I'd like to know this too. What reference does the super jubilee come from and how much would I be looking at when I get my BLNR later this year? I really like the look of it.

The Super Jubilee works- like what comes on a new datejust. That's what I put on mine and really like it. You just have to get some 1.8mm spring bars as the 2.0 from the BLNR are too big.
They run about $1800-2000 new and sell quick on here when they do come up.
You can also use an older jubilee. Just make sure you get end links with the cut out (for no hole cases).

Oh cool, I see. I would have thought the Datejust Jubilee bracelet would be too small since they don't make a DJ 41 in a stainless jubilee. I'll be on the look out since I anticipate a BLNR in the near future. Thanks a lot

For those that need to hand wind your BLNR after not wearing it for sometime... I noticed i had to wind it more than 40 rotations to notice the seconds hand move. Is that pretty common? I noticed my sub didn't require as much turns on the crown compared to the BLNR.

After not wearing mine for like a month, mine got going after a few turns (not sure about exact number of turns, but am sure was less than 10).

Bye, bye.

Been a member since 2014 - and Watchanish and others seem to have loved the BLNR.

But from today I am out of the club. Sold my BLNR.

Good luck folks. :) It was fun for 2+ years.

Picked up the baby right before Christmas. Was out browsing at the Rolex boutique in North Park Dallas to see if they had it in stock. I asked and they said they thought they just sold that morning because it wasn't in the case, but one of the head guys subtly walked over. Apparently the sale fell through somehow and they brought it out to me a minute later. Great first Rolex purchase experience! I absolutely love it and it's keeping near perfect time nearly 6 weeks later. Happy to be part of the club!

Hello guys,
Pleased to join you.
My first Rolex, less than 24h on my wrist.
Thanks to my wife who traveled Paris-Lyon with it yesterday, she was so scared :)
