Maybe just needs to be oiled or lightly sanded to be smooth ? Nobody complained about the root beer bracelet from gmf or bp, so curious if it’s just the jubilee that they can’t get right?

BP/GMF oysters are OK. I've had 2 BP president bracelets that both had totally unacceptable sharpness issues on the inner link edges.

Those edges cannot be sanded, practically speaking because there are too many of them and they are in too tight of a space. I did spend about 5 hours with felt discs on a dremel to soften up the sharp edges on one of the bracelets. Very tedious. The other bracelet I simply replaced with an ARF.
It is unbearable to wear it for a long time?
do you sell discomfort wearing that Batman because of the jubilee bracelet?

Mine was not uncomfortable where it touched the wrist. It was only a factor when the bracelet was touched with the opposite hand (when adjusting its position for example), or when accidentally brushing the bracelet up against your opposite hand, arm, or a leg. OUCH! It was BIG DEAL, and absolutely required a remedy. And of course the felt disc smoothing polished the outer links which then had to be re-brushed. Thanks BP! Hours of my life down the tubes.

How did you do it?

Every link edge got 5-7 minutes of high speed buffing with jeweler's rouge. There are 6 edges on every link. 4 of them were rough cut, sharp and unfinished. A jubilee is even worse, every link would have 10 edges. It takes a lot of time and pressure for felt to impact sharp steel, lol.

Same as was said by another poster: it isn't uncomfortable on my wrist at all; it's when you run the off-hand over it you can feel the sharp edges on the outer side of the bracelet.
how tight is the bezel movement guys? I had one of the noob gmt batmans and the bezel was very loose.
maybe some of you gmf owners can do a small videoclip on how the bezel works 
this would be awesome guys!
this would be awesome guys!Good to hear. So the jubilee is not to bad? I’m wondering, perhaps they refined it slightly.
please post many pics.

That looks soo much better
You can ask them to regulate it to improve that. Certainly puretime have happily and quickly done this for me a couple of times. But yes, I personally wouldn't accept 18.4.
Thoughts on this? http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5cc312a3866eb/VID-20190426-WA0006.mp4

I would accept 18 seconds per day: I think ETA 2824's (genuine ones) are specified to be between 12 and 30 seconds per day.
I think I wish I had the non-Jubilee bracelet...reason I didn't get it was because that shiny centerlink looks like a magnet for fingerprints and swirly scratches, but the bracelet just looks right on the batman.
