Depends if Rolex will allow that, and yes a Batman Oyster will sell higher than jubilee grey if the current steel sports situation continues. If Rolex allows selling oyster bracelets without watch then don't forget you will be paying a high price for it.

What's weird for me having a chance to compare the GMTs again, I feel the Pepsi benefits more from the added masculinity the Oyster brings, conversely the more confident Batman bezel seems to benefit from the dressier Jubilee rather more.
Weirdly this is probably the opposite of my opinion two years ago, even though these combinations are the same...? ROLEX INSANITY |

I've always preferred the BLNR on Oyster and BLRO on Jubilee.

I am on the waiting list at my AD for a Pepsi, I would be happy to get either variant but if I can choose I would go for the Oyster as I have a DJ on a jubilee so this gives variety in the watch box.
But I would just like the AD to call if I'm honest.

order a jubilee bracelet also, gives you even more variety!

I'm highly doubtful that rolex would allow selling the jubilee or oyster bracelet separately, they have been super sensitive about that kind of thing.

There is no wrong answer for sure. I’ve had both BLNRs and even swapped a Sub glidelock on the BLRO and they all look and feel great. The latter looked best IMO because of the brushed links. Part of the answer lies in what else you have in your collection. Eg, if you have a Sub, then a jubilee provides additional variety and differentiation. Of course, you can always source an extra bracelet (not easy but possible) and have the best of both worlds. The main point many of us are trying to make is that you’d be lucky enough to be offered either one, so it would be in your best interest to let your AD know that you’d be happy with the first available. It’s not like he’s going to order you one, he’s going to offer you whatever he gets in and you don’t want to miss an opportunity due pickiness about the bracelet type. Good luck! |

Both my BLRO and BLNR are on jubilee bracelets. As a commercial airline pilot I love the dressier look and comfort of a jubilee as I may wear it 5 days straight on the road.

Like both but a definite nod to the oyster.

Nearing six months of daily wear with the BLNR jubilee. The polished center portion of the clasp is looking...well...it has seen better days. However...the polished jubilee bracelet still looks great.
Not sure if it's a visual effect or what...but I believe jubilee bracelet does a really good job hiding scuffs and scratches. I cannot imagine what my watch would look like if I had PCL on oyster...well I can...but it is not a pretty sight in my mind. ![]() |

I have BLRO and BLNR both on Jubilee.
I would not bother to ask my AD for BLNR on oyster, neither will ask for the oyster bracelet separately. Jubilee is the most comfortable bracelet, makes the watch dressy and perfect for the office. The whole discussion of Batgirl vs Batman is non-sense. |

If you have the BLRO on jubilee then definitely oyster on BLNR
