+1
I'm also joining the minority.

Every contemporary Rolex ad for the 6542 and early 1675 I've seen showed them on Oyster bracelets.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

I’m fortunate to have all 4 Oystersteel models and I rank them as follows;

1. BLRO Oyster

2. BLRO Jubilee

3. BLNR Oyster

4. BLNR Jubilee

Yep pretty much the way you have it. I would probably put the BLNR Oyster in front of BLRO Jubilee. Not really a fan of jubilee on these.

I've had a 16710 pepsi (and also the coke and black inserts for it) for 12 years now - like it a lot. A few days ago was at local AD and took closer look at the new GMTs in the case - they had the BLRO and BLNR - both on jubilee. I have to say, that i liked the BLNR a LOT, and it is pretty dressy (blingy) with the jubilee. I could easily live with the BLNR on jubilee - but my preference would be on oyster.
