Unicorns, leprechauns, and the BLRO

P.S. pics of the Hulk on jubilee would be good.

i had to fiddle with the spring bars; but it works. quite well actually. i have the jubilee spring bars in the hulk, and non-rolex spring bars in the oyster. all is secure and happy.

To find out if it's possible to buy the bracelet...and how, which was answered.

It'd be a genius move by Rolex in my opinion: the Jubilee still differentiates the GMT from the Submariner, and an eventual all-brushed option provides an oyster look while still differentiating steel from PM GMTs.

What is the incentive ? Demand is up the rooftop as it is so why complicate things by offering more choice ?

This sounds a bit better in a reasonably broad Scots accent and it would be “If my Auntie hid baws”

Even if you can source that, it’s inferior to the 5 digit versions because there is no way to trim down the giant lugs which throw off the balance of the entire watch to my eye.

Ok, I’m going to go on record and say I really like this. I think a jubilee on a LN Sub is about as wrong as you can get, like wearing wingtips with cargo shorts (I’m not good with analogies). But on the LV, I think this works.

[PepsiBezel]

Makes for a great two watch combo!

Easy to swap bracelets, just keep the original springbars with each watch.

If this part is true and any Canadian TRF’ers would consider helping a Yank out in this matter please send me a PM.

Man, some nice watches out there. Thanks for all the feedback!

This thread is proof AD’s are full of it. Mine said Rolex moved the spring bar holes on the new jubilee GMTs to prevent this. Clearly not the case as proven by jvb.nc and Harry.

Not to jump to the defense of ADs, but I wonder if it was a simple miscommunication. Clearly, Rolex did change the spring bar holes, which is why you need to use the spring bars that came with the watch when switching the bracelet but it doesn't appear that they moved them. I could see an AD hearing they "changed the spring bar holes" as "they moved them."

[rushca01]

Is there any play in the end link when using the jubilee springs bars with the oyster bracelet? Are the bars the same diameter it’s just the lug holes are different?
