Anyone tried an oyster on new pepsi????

[DavidUK]

Actually, that does look good with the TT jubilee.

The purple, pink, and gold give it a Royal vibe...

[Onikage]

I've always wanted a YG pepsi. Just not enough to pony up for the ruby and sapphire set 'Patriot' GMT.

Watch closely, I’ll just leave it there

[james.l]

I was in two minds about the jubilee. Now the oyster fits it's nailed on for me

Since buying an SS Sub Date last summer (and trading it 4 weeks later) I established two things:
1/ I only like TT.
2/ The oyster bracelet is a scratch magnet. Any Rolex MUST have a jubilee.

If the new BLRO is available with a TT jubilee I may consider one. But it's large font purple and pink bezel is still a little too garish for me. One for the youngsters I think.

[No SUBctitute]

Have we reached a conclusion on what oyster bracelets will fit the Pepsi besides the GMT oyster bracelet?

Here are some oyster bracelets one might want to try on the Pepsi. Do we know if any of these fit?

-Sub
-Explorer II
-Explorer
-Air King
-DJ 41
-DJ II
-Oyster Perpetual 39
-Milgauss

[DanMdR]

The Oyster bracelet from the Explorer II or DJII/41 won’t work because the width is wider. 21mm vs the 20 on the GMT and all the others listed.

Can somebody confirm this with the glidelock? It would be a make or break for me. Thanks.

I just read post 231, the question still has not been fully answered / confirmed by someone successfully installing a Glidelock bracelet on a GMTiiC model.

I would like to know so when the new SS GMT “Coke” model comes out, I can install my Glidelock from my 116610LN sub on it. I can’t handle the bling of the PCLs. The GMT is a tool watch not a shiney dress watch in my opinion.

I have taken the Glidelock bracelet off of my 116600 before and worn it on my BLNR using the thinner spring bars Already on the 116710.
A super jubilee is on it now. Maybe I will get a chance to swap it over again this weekend and I’ll post.

...here you go. There is some minimal movement where it butts up to the case but you probably could resolve that with different spring bars.

The 97200 (glidelock) will fit the BLNR, so if the Oyster from the BLNR fits the new BLRO, glidelock will fit the BLRO.

This is great news- because the jubilee from the BLRO will fit a large assortment of SS professionals.

That was also my view but now having them both I’ve found out that jubilee/pepsi combo is so characteristic and opens more doors than ceramic Daytona.
Any way great to have options and I can imagine more people buying two different GMTs on different but interchangable bracelets to have four “different looks” than stick with one. So it makes more business for Rolex I guess.

Be careful with that. The endlinks from the SD bracelet pivot into the underside of the bezel on your GMT. Given enough wear, the bezel will end up with four small wear points where the corners of the endlinks rubbed.

It bolts up but technically doesn't fit.

If you had a Sub bracelet instead, things would be different.

Unfortunately this isn't the case. The 1267xx endlinks use smaller springbars and the through-hole has been moved outboard by a small amount. While you can put a 1167xx bracelet on a 1267xx case using 1267xx springbars, you can't put a 1267xx bracelet on a 1167xx case without sourcing custom springbars. Given the smaller diameter of 1267xx springbars, I wouldn't risk using anything else.

I'm unclear on reading the entire thread. I have a blro that fits perfectly with my blnr oyster bracelet. Can I put the jubilee from my blro on my blnr?

Thanks to all for this tread. I was never a fan of the jubilee, too old school for me.

I’d prefer the Sub brushed glide lock bracelet, but I’d be happy with the 116710 BLNR bracelet now that we know it fits.

Solid work @billyrayuk

Check out the thread now, it does in fact fit.

[Brian Page]

Great information for sure!

Were we ever able to confirm whether the new BLRO Jubilee fits on BLNR?

I saw post #176 (https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...&postcount=176) where billyrayuk said he was ordering spring bars that theoretically should fit but I don't think it's been answered.

I did see however that he managed to get the BLRO springbars to fit the Jubilee on BLNR just enough to take a photo but not secure enough in post #178 (https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...&postcount=178).

Super curious if those "1.5mm diameter to fit through jubilee end links but with 0.9mm" spring bars ended up doing the trick!

Here’s mine with the BLNR bracelet:

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing. I read all pages, and am hoping to get a call for my BLRO. Someday.

Were you able to get the Glidelock on the BLRO with a thinner springbar?
How’s the fit of the BLNR bracelet on the BLRO and which springbar did you end up using?
Thanks

For the BLNR bracelet, simply use the spring bars from your BLRO. That's all it takes.

Awesome. I have a choice to get either the BLNR or Submariner bracelet, both $2000, leaning towards Glidelock but not sure if that will fit

[Sweetswisssteel]

I would but it would be too messy

Just going back to this thread, anybody tried putting the Submariner Glidelock bracelet on the BLRO yet? I think it would match perfectly with the BLRO's brushed lugs.

Yeah, would love to see if anyone made this happen....

[214270Explorer]

The ability to install an Oyster bracelet on the SS Jubilee-braceleted GMT-II would indicate (at least to WIS's anyway) that it is the WG model.

Rolex would not like to hear of that, would they.

And neither "should" the rest of us.
