Love it and can't wait to get the call! The jubilee looks amazing and such a nice compliment to the watch! It's a good thing there are so many haters of the colors and bracelet so there should be tons available.
Thanks for sharing!

of the haters this is my estimation
10% wouldn't buy it even if it was the aluminum colors as they dont like GMT's 20% probably it is truly a color issue that they dont like 20% dont like jubilees and are not open to it an any situation 50% saw the waitlist and then decided since they were not getting it anyway, they now dont like it

I think people claim to have principles but when offered a watch they want, they will walk out of the AD with the watch and without the card. Its much easier said than done.

Yeah, deffo, I have gotten over that factor now and my last purchases have all had their stickers removed. Warranty card is a no issue now...

LOVE THIS WATCH! I think they crushed it with the jubilee. The last few years the modern Rolexes have actually done a great job blending the best of the new with the best of the old. I think this includes the Exp II, the Daytona C, and now the new Pepsi.

The logic behind the jubilee is simple. People who bought the WG 116719 BLRO are probably die hard fans. The new release must be differentiated from the WG version, thus the jubilee bracelet to keep the peace.
Either way both are gorgeous pieces, here is my BLRO saying hi :) BTW the watch looks great on you |

I think it looks unbalanced with that cheap bracelet.
I tried it on and couldn’t love it. To me, it has to fit like my sub. So I’m getting the WG blue version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Saw the video. There's not that much difference TBH between the new 126710 BLRO and the old 16710 BLRO in terms of colour of the bezel, in his side by side comparision. It seems to me the whole pink/purple criticism is vastly exaggerated. I'll reserve my final judgment for the day I see one in the flesh.

I'm so glad I don't like this watch, dreadful dated Jubilee bracelet , the colours are awful.
Its a slap in the face to the white gold owners, just wait until someone figures out how to put a modified oyster style bracelet on it. Thank goodness I have a 16170, with interchangeable bezels and discontinued, they will be making the BLRO for at least 10 years, so certainly not worth paying a premium for, I predict it will be like the BLNR in a few years and pretty easy to get if you call around and can wait a month or two. If you have to have it now then you'll pay through the nose for it but many collectors won't care about the premium and will buy from greys. Therefore i'm sure it will be double MSRP at least for a year or two, if I find one on my travels I will certainly buy it at MSRP, but I won't be keeping it. |

Not my cup of tea. Bracelet doesn't suit the maxi lugs.. even less so. Nothing else to get excited about. Oh! The movement! Any info/pics of that? Or just whooping excitement about a previously white gold exclusive now in cheap-arsed steel? With a (humourously) polarising bracelet.

Wow, so much vitriol. This is one polarising watch!
I'll be grabbing it as soon as I can, love the jubilee on it |

Shows how different lighting situations change the colors. They look great in that shot.
