Sky-D Oyster switch with BLRO Jubilee possible ?

Hi guys I have both the Sky-D and the BLRO on the Jubilee both bought in 2018 a couple of months apart
Was wanting to switch the bracelet as I think the jubilee would look better with the sky-D serrated bezel and the oyster would look better with the ceramic Pepsi bezel
Can anyone of you let me know if they would fit without any modifications etc
Thanks looking forward to your replies and help

Pretty sure the skyd has wider lugs so bracelet from Pepsi won’t fit. Looks like 21mm for skyd and 20mm for Pepsi.

Unfortunately not … but your AD can order you the additional Bracelets you need to switch them out from time to time and you don’t have to worry about any modifications.

Is it finally possible? The last time I checked with my AD, it was only a theoretical possibility

So, if I read correctly you have both watches to hand and want to know if it's possible to swap bracelet, right?
Well, get a Bergeon tool (if you haven't one already), and try. It will take you 10 minutes max. It either works or doesn't.....

Yep that’s a good point I’ll try that
I am a dummy just a little worried about scratching the lugs etc ! But will mask the lugs with some tape

Yep, that's how I do it. Plenty of tape on the lugs (most specifically on the underside) and I never had any problem.

My AD said...lol (for the skyD owners)

It’s all about the relationships. If you are in good with your AD / SA they can do it through their spare parts account.

You have both watches. There's a whole 2mm difference in lug width, you can hold them together lugs to lugs to check

Unless you got an older roman numerals Sky D, then there's only a 1mm difference which might go unnoticed except for the Sky D being gold...
