Not exactly positive on the 126710, but I was able to use the same spring bars from my 116710 with the 97200 bracelet.

I love the jubilee and have to admit it’s a bit more comfortable, but the stealth look of the oyster fits my current lifestyle a little bit better.

Pointless... I you want a oyster bracelet go and buy the old GMT

The one that is discontinued, and asking exorbitant prices on the secondary market? Definitely a smarter move than just buying a bracelet that you can swap out as needed while still spending less. Who wants options when you can pay a premium for something that isn't 100% what you want?

I would like to know this as well. Did you purchase the bracket through your AD?

It should either come the way or be offered as an option. Looking to do the same thing. Where did you source your bracelet if you don't mind me asking.

So bad you can get your Blnr directly from AD.... I feel super tired of people complaining about Rolex bracelets case lugs.. Bla Bla Bla.... If you don't like something don't buy it easy piece.... Or go and buy another watch brand

Looks nice! I'd put mine on a Seamaster Bond bracelet to really rattle some cages.

That’s why I did this...



It’s your watch to do what you want with it...

Kudo's for changing yours out!





Historically speaking:
Jubilee belongs to GMT.
