Last Incoming for a While!
Well, I thought my previous incoming would be my last for a while, but sometimes you can’t say no! I had requested a BLRO from my local AD earlier this year, but let him know a couple months ago that I would be just as happy with a BLNR. And he delivered — much quicker than I anticipated!

I think I was previously in the minority that preferred the BLNR on Jubilee, and while he confirmed to me that the Jubilee will soon be orderable, the Oyster is really growing on me.

Congratulations! I prefer the BLNR over BLRO which is also the minority opinion.

Same here, but money talks, and if the BLNR was worth more, I am sure more people would suddenly prefer it as well

From what I have gathered, it seems the BLRO is more preferable on this site and perhaps within watch enthusiasts. However, the BLNR seems to be much more popular among the average consumer. It has more mass appeal and as my local watchfinder put it, everyone asks for "the batman". The BLRO appears slightly rarer though, which is likely the reason for the slight premium.

Congratulations! I have a BLNR on jubilee and love it that way. However, I also love it on the oyster and will be getting one in the next year.

Congratulations! Got mine in July and really love it. What’s nice about the current versions is that you will be able to buy the bracelet you prefer directly from Rolex soon. I have several Oysters and chose the BLNR on Jubilee as my first thinking I would just buy the Oyster when available, but I like the Jubilee so much I will probably keep it this way.
The good news is buying a $1200 bracelet is much cheaper than buying another watch-
