GMT Master II’s Jubilee bracelet to be discontinued and replaced with Oyster
https://youtu.be/a6HK966cSU8
According to Marc Goldberg, both the Batgirl and Pepsi are to come in Oyster bracelet only and the jubilee will be discontinued. He predicted the 41mm Sub spot on last year so should be taken seriously me thinks. If it were to be true, do you think the prices pf those reference skyrocket, considering the relatively short production span of 3 years? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don’t see them switching back on the Batman. They will find a way to differentiate it from the original oyster or do away with it entirely

Didn’t watch the video, but wasn’t this an April 1 prank? I personally would love it

Good point. Would be great if the replace it with a Coke bezel. Would be a killer on Oyster bracelet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Not gonna happen. That would make the Pepsi look identical to the WG version, and they would not do that.

Personally don't think that they would discontinue the BLNR on oyster in 2019, just to re-introduce it again 2 years later, albeit very slight changes have since been made on the newer GMT2C's case.

Yes, and that was supposedly the reason they changed it to blue, to make it more distinguishable from the SS, and for a short period of time allowed black dials to be changed to blue for free.
I don't see any way they come out with a SS one that looks exactly like the original WG. |

I could see them discontinue the batgirl and replace with Coke on oyster, but it seems like such a short run on the batgirl unless they combine the run of Batman+batgirl as a cumulative run and think 8 years is enough of the blue/black.
Can’t see Pepsi on oyster. Getting too close to WG and that would not happen as that would piss off a fair quantity of the existing WG Pepsi owners (original black or current blue dial). Would be poor form |

I own the BLRO on jubilee, but would prefer it on a fully brushed oyster bracelet, especially if it came with an glidelock (even if shorter like the YG42 WG).

i think it might be true, considering the sudden price spike in pepsi and batgirl in the past two weeks.

That logic only applies if the secondary market had any intel on Rolex’s actually plans. And there’s no definitive info that’s been made public so any price spikes are the result of pure speculation. |

People keep asking about why they are showing a clasp in the Rolex teaser ... since that is a brushed Oyster bracelet, maybe that's about the GMT Master II SS moving from Jubilee to a fully brushed Oyster bracelet. That's my best guess.

For Rolex to revert the GMT II bracelet back to the Oyster so soon might be seen as akin to admitting it was a mistake..... When did Rolex ever admit to a mistake..... this would weaken the brand, no? |

I would love to see this, increase the value of my BLRO and have the option of an Oyster specifically for the case.

No way, the new Submariner was released six months ago. Personally, I hope the GMT does go to Oyster, I prefer it over the jubilee. Seven days we will see.

Wouldn’t changing it back to the oyster essentially be an admission by Rolex that they got it wrong?
