And here I was going to say something nice about Paris, the last place my wife and I visited before all this. I'm not playing the victim, but that's funny. You ask a question of our awareness level and when someone answers, you criticize. Ok, that's your deal. No problem. Bonne chance mon ami

I do not deiced if a nickname is stupid the masses do and they have voted as well as discussed this ad nauseam! Simply do a search for batgirl and you can learn all about the past discussions here that have taken place for may years.
Also, I invite you to VOTE on this poll and many others here as well. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...et+Vs.+batgirl Quote:

A 20mm jubilee bracelet has never been for girls. That's just stupid. On a 40mm GMT and not a 36mm Datejust is even stupider. It's a stupid nickname.

Nicknames go with the bezel. Not the bracelet. No amount of justifying it or trying to put a ‘rationale’ to it makes any sense.
Batgirl is stupid and only trolls, idiots, uneducated/unaware, misogynists, men needing macho validation .... use that stupid name.

I didn't want to say that but using your own words which fits the right party who hate the nickname because they are trolls, idiots, uneducated/unaware, misogynists men needing macho validation who hate using Batgirl for a reference they own or aspire to own, and somehow need to force other people to stop using it by bullying and attacking them with these words, and different tactics. BLNR on jubilee is a beautiful reference and Batgirl fits it well. People who don't like the name and think it's stupid that's fine. I'm aware that some people hate it for their right reasons (don't like nicknames in general or just specifically this one), and they shouldn't use it. I'm not attacking them, I'm just showing how uneducated some people are, who use terms they don't understand. People who like it should go ahead and use it freely. I'm sorry for using some terms used by some other poster. I don't like to use some of these terms, and hope the moderators step in so that some people start being civil again. This is a respectable forum and opinions have to be respected.

I thought you were not participating in this thread anymore
I know we cannot convince you because you have a horse in this race. But for every un-decided out there, they should know why the new nickname is unnecessary & a creation of spite. They should also know that you can’t pick at choose what aspect the nickname comes from. If it’s bezel this week or bracelet the next or hands next time. That’s not how nicknames work. |

Best not to mention the Pep-she then
But really... nicknames are just a bit of silly fun. I couldn't care less whatever nickname a watch I own has... certainly nothing to actually get 'offended' about. For whatever reason, Batman and Batgirl have stuck as a way of differentiating the same (although technically slightly different) watch on different bracelets. At least it's better than that 'Bruiser' nickname that was bandied around when the BLNR was first released.

I'll try once more to get you to clarify: Are you saying don't use nicknames because they're stupid... Or are you saying don't use "stupid" nicknames? Also your poll is similarly muddy as several people have pointed out already. Why did you not stand by your words and poll - 'Batgirl' is a STUPID nickname: YES or NO? |

This is the Rolex Forum - participating in meaningless discussions about frivolous things that don't matter in the bigger scheme of things is what we do - in fact its what YOU were doing when you posted your comment above. A little hypocritical of you to call us out when you were doing exactly the same thing. Are we supposed to turn off our laptops until this whole thing gets resolved?? Using TRF as a little distraction from the grim realities of the global pandemic is a good thing surely???

Wow, ok, aaaaaanyway...
Back to the OP’s original question, I’ve been trying to search this also and maybe I’ve just been out of the loop too long, but I can’t really find the answer either. Can you put an oyster bracelet on the new GMT w/ jubilee? I’m dying for a GMT, but just don’t like the jubilee, and want to be prepared if my AD calls me with one in hand and know what my options are. Thanks. |

Yes, you can. I just picked up a new GMT and immediately took off the jubilee.
I found a brand new Oyster off a no date sub a few weeks prior. The seller put his sub on a Rubber B and was trying to recoup some money. I used the pins from the Oyster, not sure it matters but I did. It fits perfect no issues. Sent from my BBE100-5 using Tapatalk |
