Following a very informative thread a couple of weeks ago. I took the plunge after purchasing a Burgeon 7825 bracelet/pin removal tool (which, by the way, makes life so much easier) and put my BLNR bracelet on my new BLRO. Now to get the correct pins to add the jubilee on to the BLNR

kdqq · 28 June 2018, 11:36 PM

Where do you get the correct pins to do this?

ap1 · 28 June 2018, 11:36 PM

Looks great - just like wg one from afar

I used the BLNR pins. Not perfect, but feels pretty secure.

Love this! My hesitation on the BLRO is because of the jubilee bracelet. This is just perfect hardware now

Good move..

Looks great and should be an option IMHO.

jay_kay · 28 June 2018, 11:48 PM

Now that looks just the way a Pepsi GMT should look. Oyster all the way. Love it.

Rashid.bk · 28 June 2018, 11:53 PM

Looks good but the that oyster doesn't seem to sit flush. Now it looks like the white gold model. I am curious as to why change this to oyster and the BLNR to jubilee, is it to look like the white gold model?
Thankfully I love the jubilee, it's really what pushed me over to like the BLRO in ss.

sholzer · 28 June 2018, 11:55 PM

Nice! Looking at it, I thought it might fit, but haven't tried

Must be the sunlight/camera angle, it fits the same as on the BLNR. No nothing to do with making it look like the white gold. I just think the oyster looks better on the BLRO. I still like the jubilee, to be honest it actually looked and felt better than I thought it would. However its nice to have the option and mix it up occasionally.

Wow! Looks great!!!!

BzKneez · 29 June 2018, 12:10 AM

Okay cool. It is a nice to change up, both are the best bracelets on the planet to me. How do the springbars used to make the oyster fit, actually fit in the holes on the case. I may be mistaken but I thought they were thinner which if so could cause some wiggle which equals wear..if it's the same springbar then it's a non issue so nevermind.

Not sure why so many threads claimed that it didn’t work. Surely blnr owners would attempt this easily

Loevhagen · 29 June 2018, 12:14 AM

I like the jubilee bracelet - but not how Rolex implemented it on the 126710. But: Your bracelet swap fixed it somewhat. :)

Hersey are one of internet's primary source of error. That's why fake news originators are so successful.

Thanks for sharing!

Now the price of SS BLRO will go up further.

So True..

I. Love. It. I can live with Jubilee if I have to, but Oyster bracelet is the way for me.

lmcgbaj · 29 June 2018, 01:17 AM

Best to have both BLNR and Pepsi, one one Jubilee and one on Oyster. Win win I say.

Which makes me think why would Rolex keep the existing BLNR going further with the slightly different lug hole configuration?

jubilee only for me. This watch is perfect for it. Other professional models not so much.

When you say not perfect, what is the issue? Is there anything to be concerned about with the fit? Could you be out for a walk /run/hike and it falls off your wrist and bounces off the concrete/trail?

When I get mine I would love to do this but I have a pretty active life and if there is any chance its not a secure fit , I would never do the switch.

Looks great by the way

Very wee said. Could not agree more. The jubilee harkens the Pepsi back to its glory days of the 1675. I think it connects the modern Pepsi to its heritage.

Also I’d be careful that the screws might loosen over time.
