I have a BLRO Jubilee and considering an Oyster.
Would the AD that I purchased the watch from be able to order one from Rolex?
How much is an Oyster bracelet?

Though I have a BLNR on Jubilee, my preference is:

BLRO J > BLNR J > BLNR O > BLRO O

That red/blue contrast on BLRO goes very well with the Jubilee and that’s the aesthetics of it.

Everyone has their own individual preferences. In order not to have this problem, I bought a second Jubilee bracelet for 126710BLRO on Oyster. I still have 116710BLNR on Oyster to complete the set.

BLRO Oyster
BLRO Jubilee
BLNR Oyster
BLRN jubilee

However with sports watches using oyster so much can see the appeal of jubilee for diversity.

My understanding is that if you have a jubilee you can purchase the oyster but not the other way around. Check with your AD or RSC asap as this could change in an instant. And priced somewhere between 1500-2500.

Before I purchased the Oyster for my BLRO I would have said Jubilee+BLRO > All. Since switching to the Oyster, I haven't switched back to the Jubilee.

I used to own the BLNR on Jubilee but parted ways with it.

As it stands for me: BLRO+Oyster > BLRO+Jubilee >>> BLNR

BLNR jubilee > BLRO jubilee and then honestly a toss up for me as I don’t love the oyster on the GMT

For me, it’s a toss-up for BLRO vs BLNR. I slightly prefer the jubilee to the oyster, but since I own a DJ with a jubilee bracelet- if I actually had the opportunity to purchase, I’d legitimately be happy with any combination. Jubilee is tried and true, and the oyster would offer a different look. Admittedly, I’d likely try to source an alternate bracelet for whichever combo I was able to purchase to add to the versatility to the watch.

If you were allocated a BLRO in oyster, would you go out to spend the extra money to get a jubilee bracelet?

I find the Jubilee doesn’t fit my style, so I am Oyster through and through. I personally like BLRO more than others.

To be clear - they are all amazing and I’d be happy with any combination of BLRO or BLNR - wouldn’t kick them out of bed. But if we are being choosy - BLRO Oyster.

BLNR jubilee>BLRO jubilee>BLNR oyster>BLRO oyster. I really feel the GMT's are unique and beautiful on jubilee. All other sports models are on Oyster.....thus oyster overkill.

Question: As the original Pan-Am GMT was BLRO, was the original bracelet Jubilee or Oyster?
