INCOMING 126710BLRO on Oyster (PIC HEAVY)

Hi TRF- friends;

Got the call yesterday from my AD- that they had a 126710 on Oyster in for me.

When this watch was introduced, I expressed interest as I wanted to have both the Mark 1 & Mark III bezel. My BLRO Jubilee was purchased in June 2018 and Oyster now May 2021.

There a few differences aside from the bezel color, the oyster font also looks more crisp & bright in person. The lugs and case on the oyster also feels different and more comfortable on the wrist.

Please let me know if y'all have any questions- I would be more than happy to answer any questions.

Congrats on the pickup! Great side by side shot, it really does a great job showing the difference in the end links and how much more seamlessly the Oyster integrates with the case. I still love the Jubilee though for its comfort and the way it reflects the light.

How will you decide which days are Oyster and which are Jubilee, flip a coin? :-)

Great side by side comparison. Just 2 questions:
1. Does the new model come with anti-reflective treatment on the crystal?
2. Are the bracelets interchangeable?

the Oyster is so much cleaner, the jubilee just makes it to busy to read...

Oyster for the win. Both are nice, but Oyster is my choice.

I’m still waiting to acquire the new Pepsi from the AD.

Congratulations on the pick up and piecing together a pair! Looks incredible in oyster bracelet, just wowww

Would love to see more pics comparing the lugs when you have some free time (if this watch ever comes off your wrist). Could not tell anything different from these pics so far.

Love it - but love the jubilee the most. Belongs on jubilee, separates from other sports watches and designed for air travel with a touch of class! Would save the oyster for the sub and Daytona. Get the idea of saving jubilee for the datejust, but found out I am not a datejust guy after owning one, so is my chance to get the jubilee.

Very nice to have both! Congrats!
For the ones asking these are the exact same watch apart from the bracelet (and the different MK bezel) so yes they are interchangeable and the lugs are the same.

Thank you everyone for your kind words-

1. The fonts are definitely different
2. My eyes might be playing tricks on me- in my opinion the lugs are more tapered….
