Still torn between the Eastwood Rootbeer or Polar for my last purchase for this year.

Love a T/T Jubilee

terrenceterrence,

What is the Eastwood Rootbeer?

The GMT-Master, possibly? Pardon me if I'm wrong. :-[

I only know that there is a rootbeer GMT master. Don't know about the eastwood bit. Will be good to learn something new.

Sure is! Although IMHO, a steel bracelet doesn't seem to do it justice. Something leather like in the pic looks much better. Just my opinion.  :thumbsup:

Does it originally come like that or is the jubilee two tone as well? Nice vintage btw. Love the texture on the dial.

hellkite, i got this pre-loved grail without the original TT jubilee bracelet, only came with an aftermarket leather strap. currently attached it with a genuine pre-loved SS jubilee bracelet while i'm still looking for genuine TT jubilee bracelet. thanks for the compliment.  :Cheers:

Nope, 1 finger gap. Hand twisted to try to prevent reflection from the sun (excuse for fat hands).

Since you got it back... any chance of telling us what happened to the watch earlier?
