Oyster bracelet on the 126710 BLRO

I just picked up the 126710BLRO from David SW and then changed out the jubilee for a new oyster bracelet. Personally I think it looks great and one that will get a lot of wrist time.

I like it. Just as I expected I would..

What I did not expect is how much I like the watch on the jubilee. Before it came out I was all oyster and never would have wanted a Pepsi on a jubilee. Then I became obsessed with it. And was lucky enough to get one last fall from my AD...

thx for sharing.

Which ouster bracelet did you use and where did you get it from? I wouldn’t mind trying to source one to put on mine for a change up at some point. I also really enjoy the jubilee

this.

i switched it over to the glidelock oyster from my 116610lv, loved it.

took about two weeks before i wanted it back on jubilee and now it’s perfect for me.

weirdly i DO love the hulk on jubilee so will have to source a super jubilee. AD is assisting.

It's a sub bracelet. Really nice to have the glidelock. As for where I got, asked David SW, and he was able to get one

Oh oh...if you polish the center links the WG Pepsi owners will be mad! I think the way you have it looks good.

Pepsi looks great on Oyster. I think it looks even better on Jubilee though.

Stellar on the oyster. The jubilee makes it look like a busier, dressier watch--not a pro model tool watch to be worn and beat on daily.

That’s my favorite configuration on that watch. Wish Rolex had shipped them that way. Love the Glidelock!

When it first came out, I was thrilled to see it on a Jubilee because that's how the old sports watches used to come from Rolex, even the subs. I was circling a sub for years and when the BLRO came out on jubilee, I knew that was the one.

It's a good look but prefer the jubilee on this reference. Nice option to have though.

Good option, although I prefer jubilee on the BLRO. Thanks for letting me know that sub’s bracelet is interchangeable with gmt.

Very Cool, Exactly what I would have done. A sport watch should be on a oyster bracelet, no question.

Oyster looks far better on every GMT. I really don’t like the Jubilee on them. Datejust on Jubilee is okay because it’s a dress watch but on the more sporty models there is a jarring mismatch.

Congrats! Looks good, but I love the jubilee. Either way, you can't go wrong.
