Which one You prefer?

I have 7,2mil 16750 and it came with Jubilee bracelet with H1-engraving (1983 January).

I thought Oyster maybe better, and was lucky to find NOS Oyster bracelet from an ex-AD. And it came also even with H-engraving as well (400€).

buffy · 14 October 2011, 07:38 PM

I like the Oyster!

PanosI · 14 October 2011, 07:46 PM

I have always my 16710 on a jubilee but i use his default oyster from time to time.
Anyways to ask your question, both because it's good to have options

HL65 · 14 October 2011, 07:48 PM

Great having both- switch them up from time to time! I like the jubilee as it is different IMHO...

Jubilee on a GMT rocks

egzbuen · 14 October 2011, 08:05 PM

I would go oyster for Rolex sports watches although both looks good.

dddrees · 14 October 2011, 08:20 PM

I prefer the look of the Jubilee, however the more options the better.

dricig · 14 October 2011, 08:48 PM

I have both oyster and jubilee for my R series (1988) 16750.
I wore it on the jubilee for about 5 years straight while working.
I found that the light-weight and more flexible jubilee coupled with the small crown of the GMT made for a very comfortable combination.

With my large crown sport models I find that the stiffness of the oyster makes the crown dig into the back of the wrist.

I also like the look of the jubilee on a GMT.

Both, great to have options. But the jubilee adds just a little something extra.

I just think that the oyster is the more classic sport watch look as well as the stronger and more durable of the two while the jubilee is the more dressy.

I have both for my daily wear GMT. While the jubilee is more comfortable and lighter , the watch just seems " right" to me on a oyster.

GeoGio Greece · 15 October 2011, 03:12 AM

On my 16700 I use both.

The JB is more classy, the oyster more sporty.

My preference is the oyster, the JB I prefer on DJusts.

I also use all different bezels and leather straps.

Every now and then, I make a totally different watch !!

jwkunkle · 15 October 2011, 03:28 AM

Definitely jubilee for me!!

sierra11b · 15 October 2011, 03:38 AM

I really like the GMT on Jubilee or Nato with the Oyster coming in a very close 2nd.

skyedog · 15 October 2011, 03:53 AM

Oyster is more handsome & clean - IMHO

Submarino · 15 October 2011, 05:32 AM

I prefer the Pepsi on Oyster but love the Jubilee on a Rootbeer!

Argh....there is that watch again...me want

SLS · 15 October 2011, 09:33 AM

I like having both as it really does change the look of the watch going form one bracelet to the other....I changed up the other day on my GMT and my wife (who normally does not notice what I wear) asked if I bought a new watch, nope just a different bracelet!

I have both and it is a tough call. If I had to make a choice though, I would go with the Oyster.

mike · 15 October 2011, 10:38 AM

I've used both as well. On even days I like the jubliee. Odd days the oyster.

soundserious · 15 October 2011, 11:20 AM

i generally rock an oyster on my 16750

Submarino · 15 October 2011, 02:09 PM

Nice pic!!!

Fin · 16 October 2011, 04:13 AM

I think also, that Jubilee is more classy, but I prefer that more with steel DJ.
Oyster i more sporty and makes GMT feel more like "tool-watch" as it is supposed to be? At least I use my watches just everywhere.

slcbbrown · 16 October 2011, 05:46 AM

Jubilee, for me, but having both is best.

eliwise · 16 October 2011, 07:02 AM

That root beer GMT is one of my Grails - beautiful.

drockadam · 16 October 2011, 07:05 AM
