I really hope they leave the jubilee as an option.

Wow Pepsi on the Jubilee in my opinion it is much nicer than the oyster. Like many, I prefer the blnr on the oyster with Polish Center links however rather than the jubilee.

If the GMT’s are offered on either an oyster or a jubilee, this will surely make the BLNR & BLRO harder to obtain due to the fact that people that don’t like one of the bracelets will now be able to choose??

Will this push the grey price up?

brushed oyster+mini glidelock would be perfect on any modern GMT.

I don’t like this change personally (if it’s true) having an option to choose between bracelets. I definitely think that I would prefer it on an oyster (already have WG) but I feel having the option to choose somewhat dilutes the exclusivity of the watch. Especially discontinuing it on the BLNR then bringing it back again all seems like a bit of a mess.

However I’m sure Rolex know what they’re doing!

Quite excited to see what the explorer has to offer.

I really don't like this. GMTs should be on jubilees. At least the option of either is better than discontinuing the jubilee, that I would really hate to see.

Does the Root Beer still come in TT ErG? Having that on TT Jubilee would look fantastic....

I really like the Pepsi on the Jubliee. I wouldn't be mad at an oyster bracelet, but jubliee would have been my choice. Damn this really sucks, I'm like 6-8 months away from finally getting the darn watch. But this will probably push the jubliee price version a bit more.

If Coke comes, BLNR is going away. Just my thoughts.

Or the option to pick up the other bracelet also for the option to swap in and out if they choose, that would be fantastic

I think the Greys will win... the Oyster will create more overall demand (and will be harder to get initially), while, presumably, some percentage of jubilee 126710s will shift to Oyster. So as a percentage, fewer new jubilee 126710s, so that will go up too.

Offering both bracelets isn’t new. The previous GMT was always available with a choice of jubilee or oyster. As usual, Rolex is merely flipping back through its old catalog and practices.

Given the bracelet flexibility with the GMT reference who wouldn’t want that?

That’s a tough one Jay.

I prefer the jubilee bracelet on this reference personally, BUT I’d love to see it with a mini glidelock, instead of the easy link.

I know many here prefer the oyster, but IMHO, the jubilee is just perfect for this reference and it super comfortable

I agree with you on the optional bracelet and I’d also be surprised if Rolex doe this. I know it used to be this way many years ago but IMO they’d still have line ups for those who would buy two new watches as opposed to one watch and two bracelets

Tomorrow will be here soon enough

Curious to see what will happen to the 116710BLNR prices. Would guess the prices should drop significantly.

Significantly no, but expect the current reference BLNR with flexible bracelet options to be prioritized.

Personally, I like the jubilee bracelet. Distinctive on a BLRO. If accurate, that will make the then-previous version unique and bump the grey market price of a 126710/jubilee. Heck, any excuse to raise prices.

Tomorrow will tell...
