I'm confused by this. Don't you get your warranty card from your AD when you leave with the watch? Where would you be sending it from?

Congratulations on your great looking jubilee BLNR! Looks great on your wrist. Interesting how the jubilee has less adjustment room. Usually I need one link removed on an oyster for my 7.25" wrist. Sounds like you have a nice down-to-earth AD. Enjoy and wear it in good health. Cheers!

I had the chance to wear it for a few hours on Friday and it does feel different than the oyster bracelet.

It feels a little lighter and easier to move, so I guess a bit more comfortable. It also dresses the watch up a bit more than with the oyster (I've had two BLNR's in the past with the oyster bracelet).

I've been without a new GMT for a little over a year now and I'm really liking it again. My classic Pepsi is in another league with the patina and nostalgia. It wears a bit smaller too, not that the new GMT is gigantic or anything like that.

Yes, big props to my AD. Extremely hard to get and he, along with the owner of the AD are tops on my "nice" list

Just got the call - my AD has a 126710BLNR with my name on it!

Yes, the jubilee bracelet makes the watch lighter ... my ND Sub feels heavier.

Likewise, a jubilee must be shorter in length — I feel bad for anyone with a 7.5+” wrist. I have a 7.25” wrist and had NO links taken out. They set the easylink to the middle position for me. So, severely limits larger wristed fellows. I hope Rolex gives additional links to larger customers instead of charging for them.

As noted by DaytonaSubmariner, the jubilee really makes this piece dressier. It now has become (in my mind) the ultimate sophisticated, world traveler watch. It would look perfect while sunbathing in Positano as it would under smart wear in the casino at Monte Carlo.

I don't have a large wrist (7"), so I would think if someone has a 7.5" or larger they might need to add links.

Yes, I have a VERY good AD! He said it is the second new BLNR they got in.

Very excited! I've never owned a Rolex with the jubilee bracelet. It's quite comfy and feels different than the oyster. I little bit more dressy too.
Both look great! Congrats and glad to see your AD come through for you.

B
My AD sends in the warranty information with my personal information to Rolex and then they send it back to my AD. It's the way we've been doing it for the last 10+ years.
What does everyone else do?

Thanks all for the props! Much appreciated

Congrats, it's a beauty!

Is it just me, or are we seeing a positive tick in deliveries of the new BLNR?

On my 7.5” wrist, I had to let out the EasyLink to have it fit correctly out of the box. So, yes much smaller bracelet in length. If it were mine, I’d likely put it on brushed SubC Glidelock.



That said, I haven’t worn it; it’s my wife’s 50th birthday present, but she wants to just keep it in the safe for now. She loves her SD 16600!
