Both look great! Didn’t think I would like LVC with PCLs, but actually looks nice.

Love Gmt2 with BCLs. Would love on PepsiC as it used to be.

Did the bracelets require anything to make them fit?

Agreed! Would be so cool. Although yellow gold and green go pretty well too. Someone did a mock up a while back. Looked awesome imo.

I use smaller spring bars with the BLNR and subbracelet. I think they are the spring bars that originally come with the YM. Otherwise that’s it.

Amazing photography and amazing watch. Make me think twice about buying another watch with brush bracelet. Buy the bracelet for my BLNR and done.

Considering this. Thanks to the OP for the pictures. My BLNR is more of a work week beater and the LVc is more of a dress piece so this change would fit the purpose well. I just have a hard time swapping bracelets from OEM

looks great!
PCL nicely complements the LVC dial.
And the all brush links on BLNR tones down TT ceramic bezel for a balanced aesthetics.

The pictures are amazing but I’m not a fan of the GMT bracelet on a Submariner, even the LV, but I’m a bit of a purist.

Seriously prefer this way over the original set up. Both bracelets look more at home on their new watches. Thanks for posting, very interesting

The LV looks so nice. How does one go about sourcing a 78200 bracelet? Can it be purchased from Rolex?

Nice photos. May I know what kind of watch stand do you use to take the shot?

I did the swap myself this evening. Just because I had the correct tools and I wanted to see first hand what it looked like. I put the PCL bracelet on the LVc first and it looked good. Then attempted to put the Subc bracelet on the BLNR and couldn’t due to the size of the pins. The subc pins are thicker than the GMTs and don’t fit in the pin holes of the GMT. That’s when I decided to go back to the way god intended these watches to look like. YMMV.

Does this mean the LV’s bracelet will fit the Steel BLRO?
