I took the oyster bracelet with PCL's off my 116710 BLNR on day 1, and have been wearing it on the bracelet off my 16610LV instead. Much prefer the look.

Now here's controversy - I did the reverse swap the other day, and mounted the BLNR bracelet to the kermit :))

Blasphemy!!!

looks good man. Do whatever you want!

SweepingSH · 13 February 2020, 06:58 PM

Looks very nice. Will an AD let you buy an extra bracelet and do the swap or is there regulations from Rolex about this.

You are not allowed to say that horrible word ever again!

I’m shocked at how good that looks :p

adawil2002 · 13 February 2020, 07:55 PM

Have wanted my PCLs brushed for quite some time now. That band looks great!

fskywalker · 13 February 2020, 07:58 PM

Well done!

VegasMilgauss · 13 February 2020, 07:59 PM

A transsexual watch!

In that spirit- as long as it makes you happy

Onikage · 13 February 2020, 08:58 PM

You have bastardised nothing. This is how the GMT should be. Rolex did the bastardization with the PCL.

jay_kay · 13 February 2020, 09:03 PM

No bastardisation there.

Initially Jubilee wasn't for me so swapped it out for a 72600 oyster with polished links. 2 weeks later, missed the jubilee and now much prefer it. It's always nice to have an option though.

ST2 · 13 February 2020, 09:03 PM

I'm not a fan of it but i definitely don't hate it. Never hurts to stand out a bit.

Nono01 · 13 February 2020, 09:12 PM

Bastardized? You made it batter by a mile!!!
Enjoy it!

Not true, the Oyster is the original. The Jubilee was an option much later and has only ever been sold in much smaller numbers than GMTs with the Oyster.

The Oyster looks much better than the Jubilee which to my eyes does not suit this style of watch at all.

There is no reason for Rolex to not offer both so people can choose. (Other than their stubborn refusal to give people what they want).

bobabreath · 13 February 2020, 09:27 PM

Hoping Rolex comes out with a GMT Diver in 2020!

KBM · 13 February 2020, 09:32 PM

That's how it looks best, imo.

ninjin · 13 February 2020, 09:45 PM

Looking good! That is what I will do to my Pepsi 'when' it comes in.

Well done on making your Rolex into the watch you want!!!

Jcy90 · 13 February 2020, 09:51 PM

Looks excellent! Enjoy!

1William · 13 February 2020, 09:52 PM

I like it and the Glide lock clasp is a game changer for wear and comfort.

djgallo · 13 February 2020, 09:55 PM

Great sex change....

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.

I prefer BLNR 2.0 on a jubilee but that looks really sharp. I especially like the brushed oyster if you are going to be wearing the watch during sports. Nice job.

Let's see the Jubilee on your sub!

In the minority here, I really like the PCL's on the GMT but to each is own. Wear it well.

strafer_kid · 13 February 2020, 11:20 PM

Seems fine!

mjclark32 · 13 February 2020, 11:28 PM

Easy mod and still oem. Good stuff, enjoy

samson66 · 14 February 2020, 12:00 AM

That looks great! And you got the glidelock too - well done!

I tried to get one today for my root beer and was told that I had to give the root beer band in exchange...no deal from me.

Looks like I need to talk to DSW to source one
