BLRO 3 months later…
Update…
Well it’s been 3 months with the Oyster bracelet and I just picked up my Jubilee today and had it put on so I didn’t have to mess with it. I wanted to do a quick update just let those that are waiting know I had to contact Rolex headquarters myself to make it happen. Sometimes waiting isn’t enough so I made the call. I was given instructions on how to proceed and 4 weeks later it arrived and it’s on ;) It is a different watch without a doubt. The jubilee is much more airy and feels so much lighter on the wrist almost like you’re not wearing a watch compared to the weight and feel of the oyster bracelet you know it’s there. It is very elegant and and I will keep it on for the same amount of time I had the oyster on and see how I feel at the end of the three months. Here are a few pictures… Cheers |

That is awesome! Didn't realize Rolex even gave us the official opportunity to get both bracelets. I'd love to hear more about who you reached out to at Rolex to make this happen!

@jamesnye14
I explained it in the post here. I contacted Rolex headquarters to get the truth about whether or not they are selling the bracelets and what kind of time frame we are looking at. They confirmed that yes there are two ways of doing it. 1. Send them the watch and they will install the bracelet and send it back along with the original or … 2. Got to your AD after you talk to headquarters of course with directions on how to proceed having your AD order for you. Do you have headquarters # ? |

I’ve heard that Rolex and the ADs are now telling some callers a few different stories and ultimately turning them down. At the same time other callers have been successful with no resistance. I was hoping that you guys can share your experiences and outcomes here in the thread. Cheers |

Any luck as of yet? Have you been given any answers or gotten any closer to your purchasing the bracelet? |

Well I tried to keep the Jubilee on for 3 months … I failed Oyster and the dresses down look is just me. I’m sure the Jubilee will find its way back on at some point but just not right now made it just 4 days shy of a month lol :(

I have a similar experience. Bought it on oyster in June, switched to jubilee in November with the idea of keeping it on at least three months. However now I find myself missing the oyster every time I put it on (not that it looks or feels bad on any of the bracelets) |

Well I was changing out the bracelet today and I don’t know why I stopped and picked up the watch after taking off the bracelet I normally just swap them out and done but not today. I thought I’d take a closer look and just see all the engravings between the lugs. Well to my surprise I wasn’t aware that Rolex stopped engraving the serial number between the lugs. When did this happen 2018? Now I’m curious anyone know???
Time for some homework lol |

Nice to have both bracelet options for variety.
I’m a big fan of the jubilee for two reasons: comfort and the fact it shows less signs of scratching. I never could stand polished center links, YMMV |

Agreed, I’ve had this watch less than 6 months and wear it a couple times a week and can already see the oyster bracelet is showing quite a bit more scratches than the jubilee. To be fair though when I purchased the watch in June it came on the oyster and I didn’t get the jubilee for it until Sept. so for 3 months it was on the oyster. I put the jubilee on when I bought it and I was going to leave it on for 3 months but I missed the weight difference so I put the oyster back on after a month and just swap back and forth now. I don’t pamper my watches I wear them and enjoy them as much as I can but I can’t say for certain because I messed up and didn’t leave it on long enough to be fair. |

Hopefully one day they’ll add the mini glidelock to the entire professional range

So happy to hear Rolex allowed you to keep the Oyster! I heard that when you order the jubilee, they'll keep the Oyster...which is so wrong.
Glad it wasn't the case with you. |
