Preference for BLNR 2021 - Oyster or Jubilee?
We have a thread going re the BLRO, but what do you all think about the BLNR on Oyster vs Jubilee? The latter often referred to as Batgirl had IMO a negative connotation to it.
I personally think the Oyster is better, but several of my non WIS friends have said the Jubilee is the way to go, both for the BLRO and the BLNR. I already have the Pepsi Jubilee, so in my collection, to me there is one clear answer. Thoughts? Assume you were in the position to choose either Not my pic btw Screenshot_20210407-185056_Chrome~2.jpg Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk |

It’s a toss up for me. I genuinely like both.

Well my 3 non WIS friends voted jubilee Batman, they choose that even over the Pepsi! So I guess it just boils down to preference.

Personally I’m really please it’s been re-released on Oyster.
Never really clicked with it on Jubilee ( no offence to Jubilee owners who I’m sure are perfectly happy with it) I was recently considering paying a hefty premium & going grey for the Oyster, so this release has done me a massive favour if I can snag one at retail from the AD. Wonder if this will now affect grey prices of the original version? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The grass is always greener. Mine has the oyster, so I want a jubilee.

I gotta go with the Oyster on both! I remember seeing the Batman in a case the first day an AD opened in 2017, and that was the last time I saw one. haha

I think Rolex was producing far fewer blros relative to blnrs, based on my discussions with several ADs, and I think that reflects in the market price. The former oyster original BLNR seemed to be trading around the same price as the Jubilee blnr... Prices shot up in the last week 1,000 or 2 for the oyster blnr... Strange. I think many many years down the line, as in many decades down the line, when we are 100 years old, the original Oyster blnr will be more sought after, for several reasons, first ceramic bicolor bezel, Mark 1 release/the original, very limited run of I believe approximately 6 years, there can only be one first one. I don't know how much of that is going to matter in the next 5 to 15 years however, honestly. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk |

I think the old Batman bigger case and lugs with oyster bracelet gives that look and feeling vs the new BLNR jubilee. I choose oyster.

The Oyster has the bigger lugs in that pic, no?
I go back and forth...conceptually, I feel the Jube is a better fit for the GMT. Maybe because it harks to a time when air travel was a luxury, rather than the cattle herd it is now. Visually, I can’t argue with how good they look on an Oyster. I’d take whichever is offered to me with a slight edge to the Oyster. |

I truly believe the reason that it looks beefier with the oyster is due to the style of the bracelet, including the way the oyster bracelet connects to the mid case, the visual illusion of the oyster be heftier or thicker versus the jubilee, and the manner in which the Jubilee sort of bends right at the case, if that makes sense.
