Pepsi/Batman 126710 bracelet swap

I have a question that I’m hoping someone can help me with. I have a 2024 Rolex Pepsi Jubilee (126710BLRO). If I was to buy a Batman Oyster (126710BLNR) of any year with that reference, would I be able to swap the bracelets so I could get 4 looks from two watches? I’m finding conflicting information online, so I’m trying to find someone who actually has done it (or knows it can’t be done). Since both are 126710, I’m hoping it’s a yes, but I don’t want to find out after the fact so want some assurances up front.

Yes, the Jubilee and Oyster from the 126 references can be swapped between each other. You can indeed swap them around at your leisure.

Apparently however, you cannot swap between 116 and 126 references, I believe, or at least without some smaller spring bar, they moved the lug holes ever-so-slightly.

Yes you can swap the bracelets. They are the same watch just with different bezel.

Yes, it's doable. In fact, I have them swapped right now.

This is good knowledge. If you did swap them and maybe preferred say the look of a Jubilee on one model that originally get supplied with an Oyster bracelet. Is there any reference to the bracelet in the papers, if you then ended up selling one of them?

Hope that makes sense

This is where the little white tag comes in very useful!

Example:

- 126720VTNR-0001 = 'sprite' on Oyster bracelet.
- 126720VTNR-0002 = 'sprite' on Jubilee bracelet.

Yes you can. Be sure to use a good tool and take care not to scratch the lugs.

Yes. I ended up liking the Jubilee on the BLNR and the Oyster on the BLRO, but nice to be able to switch back and forth.

Buy the spring bar pliers and you'll be set.
