If this came in SS, would you prefer it to the new Pepsi?

At first glance, it looks like a Coke bezel to me......maybe I should start a new thread

The new "oystersteel" GMT on jubilee is a pass for me. 1) the bezel colors still aren't right 2) I will never wear an Old Man jubilee bracelet. So I guess my wallet thanks Rolex?

It's not bad, but I'm not wowed by it either. I'm happy with my 16710 and BLNR. I may add it one day as I love GMTs, but not gonna go crazy on a list or paying premiums secondary. If it was on an oyster, it may have changed things for me.

To those who like it, good luck navigating the lists for a few years. I'm looking forward to the future incomings.

The website has already updated with the new line up. The BLNR has not been discontinued.

I agree, the jubilee bracelet doesn't do it for me, I think it takes away from the sport look. It now looks like the watch is confused between sport watch and dressy watch. I will stick with the Oyster bracelet on my Batman

Love it, I would have prefered a coke, but I don’t Have a Pepsi and I have been thinking about getting the white gold blro for a while, but I generally don’t like gold and never liked the Batman. This is great. I just texted my AD. Getting one for sure. I also love the rose gold, really nice. Well done Rolex.

I presume the old SS oyster bracelet will be a different fitting to this Jubilee??

The jubilee look is not for everyone I must admit, this design was first introduced with the Datejust back in 1945. I think the new bracelet make the GMT look to busy especially with all the numbers on the bezel. I would have to take a look up close for a final determination on whether I like it or not.
I am in contact with my AD as well, good question, can the jubilee be swapped with the oyster???

And you'll probably probably be able to pick up the WG black dial pespi used for $15-$19K soon.

Yep. BLNR is going to take a hit as well whether people want to admit it or not.

A new plus with the new GMTs, they now come with the new 3285 movement with 70 hr power reserve.

I agree with this. As currently styled it's no longer a "one watch" option. Too fussy without an oyster bracelet and the Pepsi bezel ... those colors in bright light just look terrible.

Like it, but would have liked an option for oyster bracelet. I think the root beer is gorgeous! I also like the WG blue dial. So far a few configurations speak to me. Need to try on the jubilee to see if I like it or not.

Makes me wonder if that will be the case though, there's still a big demand for the BLNR. I see prices on the grey market for up to 12k, and with no papers and box for 9k +. We shall see, only time will tell.

I also prefer the black dial.

Don’t know why people are so excited about the SS BLRO. They keep saying the BLRO ceramic bezel is ugly.

I just received word from my AD, we will not be able to swap the jubilee bracelet with the oyster. I am not sure whether if it's because it will not fit or Rolex will not swap it for us on demand. Question still remain on that front.
