GMT Jubilee discontinued

Apparently a rumor is now around that the GMT II will go back to an oyster bracelet, regardless if they add the Coke or get rid of the Pepsi. Marc Goldberg's latest video went over it.

Thoughts from the community? Personally I don't care/mind but wonder if the grey market will adjust accordingly for those who haven't gotten one yet.

Rolex tends not to flip flop so quickly and the jubilee makes sense for a pilot watch and to separate it more from the submariner family.

The oyster fits better as jubilee is more dressy. What they might do is offer both. Which would be a winner in my books.

I agree 100%. That’s what they used to do way back in the day I believe.

Just stop watching his videos.
Even if his source is correct he’s still a drooling goober and is seeking attention... there’s much better content out there.

The perfect answer would be to offer it with a CHOICE of bracelet. But Rolex knows best and they would never allow that.

But they used to offer it as an option, I don’t understand why they don’t do that again.

It's only been offered on the BRLO for 4 years and 2 years on the BLNR. Can't see them discontinuing them after such a short period of time.

Plus Rolex wants to start seperatng the GMT and Sub in looks hence the case sizes are different.

Exactlly. Can't wait for April 7 to come and go so we can wildly speculate on the next "thing".

If it is discontinued, I am willing to bet there will be at least 200 threads about its value...

Howdy,

Agreed. Heck, I miss the good old days when we obsessed about the under-magnification of our cyclops and wether we could get 10% off on stainless or 20% off on a PM model.

Take care,

Wondering why the teaser ends with a shot of an Oysterlock clasp since the Explorer II already has it. To me makes sense that it is teasing something other than status quo, perhaps with Oyster bracelet options for another model, like the GMT.

The speculation and hype that always transpire during the 5 days from teaser to reveal are always a hoot, often more fun than the actual reveal itself. Anyhoo just a couple more days and we will know either way.

Unlikely to discontinue the jubilee gmt which are not even 5 yrs in production. No hurry to do so as there are still many suckers around to milk their monies for another few years. Seriously I don't think there will be huge release for 2021 except the new explorer series or maybe the AK or Milgauss will be discontinued.

if they really release a new GMT master 2, then the teaser on the rolex website should be the GMT instead, not the explorer 2.

Also agreed - I don’t think the final clip of the promo video clasp has anything to do with a GMT personally BUT if for some reason a new GMT on oyster is released, I don’t see the jubilee going anywhere

Who talked about a new GMT? Just a bracelet change, same model number. It happened in the past with the 5-digit model.
