Side by Side BLNR - 18/19

Is there a link or review in detail yet?

I'm a happy Gen. 1 owner and not sure I like Batman's "diet".
It may be awhile before any of us see one in person.

Thanks in advance.

I am guessing the "diet" refers to the "redesigned" case with "slimmer" lugs.

Here is the link to the Hodinkee article with real photos.

The case is exactly the same as before. You guys keep regurgitating the same incorrect info.

I don’t believe it either, hence my use of quotations around the questionable claims people have been making. Only listed these because I was speculating what OP meant by “diet”.

It uses the same case as the 116710BLRO, which has tapered lugs. It’s been covered by the press a few times already.

No it doesn’t. Have seen them side by side.

I think it was stated on Hodinkee as well that the case is slimmer

Too blingy for sport model. As for comfort: when I get older I will switch to more confortable shoes and, who knows, a more comfortable Jubilee bracelet

Nice watch but I still prefer it with the oyster bracelet. Not having the newer movement is something I don’t care about at all. I’m content with my older one.

My Tudor North Flag has taught me to really love a 70 hour power reserve but I agree with you.

I much prefer my 2017 Batman BLNR on the oyster bracelet.

I’m really glad Rolex updated it, though, and made it available for all the people who want one.

They are out there. Not a short run for the BLNR oyster. This is temporary. Even Ben Bridge had them in the case for several years

The Jubilee does dress it up a bit however for day to day use I think the oyster bracelet works much better.

You made me spew my coffee a little this morning. I’m sure we’ll here about disliked nicknames again.
Maybe Basel 2020 will give the LVc a jubilee if Rolex sees Chadri’s photos of it.

I have a 2017 BLNR. May have to get a BLRO and switch the bracelets around as desired.

not a fan of jubilee BLNR, but since Rolex thinks this is a good idea, so I make one. Not too bad.
