AD says Jubilee bracelet for Skydweller will NOT fit my Skydweller with Oyster bracel

[Dr.Mehr]

So I visited my local AD to order the Jubilee bracelet of the Skydweller. I have purchased a Skydweller from this AD with the Oyster bracelet.

However I am informed by the SA that the Jubilee bracelet will NOT fit the Skydweller with oyster bracelet.

I find this really strange as I am not aware of the dimensions of the watch changing. What are your thoughts on this ?

I was told (by a used watch dealer) that Rolex now puts "tabs" and "indents" on cases and bracelets so you can't swap them out...

Wasn't really listening though as I was more interested in fitting newer bracelets to older watches..

I recently swapped my DJ41 jubilee bracelet with my DJ41 Oyster and saw the tabs/indents. Its def weird looking...but in this case it worked. SO maybe they are wrong....

Correct. I was able to swap a jubilee and oyster from DateJust 41s. BUT...

This is what the lugs look like now...stolen photo because I'm not taking my bracelet off again. Slots, tabs, indents I don't know what they call 'em.
