Above watch is from Latest batch , for some reason i think it is better than the BLRO as i have it as well . Maybe it is just optical illusion but date , crystal , insert and bezel looks and feels better . Not sure about the hands though !

Give it to me! I missed the batch, sadly.. Just checked with a few TDs and it seems like the BLNRs are now delayed.

They now used the wrong bezel with a lip for the BLNR's.
If you are looking for cosmetic satisfaction only, the CF GMT's are pretty good

So from what I understand, the latest gen BLNR is offered on jubilee only. That watch has the little coronet at 6 o’clock between “swiss made”. That means that the CF version on oyster is incorrect as the coronet on the dial and oyster bracelet do not go together currently. In other words , its a pretty good tell.

By April'21 you can order the 126710 (either BLNR or BLRO) with either bracelet.

I don’t think this is correct.
AFAIK, Rolex is selling 126710 with either bracelets.
I guess the dial with coronet between swiss made and a oyster is not a tell at all.

The coronet on the dial is indicative of the the 126710. They were initially only released on jubilees (pepsi and batgirl) but as mentioned above Rolex reintroduced the option of the oyster bracelet earlier this year. So if you manage to get one technically you can have it with either bracelet, though as per RiffRalf 's comment, that's not very likely ;)

That is correct. I was not particularly happy when Rolex released the oyster option on the 126710BLNR (as were other Batman collectors) as that meant that the 116710BLNR was no longer 'unique'.

My AD then told me that I could get a jubilee bracelet but then again, it still wouldn't be correct as there's no coronet between the Swiss Made.

That's Rolex for you...

For those of you who have handled both the jubilee and oyster bracelets that come on this watch, is there a difference in build quality? Any reason to go with one over the other just based on build? I understand they are different bracelets.

It is mostly on personal preference
