Hey Guys,
So after considering all the points and most importantly the price , which one would you pick
116710BLNR or the 126710BLNR?
WatchAdvice The 126710BLNR (the new jubilee bracelet is stunning) would be my pick hands down. I’m trying to track one down as we speak.
I just think the oyster steel bracelet suits it's more sporting character than the jubilee so the 116710BLNR
I prefer Batgirl! I have her!!!
Definitly The 126710 but it's really hard to decide between The Batgirl and The Pepsi.🤔
I went with the oystersteel bracelet...as much as I love Jubilee, it only works for me in yellow gold.
I love that a woman is wearing and reviewing this piece. It completes the whole perspective and solidifies how great the watch is.
Well said. You’re very good at this. A pro to be fair. Hope you pump out more good stuff like this soon.
Got my ‘call’ for the BLNR on a jubilee a week ago and I’m loving it.
Good luck with the channel.
Good job on this video. Nice mix of info about the watches (history, specs, etc) and your own personal opinions and experiences. Looking forward to more.
Nic Barnes thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement Nic 😊
i say it again: keep on going and have patience, you doing an awesome job and youre videos are really lovely (trough youre calm nature), professional and awesome! Love it:)
Zanderzone this means a lot to me, thank you so much for the encouragement 😊
Just discovered this chanel and already love it! really good to se a woman talking abouth watches, so sad that it does not upload videos 7 months ago :(
Incredible video! Great intro, breakdown, display, and encouragement for me as I have a 6in wrist looking to purchase the 2023 TT yellow gold GMT. You wear this watch so well!
Dont be scared of the jubilee!
Woman wearing a jubilee?
Wow, so rare to see a lady reviewing watches! Subscribed :)
Thank you so much. I took a break given everything that's been happening around us but coming back to CZcams soon, stay tuned :)
Beautiful review of a beautiful watch ! Comparison details and differences between the two models are especially valuable ! More, please !
P.S. Having a small wrist I prefer Jubilee bracelet ! It is just perfect for me. But I didn't try "Presidential Bracelet" !
Thank you. I'm back to CZcams soon, please stay tuned :)
Great video. You have great presence and you're well informed! I like the storytelling as well. I choose the Batgirl. Cheers
Canada_watch aw thank you so much 😊
126710! Love the jubilee bracelet. 70 hr reserve for a GMT w date is convenient, and dresses up or down better w jubilee. Bought on grey market at Bob’s Watches - no issues. Great video thanks 😎
orso735 oh nice, that’s great 😊 Glad you liked the video. Thank you
The fact you were wearing a Rolex during the jump must have added to the excitement - the fear of losing it alone is a thrill :D Thank you for the cool video
I was so busy screaming that I forgot I had it on lol. Glad you liked the video, thank you :)
Added the 'excitement'? People gets stabbed and worse for Rolexes, there is nothing exciting about people attempting to rob you.
I just picked up my 126710BLNR Batgirl with the Jubilee Bracelet from Watches of Switzerland in Melbourne.🇦🇺Love your channel by the way.👍
That's great, congrats! So glad you love our channel, thank you so much. Sorry for the late reply, decided to take a break from CZcams with everything that's happening but coming back soon :)
My eyes are drawn towards jubilee every time. I love both and the oyster is very nice. The jubilee just looks way more expensive. I love my blnr and I’m glad I was able to get one at my AD.
Yeah there's something special about Jubilee :). So great that you got one!
Awesome. Me and my wife were in Queenstown as well last year for our Honeymoon. We did the swing too. I also did the bungee, and Canon. I was rocking my Omega 300M 2018. No problems at all and took the swings well.
Sorry for the late reply. What did you think of the Bungee and the Canon? I really wanted to do both but chickened out
@@WatchAdvice it was fun! canon was the best out of all of them. Literally blasted out into the valley lol. Super fast and super fun. Second would be the swing. 3rd was Bungee. I've done it before so I knew what to expect.
bber45 you guys are brave! I really wanted to try the canon but was worried about my neck haha Maybe next time 😊 I did love the swing though, I wanted to do it again straight after haha
Nice video di i like your representation style 👌of explaining the features of ⌚watch
Thank you so much Rupali :)
You give some great knowledge 👌 great job
Enjoyed the vid, also LOVE the look of a 'batman' style bezel, I think it works well on a jubilee bracelet, however when it comes to GMT Masters, the non BLNR - 116710 reference will always have my heart, gotta rep that Rolex green ;)
Sorry, I must've replied to your comment in my head. Yep, that's also a stunner. Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching 🙂
Enjoy the video. Is there any way to do Panerai review? I have been thinking about buying my first Panerai 8 day power reserve (PAM915 or PAM796). Anyway, looking forward for next video.
Gregory Chow thank you. Would love to get a Panerai to review 😊
Hey, thumbs up for your Video!!! Do you have a link for your wall watch? (Audemars Piguet)
This was super helpful!
Jubilee for me, that's how I bought it from an AD last month. LOVE IT!
Great teacher! Thank you.
I have a no date already. If I were to purchase another Rolex I would pick one that was completely different. As the Sub has a Sporty look, the oyster bracelet is fitting. The brushed steel manages the scratches and dings of an active lifestyle. The GMT was never intended for a rugged lifestyle. It’s a travel watch. It’s about comfort and legibility in First / Business class so a Dress bracelet like the Jubilee makes perfect sense. The only danger to a travel watch is picking up your lugged from a conveyer belt so a Oyster bracelet is not necessary. I also appreciate ALL GMT’s to share the same look with the jubilee.
Thank you for sharing your insights :)
Fabulous, informative, and entertaining. You really have the presence and personality for life in front of the camera, as well as great taste to match. i prefer the masculinity of the oyster bracelet for the batman gmt. The pepsi colorway on the other hand.....a definite hit on the jubilee, in my book. Any possible plans for the Oris, Aquis in the near future??? I simply love the "Great Barrier Reef" model. Great job
Thank you so much, so kind of you! Oris Aquis is a beautiful watch, I absolutely love that blue. I'll try to get a hold of it for a review. Stay tuned, I'll call you out if I can get one :)
Great video. I think if I had a choice I would get the jubilee bracelet as it suits the Gmt well. I'll get the oyster bracelet for the submariner date and daytona... Just waiting for the call from my AD 🙄 Lol
You have a wonderful presentation style, lovely voice, accent, and your coverage of the watch is both comprehensive and with added personal touches...well done and subbed! 🤗
Tried one on few years ago, in A.D in Cardiff, loved it, wish I'd got it now, probably never get the chance again,
should i need to removing some links if i have the exact 6inch wrist?
Good point to raise on watch theft! Thanks for the heads up
Thanks Randy. Considering how big watch theft is becoming, it's so important to be diligent and alert :)
Did you have any problems sizing the oyster oder jubilee bracelets to your wrist size?
Do you think Rolex will up the size of the gmt2 jubilee bracelet model to match the submariner to 41mm , or has it had its changes with the new movement and bracelet plus thinner lugs ?
Yeah because it's already been updated, I don't see any further changes in the near future
cute bloopers at the end 😄
brilliant video!
Great video and review.
The jubilee looks fine. It also comes with a 70+ hr power reserve. Wish I had some spare change to buy one.
In theory I would go for the newer one just because of the better movement.
Razvan Urs good point. Thank you for watching and commenting
I like Oyster for BLNR, and Jubilee for the Pepsi.
Hi Brandon, I can see that, great choice :)
good one ! A question regarding the bracelet, can Rolex Super Jubilee 63600 replace Batgirl 126710 BLNR?
Sorry for the super late reply. I have seen the 63600 on a 116710 BLNR and since 126710 has the same lug width of 20mm, it can be done
Great video!
Great review. A shame you are no longer making videos. You are really good
Great review!
Thanks Johnny :)
excellent video!! thank you
Aw thank you :)
Great video! Thanks for the comparison! I think I prefer "Batgirl" mainly because of that jubilee bracelet.
Thank you. Yeah that bracelet is stunning! How did you go with your giveaway?
WatchAdvice It’s still going on until 2/12/20. I will draw the winner on 2/15/20. Looking forward to giving the watch away! I’m not going to reach my goal of 1000 subscribers though.
J. City Reviews You’ll definitely get there 🙂
WatchAdvice Thanks for the encouragement! 😊
Nice review good job
iamtarun Agnihotri thank you 😊
Very well done!
Thank you so much
The 126710BLNR is more advance. The case lugs are also tapered so it does not look boxy. Also, the new movement has a 70 hr power reserve.
My wife recently started wearing my sports watches so I’m glad you have this channel to post your wrist shots and share your opinion. These are all very informative. Hope you’re able to post more vids!
Aw that's great! Took a break from CZcams given everything that's happening but coming back soon, please stay tuned. Hopefully you and your wife will find my content valuable :)
Amazing video. Please come back ! 😛
I like very much your video's and the fact that a woman makes videos about men's watches make it even more interesting!
I am looking forward to your next videos! :)
Aw thank you so much. I'm working on some new videos, keep an eye out 🙂
Empowering to see a lady presenting a Rolex GMT Watch, since i believe this is the first time i see this. I like the batman on a oyster bracelet, but my dream watch has always being the Rolex GMT II coke dial reference 16710.
Honestly, the jubilee just "pops" in a way that the oyster never could. Honestly I'm of the view that the center links of the oyster should not have been polished. To each their own though! I also prefer the Pepsi, but nothing detracts from the batman/girl - I simply prefer the contrast of red and blue.
You're right, it's a personal preference. Pepsi is a stunner though :)
Nice review, love your video, not sure if I like these in-your-face Rolex
Thank you so much Tom. Glad you liked my video. What do you think makes them "in your face"?
WatchAdvice Too bold ... here I meant too flashy. Oops sorry
Tom Khong ah got you 🙂
I bought mine from a pretty legit shop down here in California I got all paper work but no green swing tag also got a other tag with serial number , is this ok ?
Should be fine, cant see any problems.
Cheers from Tucumán Argentina
I have my Milgauss and Polar Exp II on oyster bracelet, and this on the jubilee.
would you think about pepsi vs batman both with jubliee
how does the datejust 41 wears on your wrist?
Haven't tried one just yet. Will let you know when I do
Nice review thanks, I prefer Batman oyster because I feel this is real Batman GMT I like jubilee on pepsi
q8yalsenan thank you for watching and commenting 😊
Nice review and the "batgirl" looks good on your wrist
Vincent G thank you so much 😊
I’ve been bugging all the AD (and boutique now) in Melbourne for an update 🤣
I like the Jubilee.
I hope I find someone like you one day 😂
Hi Chris, that's so sweet of you!
I was able to get the Pepsi from my AD. I was offered the batgirl a few times before the Pepsi came it. the batgirl is much much muchhhh easier to get than the Pepsi.
you are lucky one, still waiting for 1.5 year (((
i have a DSD JC AND the new batgirl both very differnt..love it on the jubilee....so classy. im amazed how good it looks on ladies wrist too. Maybe one day my daughter will wear mine when im gone lol. By the way you can get a batman still now..i realise this video is old now, just shows how rolex make u turns
thank you for the video. very watchable and informative. refreshing compared to the rest of the obnoxious BS on CZcams.
haha thank you so much. I want to keep my videos simple yet informative enough for people with varying levels of watch knowledge. Will try to keep the BS away ;)
where is queenslamd .... is it on the east coast near New York?
Hi, Queensland (which is where I live) is in Australia and Queenstown which is what I mentioned in the video is in NewZealand :)
nice video.i have my fingers crossed on purchasing a 'batman' - hopefully when the sept. 1 release comes. here - the rate ( $ 9700 u.s. ) - the watch looks great with your dress ! be safe - ~ JDS/CT
you will not get it for 9700 .. I’m afraid
Think 14k (if you find one)
@@rarebear1411 you might be correct. I just bought my first rolex - a sub/date/black 3 weeks ago. I purchased that from an AD - retail price. I won't buy on the grey market. ill wait . thanks ~ JDS/CT
@@jonathansmith283 Congrats on your first Rolex! Also great mindset, AD is the way to go
@@rarebear1411 not going grey market - not giving up an added 6k - thanks- JDS/CT
@@rarebear1411 think ? dolf, I got a call from an AD today. he told me the 'batman' is in - I will collect it tomorrow - retail $$. (. 9700 usd ). ive had my fingers crossed for 8 months , I can finally unclasp them . good luck- be safe. ~ JDS/CT
I like the Batgirl. I love the Jubilee bracelet. I have a bluesy submariner and a white gold date just and I love them too. So, the Batgirl is next for me :-)
The Bruce Wayne buddy...not the Batgirl.
@@jimlittle5769 If that is what you like, then that is what you like. But, I like the jubilee bracelet on the watch and the high power reserve
@@michaelwallace4043 yes, what I'm saying is that watch is the Bruce Wayne, not the Batgirl. I have the BLNR on jubilee (The Bruce Wayne). It is exactly the way I wanted it. Got it from an AD last month. LOVE IT!
@@jimlittle5769 oh ok. The lady called it the Batgirl in the video. Thanks for letting me know.
@@michaelwallace4043 Yeah, the nickname Batgirl was thrown around when they first released it and took away the oyster bracelet option. A bunch of Rolex fans got pissed so they threw the Batgirl name on it. Thank goodness the Bruce Wayne nickname has gotten some legs lately.
I like the new batgirl
Jubile for sure
Minus the arm hair😂😂😂😂😂
lol
Saludos de Monterrey Mexico
Great video Neha and champs. Batman on oyster has shot up my must have list! It’s an icon and just flat out cool. 👊🏾👍🏾
Hello Niha, Rolex should be compared with only another Rolex
Hi, well I'm comparing 2 models. Do you mean comparing it to a completely different Rolex model?
Batman all the way...had a choice of either but chose Batman in the end. Classic
the GMT is a tool watch and the Oyster bracelet is on all Rolex tool watches , but having bought both .... I like the jubilee as well !
Yeah I like the Jubilee too :)
Hi in my country AD nobody call this as batgirl. It’s called Batman as well second generation 😊
Ah, that's great to know. Thanks for sharing :)
Daytona all day
What’s the problem with arm hair??
Great video. I prefer the oyster bracelet. The jubilee reminds me of the DateJust model (my first Rolex in 1990) which suits it better. I have the GMT in both all gold and in all stainless steel, each with oyster bracelets. These bracelets suits the chunkiness of the sports watch better. Also being practical the jubilee bracelet collects dirt more easily with smaller links. Whichever you choose the watch is a great all round workhorse with very legible dial and hands, fantastic night time lume and of course the classic appeal of a Rolex which can be worn casually, for smart-wear and for business use.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You clearly love your Rolex :)
Man, I want the Batman on a Jubilee. I'd be happy if it was my only Rolex. Can't even get a Datejust from two local ADs right now. Sick of this game.
jubilee for datejust , oyster for dive watch
But this is NOT a dive watch
@@b.peppercorn739 It’s closer to a sub though so his point still stands
really well done and Rolex is not my direction anyway I liked it
Hans-Peter Schneider thank you 😊
Batman for me... I prefer the Jubilee for the non Sports model.
Arnie V thank you for watching and leaving a comment 😊
The new model fits my taste better
Batman for sure 😬
I have the 116710 ...and the power reserve is not 40 hrs it’s barely 24 hrs....anyone else seeing the same problem???
That sounds unusual. Did you fully wind it - I'm assuming so? Suggest taking it to the Rolex Service centre if you haven't already
Has gotta be the Oyster bracelet
I like vintage because the classic is too trendy
Batman or Batgirl? Batgirl for me.💙🤍🖤
Love my Bruce Wayne!
Sure a replacement will do but an original is an original .
Still the Batman. Just a new suit (Bracelet) I refer to Mine as the "Bruce Wayne"
Same. I’ve heard others call this watch the Bruce Wayne and it’s the perfect name for the the watch. This watch on jubilee is perfect!
In Colombia, the safety clasp did of my Submariner -Date not save my watch because after the thieves had slashed my ear with a switchblade, this tool knife was used to snap the bracelet and I never saw the watch again. In Kenya, I was strangled unconscious for a Polar Explorer II. Two gripping situations!
Michael Turner that’s horrific!

I’m so sorry to hear that Pal, you got unlucky twice! I witnessed two Rolex street robberies within a year! I hope your attackers been punished one way another.
This is so nice to see a brown girl talk about watches. You go girl! I have tried to get my hands on this watch and I live in Los Angeles but also travel for work and never found it. #godlitt
Thank you so much. I hope you get your hands on it :)
Good looking watches! Not bad looking woman too 😆
Are you concerned with AWBSS?
Hi Mike, I'm not a part of it
What does that mean AWBSS
@@andrewrees8749 Australia Watch Buy Sawap Sell. Its a page for professional watch flippers with connections to ADs. Also sells the odd fake.
@@grandsicko8580 I have a Sea Dweller I got in 2004,I guess, wish I'd purchased a few,before the mega price increase, way out of my depth now.
@@andrewrees8749 Yep, gone crazy.
Batman for me ..
Good choice :)
Batgirl for me, classic jubilee, great 70hr power reserve, 👍😉😃
