Thank you for taking the time for the team!

BLRO does look super nice with the jubilee while BLNR does look….. I should be the Oyster for my BLNR:)

It’s probably cheaper if we can trade bracelets among forum members.

NYC told me you COULDN’T swap bracelets. You could ONLY order a replacement part. This was also a month after the watch released and they probably were tired of all the same questions.

So they really told you that??

I’m confused how anyone could think these bracelets are not interchangeable. It is the same model and both color combos come with the option of each bracelet. What am I missing…

Yes, I agree with you completely, common sense should tell us that they are interchangeable. Six months ago my SA told me that next year we can order either bracelet and the cost is about $2k.

The BLNR on the Jubilee looks great.

Well done!!! Great job!

Yes but will the jubilee fit a 116710LN? Some say yes, others no.

They look better after the swap!! Great pics, thanks for sharing OP

I’m a Pepsi on jubilee and Batman kinda guy so I switched them back after I took the pics , but good to know I can change if I ever want some change. Brian, I bought my Pepsi in September of last year and the Batman I got last month

I have an original Batman on an Oyster bracelet from 2015 and A 2018 Pepsi on a jubilee , I really want to swop mine over but I wasnt aware that it could be done

[grimps]

Could this swop be done to the original LN version ?
It would be fun to see that on a jubilee

Got 4 watches there out of 2!

Hey OP
Did you see if the spring bars that came with the jubillee is the exact same as the ones that came with the oyster? Just thinking if they have different ends to them

[knighty88]

Thanks for sharing… This is the kind of versatility I love :)

Very cool and thanks for taking the time to show us.

BLRO deserves an Oyster bracelet. Period. Exclamation Mark.

Anyone else have a story from their AD recently on buying the bracelet only?

Yes. I just put a deposit to order one. I picked up my BLRO on oyster today and told them I wanted a Jubilee as well. They said no problem and will let me know when it comes in.

Extremely helpful thread, OP. Thanks!

Thanks for your efforts OP. That’s valuable info since I too have both variants and will now give it a try.

Wow. I’m getting excited. And you’re saying just a normal AD, not a Rolex Service Center AD?

Right. Just a regular old AD at a mall!

No worries! Anything to help the community

Thanks for showing us the photos and showing us how easy it is to swap the bracelets!

I love the BLRO on oyster and BLNR on jubilee. The BLRO is more playful and the history of it being on the oyster makes me gravitate toward the oyster for the watch. For the BLNR, the black and blue are more reserved formal colors so the jubilee fits that better in my opinion.

I posted a correction. The lady who told me that at the time was not aware of the correct policy. I called back later to talk to someone else and that lady said I can order the bracelet through my AD and I can keep my oyster bracelet. It turned out she was right. My AD made the swap for me. I now have two bracelets that I can switch back and forth

What’s your reference number? I called my AD and they said their REP just keeps saying not at this time.

I called Rolex NYC and I gave my reference number is 126710BLNR. She looked it up and then came back and said nope, can’t do.

126710BLRO. When I spoke to the RSC rep she said they only had one jubilee bracelet available and if I want I can send the watch in or go to my AD to order. I called my AD and asked them to order the bracelet from the NY RSC. They did say they were low in supply of jubilee bracelet for gmt’s.

And things just get worse for me haha. My AD is closing in January 2022! I called asking about the bracelet and they broke the news to me. For them, they said for the past 2 months they have been asking their Rolex Rep and he keeps saying "not yet" - in terms of when they can order the bracelet. But then again they are closing now, so obviously not on their priority list
