Love it and can't wait to get the call! The jubilee looks amazing and such a nice compliment to the watch! It's a good thing there are so many haters of the colors and bracelet so there should be tons available. :chuckle:

Thanks for sharing! :cheers:

:lol: no haters in the UK!

of the haters this is my estimation

10% wouldn't buy it even if it was the aluminum colors as they dont like GMT's
20% probably it is truly a color issue that they dont like
20% dont like jubilees and are not open to it an any situation
50% saw the waitlist and then decided since they were not getting it anyway, they now dont like it:chuckle:

looks good, but I will have to see it in person before passing final judgement.... but looks good, thank you for sharing!

Your missing the percentage that won't buy it due to not receiving the warranty card :agree:

:lol::lol:

I think people claim to have principles but when offered a watch they want, they will walk out of the AD with the watch and without the card. Its much easier said than done.

Yeah, deffo, I have gotten over that factor now and my last purchases have all had their stickers removed. Warranty card is a no issue now...

LOVE THIS WATCH! I think they crushed it with the jubilee. The last few years the modern Rolexes have actually done a great job blending the best of the new with the best of the old. I think this includes the Exp II, the Daytona C, and now the new Pepsi.

The logic behind the jubilee is simple. People who bought the WG 116719 BLRO are probably die hard fans. The new release must be differentiated from the WG version, thus the jubilee bracelet to keep the peace.

Either way both are gorgeous pieces, here is my BLRO saying hi :)

BTW the watch looks great on you

Thank you. From the brief time I had it on my wrist I found it comfortable and I happen to like the aesthetics of the juibilee bracelet, but I can understand why others don't care for the look.

Thank you! I happened to try on WG 116719 BLRO yesterday and I was incredibly impressed by the look and the weight! You have a beautiful watch!

I had to fly up to work last week when my AD sent the invite out for the Basel mixer. Damnit.

Beautiful tho!

Interesting, I could not be more blown away by the 126710 after seeing the on wrist pictures in this thread.

Agree completely!!!

Just like every other Rolex facet...the LVC's green dial, the D-Blue's dial, the BLNR's bezel, they all look different and vary under different lighting. Same for this watch, all the varying shades are exactly what the watch is, it will change and respond to light differently. My BLNR's bezel would look completely black at times, then a vibrant smurf blue to even a dark navy, and that was to my naked eye.

This watch will be a hit, period.

I think it looks unbalanced with that cheap bracelet.

I tried it on and couldn’t love it.

To me, it has to fit like my sub. So I’m getting the WG blue version.

Video concerning the ceramic bezel colors on the new “Pepsi”.

Saw the video. There's not that much difference TBH between the new 126710 BLRO and the old 16710 BLRO in terms of colour of the bezel, in his side by side comparision. It seems to me the whole pink/purple criticism is vastly exaggerated. I'll reserve my final judgment for the day I see one in the flesh.

Watch looks ok but Jubilee bracelet does not do it for me.

I'm so glad I don't like this watch, dreadful dated Jubilee bracelet , the colours are awful.

Its a slap in the face to the white gold owners, just wait until someone figures out how to put a modified oyster style bracelet on it.

Thank goodness I have a 16170, with interchangeable bezels and discontinued, they will be making the BLRO for at least 10 years, so certainly not worth paying a premium for, I predict it will be like the BLNR in a few years and pretty easy to get if you call around and can wait a month or two. If you have to have it now then you'll pay through the nose for it but many collectors won't care about the premium and will buy from greys. Therefore i'm sure it will be double MSRP at least for a year or two, if I find one on my travels I will certainly buy it at MSRP, but I won't be keeping it.

Not my cup of tea. Bracelet doesn't suit the maxi lugs.. even less so. Nothing else to get excited about. Oh! The movement! Any info/pics of that? Or just whooping excitement about a previously white gold exclusive now in cheap-arsed steel? With a (humourously) polarising bracelet.

Wow, so much vitriol. This is one polarising watch!

I'll be grabbing it as soon as I can, love the jubilee on it :clap:

I have to agree. the bracelet just does not sync with the watch. I guess that if just keep looking at it enough, I will get used to it!

what a fugly bracelet. Will pass.

Shows how different lighting situations change the colors. They look great in that shot.

Agree. It's mixing dressy with sport, I don't like it at all and even more upsetting why Rolex is doing it (to keep the white gold variant relevant).
