would be a fan of a jubilee, but wow… I am so glad I went this route, I love the feel and look!

Great watch! That's the top of my list. I'm righty and would wear this on my right like you are. Sometimes on my left.

Huge congrats! I too prefer jubilee over pcl oyster for comfort, looks, smudges, and hairlines. I too own this one and am a lefty. You're wearing on your left wrist though? Left handers usually wear on right wrist, so in this case the crown is operated by left hand. Enjoy in good health.

i’ve always worn watches on my left wrist. to me, this watch makes sense with the crown on the left side with wearing it on my left wrist.

I sorta think it makes more sense to wear a LHD on the left. With the crown facing away from the wrist. The crown gets in the way esp if you wear gloves or move your wrist back.

Nice! Can’t wait for mine and I’ll wear it on the left wrist also. In total agreement that the crown is better out of the way.

Congratulations! I too became a fan of Jubilee bracelets. I own a couple of each bracelets on my various watches and while all 3 are great, the Jubilee and Oyster flex are probably my favorite…
Enjoy!

Congrats. Jubilee on any GMT >>>>>> Oyster, IMO. I know plenty disagree. I keep hoping the CHNR gets released on jubilee. I was hopeful this year, given last year’s yellow gold jubilee release.
