wont work - different case shape.

Duey · 29 November 2017, 02:20 PM

It will work - same size

05carbondrz · 29 November 2017, 02:48 PM

Any Photoshop Wizards?

Frankenwatch. Stay stock or you bought the wrong watch.

Are you sure about this? Even if the lugs are the same size the holes for the lugs on the case and also the holes on the bracelet would NOT line up. Its a completely different shape.

Are you saying this from experience or what?

We know the jubilee fits so it may well do so...

ap1 · 30 November 2017, 01:26 AM

Why attempt this

Chadridv · 30 November 2017, 01:33 AM

Sorry if sharing this link is a no no, but check out this beauty! A vintage YG GMT on President. Looks amazing IMO.

Well that proves it can be done, at least on older models, but also proves as far as I’m concerned why it absolutely 100% should not be done! Not a good look, like wearing sneakers with a suit.

I'd like to do stuff like that when I grow up...!!! Great job. I like the GMT with the regular Oyster bracelet better.

Tangier11 · 30 November 2017, 02:07 AM

I think the WG would be okay, but not YG IMHO

Number3 · 30 November 2017, 02:29 AM

It looks great on a President.

It does look gorgeous.

RW16610 · 30 November 2017, 02:50 AM

I actually like the look of that quite a bit

KBM · 30 November 2017, 02:56 AM

Looks good on the president. Looks better on the oyster.

lecorsaire · 30 November 2017, 03:01 AM

I thought it would look terrible but it really doesn't look bad especially in white gold. It's just such a well designed bracelet. While the GMTs have come on jubilees, I feel that they make the watch a little dated. I love the jubilee on DJs but I think the Oyster looks best on every sports Rolex. However I wouldn't recommend anyone do it especially if you're going to do any kind of water sports with the BLRO on. While the clasp on the President is very good and secure for the most part, I wouldn't take the risk in the water with any watch that doesn't have a flip lock. I've never had the president clasp pop open on me, but I'm still always worried that it could happen and it has happened to DD owners so my fears aren't unwarranted.

The GMT IIc's while not made for diving, have the trip lock crown which makes them a really robust watch for everything but deep diving.

If anyone has both a WG DD40 and a BLRO and willing to take the time to try this out, please share pics!!!

That was an OEM offer.

Oh really? I am very surprised to hear that as I understood the President bracelet was only to be offered on the Day Date. Furthermore I do not think it is a good combination of styles as I stated, something my tastes and Rolex don't seem to disagree on too often!

I think THC was confused as to the "why" (rather than the lingo) as am I.

i know used the DD40 in the mock up, but actually I think if it were possible it would have to come from a 36mm DD. I believe the DD40 bracelet is 21mm

dysondiver · 30 November 2017, 04:12 AM

i like the look , ill bet its comfy to wear.

KrismanX · 30 November 2017, 04:29 AM

Looks pretty clean!
