Will the next change to the BLRO be an oyster bracelet?

AJMarcus · 14 December 2019, 09:19 AM

I don’t think so. It’s perfect the way it is. It won’t be changed. More likely an all black GMT on a jubilee perhaps next year. It’s clear Rolex has decided to put the Jubilee on the GMT models.

I didnt know how much I'd like it but once I got one I can't imagine it on a different band. I love the jubilee. Plus the polished center part of the clasp is a scratch magnet, I can't imagine the whole band picking up dings like that.

Doubtful.

I think the jubilee is here to stay on the SS GMT's

rmlovett1 · 14 December 2019, 11:28 AM

Just for the PM’s I’d say.

The jubilee is ridiculously easy to win people (yours truly included) over. I doubt we'll see changes.

If I may be so bold: the GMT is a pretty well-executed implementation of what it's designed to be. Unless Rolex wants to add features to the movement, there's not much more to be done- with the exception of maybe stronger lume.

I've noticed that the BLRO's lume does indeed last a long time (well above 8 hours for me), but its luminosity drops from when you first charge it to about 15-20 minutes before tapering off all night.

I've already got one

I like it on jubilee. But maybe Rolex would get a lot of brownie points if they let the consumer pick and choose

Rado63 · 14 December 2019, 02:18 PM

My thoughts are it stays on the jubilee for the model run.

Seibei · 14 December 2019, 02:27 PM

Never mind, oyster bracelet ones should still be available in as new condition.

No, they just changed the line over to the jubilee and I couldn’t be happier about them doing so.

Ditto this ^^^

The jubilee is one of the features that makes it special IMO

Rolex is evolutionary. The super Jubilee is/will be the next theme from Rolex for a long time. It made me a believer on many levels.
