Jubilee & Oyster on BLRO pics

[thesharkfactor]

I had the opertunity to try an Oyster bracelet (from a BLNR) on my GMT BLRO.

Verdict; I prefer the look of the Jubilee when it's on the wrist, but it looks better on Oyster in pictures?

It's a different watch altogether on either bracelet.

Oyster for me

Oyster for me.

[brandrea]

Jubilee by a mile for me.

Much more comfortable, shows less signs of wear

I’ve owned this since Dec 2018, and it looks like new

I've had mine on Oyster with PCLs, Oyster from my 116610, and Jubilee. Jubilee wins.

It looks less bulky on the Jubilee. The Oyster bracelet makes the super case lugs look thicker.

I think it looks great on both personally. Glad you had the chance to try it out for yourself. I remember we both received ours right around the same time in 2021 right? Mine came on the oyster and I had my AD order the jubilee a couple months later. The swapping back and forth was fun for a bit but the comfort of the jubilee won me over. So are you thinking of switching to oyster for a while to see if you like it better?

Yes, think you are onto something, the watch case does appear slimmer on the Jubilee!

April/May 21 I think it was. This bracelet belongs to my brother, he's put a RubberB on his BLNR and gave me his Oyster to try. I've got my own watch back on Jubilee which I prefer.

I do like the how the Oyster feels in hand with the additional weight it has.
I like how the watch feels more solid on the Oyster too.

I prefer the busier/dressy look of the Jubilee and it's more comfortable.
Somehow, the bezel and it's colours 'pop' more with the Jubilee bracelet as well.

Really can't go wrong with either but I like this watch best on Jubilee.

Oyster gives it more wrist presence and a sportier look.
Jubilee does wear slimmer, more dressy and more comfortable from my experience.

Both are great. I mostly wear oyster, but worth having both.

I think it looks better on the jubilee in pics and IRL…regardless which GMT reference it is.

I think oyster looks more cohesive. Love both but would go for Oyster personally. Weirdly I would go the opposite for the Sprite which only works on Jubilee for me.

BLRO is Jubilee and BLNR is Oyster for me. Years ago I bought a Super Jubilee to put on the BLNR, but never put it on.

I have owned the WG BLRO on Oyster and it looked great while I had it. Now I have the BLRO on Jubilee and it looks and wears great. I prefer the SS on Jubilee for both fit and wear. I do like shinny and colorful watches and this fits the bill.

lovely pic.

Agreed!! Both have their place and both have a completely different look and feel. I’m an Oyster guy at heart, now that I have both, I’m certain that the Oyster will get most of the time out of the safe but for dinners and events, it will be the Jubilee. Might not be worth the investment or trouble to acquire one for some, but it is a very nice option if you have both :-)

[worldofoyster]

The jubilee definitely looks dressier, it also looks a little filmy. on the other hand, the oyster looks sporty and balance the watch.

I am a big oyster fan but love the BLRO on jubilee. Agree with OP, the watch looks nicer on oyster in the pics but on the wrist definitely the jubilee takes the cake!

[Max7857]

I prefer the Oyster. I have GRNR on jubilee so I could easily swap out the bracelets but so far have not found the need to do so.

[Praise567]

Nice one.

[Deep18]

Love it on jubilee. I prefer a fully brushed oyster bracelet to one with PCLs.

This mostly sums it up for me. I had the option of both. Originally I picked the oyster 126710 BLRO. Most of my prior watches had been oyster. After a couple years, I had changed my mind. Needed the jubilee bracelet.

The polished center links are the way the jubilee was always designed so it looks more traditional with the center polished and as mentioned, the smaller center links hide scratches.
I do think the oyster with PCL looks fine on my Daytona but seems like too much on the BLRO and it also doesn’t seem different enough switching around the watches. My matte dial Pepsi looks perfect on the oyster and might look too dressy on a jubilee for me.

Both are great; look great, feel great, whole nine yards. Having the ability to change the bracelets is part of what separates the GMT from the Sub and Daytona, IMO. My bracelet preference wavers depending on the day.

[prnceofpersia23]

Looks great on oyster, but it's perfect on the jubilee.

[David5807]

The jubilee on the Pepsi just works so well.

[obywan]

The jubilee bracelet looks fantastic on any GMT watch, but it shines the most on the BLRO.

[Farran]

Looks great with the Oyster bracelet, but I prefer it on Jubilee.

[Mystro]

There is a little Jubilee:

[cdmorenot]

To me, the answer is always Oyster!

I have been warming up to Jubilee but only on the GRNR
