new movement, bracelet, not sure about lug width, ill have to look into that

There was talk when the ss blro gmt first came out that the holes �� in the lugs were positioned differently and that the bracelets weren’t interchangeable but I recall that was proven wrong when someone fitted an oyster to the new ☝️

The same should apply for the blnr

BroncoOne · 1 March 2021, 11:40 PM

Better new movement and a different bracelet.

DESH · 1 March 2021, 11:44 PM

I own both- and enjoy the jubilee bracelet over the oyster-

Benzsiam · 1 March 2021, 11:46 PM

New movement and dressier bracelet.

drrd · 1 March 2021, 11:47 PM

There’s your answer.

Maybe close this now before someone gets angry and starts posting unsavoury pictures?

Mifune · 2 March 2021, 12:24 AM

Batman versus Bruce Wayne... both have merit.

jerseydan31 · 2 March 2021, 01:05 AM

Isn't there a slight difference in the case at the lug ends?

Kiddodoc · 2 March 2021, 02:35 AM

I owned the 116710 blnr but looked too much like my sub so I traded my 116710 for the 126710 blnr due to the jubilee and haven't looked back. It is unique to have a jubilee on sports watch and has I have a lot of Rolex sports watches with oyster bracelets, I welcomed the change.

BLNR Nairobi · 2 March 2021, 02:47 AM

I believe Batman can defeat Batgirl. He has had more training, has demonstrably beaten stronger foes (including foes he should NOT be able to defeat), and definitely is stronger. He also has a far sharper mind based on the canon of DC comics, being considered one of the smartest people in their continuity. Finally, he’s a billionaire and thus has the resources and gadgets edge.

I hope that helps.

In terms of watches, the 116710BLNR has an Oyster bracelet while the 126710BLNR has a Jubilee bracelet. Additionally, the 126710BLNR has a newer movement and a small coronet between ‘Swiss’ and ‘made.’

But perhaps they didn’t want an answer, maybe they wanted a show?

The question’s been answered.

brucethemanlee · 2 March 2021, 03:32 AM

The difference?

The difference is that the Batman is better and the original

DoctorsOrders · 2 March 2021, 03:41 AM

oyster vs jubilee bracelet and movement of a 48 hour power reserve vs 72 hours

Imo the jubilee bracelet is quintessential Rolex and a real stunner in person!

Goin2drt · 2 March 2021, 03:53 AM

One is for young people and one is for old people.

SeaDweller50 · 2 March 2021, 03:59 AM

One has the Jubilee bracelet for the over 70’s.

vh2k · 2 March 2021, 04:01 AM

So many Rolex experts on this forum... but people always forget to mention the case/lugs were refined in 2018 to look less "supercase-ish."

From Rolex:

The lugs and sides of its Oyster case have been redesigned, and the watch is fitted on a five-link Jubilee bracelet.

Manamana · 2 March 2021, 04:16 AM

Batman discontinued, and Batgirl will be in production for no less than 8 years. Differences are in bracelet, case, lugs, added crown, movement, and hands.

charleshook · 2 March 2021, 04:16 AM

Well i prefer Batgirl

7sins · 2 March 2021, 04:25 AM

I’ve owned both and prefer the Batman on jubilee all day, one of my favorite watches.

Haveapair · 2 March 2021, 04:29 AM

You may upset some Batgirl owners by calling their watch a Batgirl (even though that's what it is called)

jaisonline · 2 March 2021, 04:50 AM

I also owned both BLNRs. Hate that batgirl nickname nearly as much as the jubilee bracelet. Although, the jubilee is much comfortable than the Oyster but find the modern version too bling bling.

Note: I do adore my 5 digit GMTs on the jubilee. Hmmm.

Says you who’ve been into Rolex for no longer than 6 weeks.

Stoffel · 2 March 2021, 04:54 AM

I like the Batman minus the polished centre links but I wouldn’t wear the Batgirl if you paid me. I really dislike the jubilee bracelet. I’d much rather see it on a brushed oyster.

JRell · 2 March 2021, 05:06 AM

Depends on your collection. If you lack a jubilee bracelet it is a nice balance. If you have another watch with a jubilee would go with the oyster. But wouldn’t buy it aftermarket, not worth 15-18k in my opinion.

shredder · 2 March 2021, 10:14 AM

Ok. Got it. Thanks.
I prefer the oyster bracelet myself just because of looks and it is what I am used to... But i have never owned a jubilee bracelet to know if its comfortable or not. .

It's part of the stupefying urge to name everything after comic book characters that cropped up a couple of years back.

They are both the same watch, with the 126710 being the latest generation, since it's release back in 1954.

Visually, it's nothing but going back to offering the SS GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
