BLRO 3 months later…

[EagleBear]

It is a very versatile timepiece for sure looks great on either bracelet. I wear both but prefer the jubilee at the moment. Put the Jubilee on late November and it’s still on although The BLRO isn’t my daily I do wear it quite often. I am glad it is now my option if I want to wear one or the other. It would be nice if Rolex did make the same options available for the Submariner and the Daytona. I think both of them also look great on either bracelet.

I was hoping that you guys can share your experiences and outcomes here in the thread.
Cheers

No such luck for me. See my thread below.

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

Such a handsome watch!

[EagleBear]

Thanks still one of my go to watches without a doubt :)

[mattytreks]

Fantastic post. Thank you for sharing the detailed pictures and information!

I can't quite put my finger on it -- the Pepsi just flat-out looks better on jubilee in my opinion, whereas the Batman (oyster) is preferred over the Batgirl.

This thread has reinforced my position that I would love to procure a Pepsi on jubilee once one actually becomes available at my AD.

Thanks Neighbor,
Best of luck to you getting it sooner than later. I change back and forth between the two bracelets although the jubilee definitely gets more wear than the oyster. Not real sure if it’s looks or comfort for me, they both look great it’s just a bit more comfortable on the jubilee. At times I even forget it’s on the wrist.

i have this on a jubilee bracelet.. i don't want for an Oytser bracelet for it, but i may try a leather strap.

That is a good question.
All I can say from my experience is I wear my watches, I don’t baby them at all. So for this to be there after only a few months of ownership and not even wearing it everyday it’s hard to say “friction” but it could be right?
