BLNR Jubilee vs Oyster
Which BLNR model do you think ADs get the most inquiries for? Batman or Batgirl. I understand that these are very hard to get and customer would take either or.
But genuinely, which bracelet do you all think the ADs get asked for more… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Depends on model, as Pepsi and SkyD is generally Jubilee, whereas Batman is Oyster.

The BLRO Pepsi is Pepsi regardless of bracelet being oyster, jubilee, or strap.
The BLNR Batman is Batman for the same reasons. |

I’ve tried on both and without a doubt the Jubilee is far superior .. but that’s just my opinion, I suggest trying both for yourself ..

There's a popular opinion among the community that the Batman should be on the oyster and the jubilee belongs on the Pepsi.
Personally, I bought the BLNR on a jubilee. IMO it's more comfortable and I prefer it being a little dressier. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk |

I prefer GMTs on jubilee. It's traveler's watch and can be more dressier.

I love that you don't have to worry about seeing scratches on a jubilee compared to the oyster on the GMT. Plus it makes it unique in the sports watch line of Rolex.

On the BLNR it seems that a lot of people in my area prefer it on the Oyster. I prefer it on the Jubilee. There might be a correlation between how many watches are in a collection and which bracelet is chosen. As a one or two watch collector the Oyster seems to be more prevalent, in a larger collection the jubilee makes an appearance.

The demand has appeared to change, BLNR on jubilee is in more of a demand. At least at my AD and online opinions. It is more historic with GMTs, it has the shortest production so far between the 2 as the 116710 only had oyster. The PCLs are scratch magnets. GMT is the only current sports model that has a jubilee option. In a collection it separates it more from the subs. Jubilee is also more comfortable in my experience. Sport and dress, and true travelers watch.

You don't "request" a BLNR. You may be "allocated" one after 40k spend.

BLNR Jubilee vs Oyster
I’d say the oyster gets more requests here on account of its more masculine vibe.
Though Having just installed a jubilee bracelet on my sky-dweller, I’m probably never going back to an oyster bracelet if the model has a jubilee option. It is really that much more comfortable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Put my request in when the BLNR came on Jubilee only.
So ....... Jubilee it is. I feel the poll is accurate. I postulate people who are now requesting a GMT II BLNR would already own another professional model (e.g. Submariner) on oyster. The Jubilee is different. It makes the BLNR more versatile in dressing up/down. It is that much more comfortable. It is less of a scratch magnet. And what other professional model comes on Jubilee? In reality, most people take what they can get! |

I think it would depend on what else is in your collection. I went jubilee because I had other options on oyster already, so I liked having something different in the mix. If I was a one watch guy, I'd probably go Oyster since I feel it can be dressed up or down better.

For me, only the Jubilee suits the Pepsi BLRO. Everything else on Oyster.

I see the opposite logic of BLRO on jubilee and BLRN on Oyster. The BLRO is playful, colorful, doesn’t need any more attention and is more sport than dress. The BLNR is more understated, more conservative, more dress with a pop of color to make it also sport. I know people would wear the Pepsi with a suit, but I couldn’t pull that off. The BLNR with a suit makes so much more sense to me. Therefore if one should have the jubilee, to me it is the BLNR. That said, I prefer the jubilee on both of them, plenty of other sports watches on oyster.

I have the BLNR on Jubilee and love it it. It is the only Rolex I have on a jubilee bracelet so that makes it a nice change in the collection.
I do not like the PCL on steel oyster bracelets so would not want that on my BLNR. However I do love the oyster bracelet and perfection for me would be a BLNR on a fully brushed oyster bracelet. Perhaps that’s why my JC DSSD gets so much wrist time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I feel like a lot of you would fail any standardized testing…. I asked which model do you all think ADs get more. Not your preferences….
