Oyster Bracelet on a BLRO ?

Anyone know for a fact if the Oyster Bracelet from the 116610LN (Sub Date) will fit on the 126710BLRO?
The reason I am asking is because I am putting the Sub on a RubberB and I was thinking of putting the Oyster on the BLRO, what are your thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

Yes it fits. You have to use the spring bars from the GMT though. When installing it, makes sure that both ends of the spring bar sit in the lug hole. It takes a little finesse to get them in. Once installed the bracelet fits nice and snug with no play. Here are some pics of my 126710BLNR (same case as the BLRO) with the Sub bracelet (97200) installed.

Thanks for all your responses. I just ordered the Rubber B and I will be doing the switch to both watches once the strap comes in.

That is how it should have left the factory. Great looking watch.

I prefer mine on Jubilee by a mile, but got a NOS sub bracelet to swap on/off. Honestly the jubilee is underrated.

You can do it but the end links won’t look right, at least I have never seen one that looks right.

I tried my BLRO jubilee on my 114060 last night. I also put my Everest for my 114060 on my BLRO. Fun to switch it up but I put everything back on their original bracelet because I just got the BLRO and wanted to get the full feel on jubilee.

So with the 19 x 1.5 mm aftermarket spring bars the BLRO jubilee bracelet will fit well in the hulk? Can anyone confirm this?

Update:

I have my 97200 back from RolliWorks and it looks great. I am struggling getting it installed on my BLRO. I am using the GMT spring bars like others have said I need to do but am I missing something?
I have been told I need to finesse it but I’m not sure what else to do.
Thanks for your help

I never had success using the GMT spring bars, but aftermarket Yacht Master 1.8mm by 20.0mm spring bars from Everest work great.
