Blnr and blro bracelet swap

Alright guys I have the 126710 blnr on jubilee and 126710blro on oyster. I figured I would do pics to show that indeed the bracelets do swap. Here you go and let me know if you have any questions and don’t mind all the finger smudges lmao

And just like that you can pass both watches off as the latest version!

Do you personally have a preference on a given combination?

Very Nice. Is it me or does the Oyster sit more flush on the Batman (BLNR) than it does on the Pepsi (BLRO)?

Nice work Ruly

I’d also like to know if the pins are the same and to hear your comments on how the end links fit looks.

Also, what year did you buy the BLRO and the BLNR?

Thank you

I bought both BLNR and BLRO last year, they came with jubilee bracelets, I am thinking about getting one oyster bracelet when it becomes available.

Thanks guys! Yes both pins are exactly the same. IMO both bracelets sit the same as in flushness to the watches. I’m a Pepsi on jubilee and Batman kinda guy so I switched them back after I took the pics , but good to know I can change if I ever want some change. Brian, I bought my Pepsi in September of last year and the Batman I got last month

Thanks for all of this information and great to see its interchangeable.

There have been several post with interchangeable bracelet swaps but having to use the blro pins with an oyster bracelet (from subs and older references). I never really liked the look of the end link fit in some of the pictures, and there seemed to be comments about the pins not fitting "perfectly" with the bracelet etc.

I'm happy to hear this is a proper fit.

Thanks for adding some practical and tangible experience to the discussions on bracelet swaps for those two GMT versions.

Blnr and blro bracelet swap

I just called Rolex Service Center in NYC inquiring about purchasing jubilee bracelet for new BLRO. This is what they said. They will change the bracelet for you. Keep the oyster bracelet and charge you $2100 for the new Jubilee.

It’s probably cheaper if we can trade bracelets among forum members.
