Jubilee & Oyster on BLRO pics
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. |

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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?

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 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. |

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.

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 :-)
