    Did you swap bracelets on your BLNR?

    Looks good, I'm considering doing the same. I have the original Oyster with Easylink and PCLs. A little too blingy and not enough adjustment like the glidelock. Currently have it on Everest rubber

    I thought they weren’t interchangeable. Am I wrong?

    Yes they are... You just have to use the original springbars. The Jubilee bracelet is divisive (but really is so comfy). For me - the oyster bracelet is here to stay.

    So the only difference between the two is the spring bar size? For some reason, I thought that Rolex made a slight case design change to avoid this very thing

    +1 on this, the middle links should be polished on a GMT Master oyster bracelet.

    It is a sub glidelock bracelet - 97200. Simply remove the jubilee bracelet and install the glidelock oyster bracelet with the jubilee springbars (the springbars original to the blnr).

    That's it... You are done and enjoy.

    Sourcing a glidelock 97200 is the hardest part... But keep an eye on forums and they do come up for sale.

    Lugs on the jubilee gmts are *slightly* more tapered than the previous generation. And the redesigned lugs is also why you have to use the jubilee springbars on the oyster bracelet. But swapping them is definitely possible and the fit is perfect. Hope this helps.

    yes - without PCLs it certainly looks more like a tool watch and dressed down
