You may be right ...

You'd probably have to source it through a third party and pay out the Ying Yang

No one who wants a Pepsi will be able to choose.


Ppl will buy whatever is offered to them.

Same.

I guess I’m back to looking at the IWC Mark XVIII which actually has a glidelock.

I think with jubilee BLRO looks more special.....the oyster bracelet make the watch common with other models....so we will see but I think in one or two years the BLRO jubilee bracelet will be discontinued....

WG if I could justify that level of expenditure on a watch. Maybe one day I will.

In the mean time, the BLRO on Oyster will do very nicely thank you. Never was keen on the Jubilee version, but having a choice is a good thing. Better than no choice - you'll just have to wait twice as long.

I was hoping we would get a jubilee option on the 2 tone CHNR.. would have been a winner IMO

The big test will be whether existing 126710 owners will be allowed to order, like you can with the multi bracelet options on the DJ.

I really thought this year would be the year of a Red/Black GMT

This is pretty cool. I have a Jubilee BLNR, but I've always wanted an oyster bracelet GMT. I wonder how hard it will be to source just an oyster bracelet in the coming year?

Will the bracelets be interchangeable? Wondering if I can buy an Oyster bracelet...

They are carryover from 2020 so yes! Just looked at my tags and info on my BLNR from this February - I don't see the bracelet part number anywhere. I'm thinking that AD's will swap to meet customer wants/orders!

I prefer the jubilee but hope to land the oyster as jubilee impossible.

With all the Bat this and Pepsi that, I'd forgotten we've been waiting for that one for years.

No, it changed the LOOK of exclusivity.

So buy yellow gold instead....
Extra funny because it seems that about 99.97% of WG buyers say they do so to fly under the radar.

I wouldn't bet on that, Rolex always offered the GMT on both, only relatively recently did they swap into offering only Oyster for a while and then only jubilee.

I figure they will make them more available now that they have reduced their dealer network so hopefully people won't have to pay the big grey markups.

So any guesses on the prices of an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet from an AD?
