BLNR on jubilee for me. The PCL's on the oyster pick up scratches too easily.

I requested a BLNR from my AD with no bracelet preference and got a call for the BLNR on oyster, which I happily accepted. Up till that moment, I had a slight preference for BLNR on jubilee, despite seemingly everyone preferring the watch on oyster.
The oyster has certainly grown on me to the point where I really appreciate both. My AD told me I’d soon have the option to order the jubilee if I wanted to swap the bracelets. I’m frankly undecided if I’ll go that route given that the bracelet isn’t easy to change back and forth, and I more or less equally appreciate the bracelets at this point. |

Oyster for both BLNR and BLRO. I have both jubilee and oyster and don’t wear jubilee much as just prefer look of the oyster.

I think the BLNR looks good on either bracelet option but I’d go jubilee just to change things up.

The GMT bezel is quite busy. The simple oyster bracelet balances the busy bezel nicely
With the jubilee bracelet the watch is just too busy for me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

It looks like it is truly down to personal opinion although it seems like non wis, at least the ones I talk to prefer the jubilee more (maybe more flashy and maybe the jubilee is more iconic in their eyes which reminds them more of a Rolex…such as the cyclops)? |

I much prefer the jubilee. Comfort is noticeably better and besides there are a ton of Rolex on Oysters

Having had both, Oyster 10000%. Once you accept that scratched PCL’s are a given, Oyster is the only way to go.

It would be interesting to do a poll on jubilee vs oyster on a blnr from wis and non wis to see the breakdown for fun. Does seem like jubilee is gaining traction for wis from what it was before on a blnr. Maybe we are used to what we initially see?

I have the Batman and Pepsi on the jubilee bracelet, but I have to say - I really like the Pepsi on the Oyster bracelet. If it was offered when I got mine, I think I would have chosen the Pepsi with the Oyster....

I love jubilee on gmts. This is after years of wearing blnr on oyster. Much more comfortable and nicer feeling on the wrist. Keeping the oyster on divers.

BLNR on jubilee for me! But if I already had the Pepsi on jubs, which you do, I'd definitely get the BLNR on oyster. Variety and a perfect 1, 2, combo.

I already have a Submariner on an oyster bracelet. In the unlikely event I ever had an opportunity to get a BLNR at an AD, I’d prefer the Jubilee.

My subs are on oyster, so nice to have jubilee on my GMTs.
Makes them feel totally different and I think they suit the jubilee. They are ultra comfortable, add a bit of sparkle, and a little dressier. |

I also prefer the Oyster bracelet as the Jubilee Bracelet looks to feminine to me.
The Daytona in the background in the watch winder looks also awesome. |

As mentioned in another thread, I actually watched The Urban Gentry’s recent BLNR on Jubilee YouTube video that came out about a month ago and he likes the Jubilee better.
Teddy Baldassarre , another pretty influential watch enthusiast also said that he favors the Jubilee to oyster in his Youtube video. He is an extremely knowledgeable and has great style too! Jubilee 1000000% |
