Never "Loved" the Pepsi BLRO until...

I saw Alan's (@rolexdiver) BLRO on a Submariner's brushed oyster bracelet. I think it's stunning. If I was a collector with enough pieces/oysters laying around, I'd buy one just to do this with. What do you think?

Yeah, the jubilee bracelet is a big reason I'm not a fan -- oyster looks much better.

Man. I really like it. I also like it with PCLs but I know that’s taboo with the WG version.

I think it looks like a Submariner with a blue/red bezel.

I like it, looks better than with a jubilee.

Funny, it’s the exact opposite for me, and much prefer it on jubilee.

FWIW, I wasn’t a fan of the jubilee look, until I tried it on at a Basel 2018 event. Now, that I own one it’s become my favorite and by far most comfortable Rolex reference

I’m definitely a fan of that look. If I’m ever lucky enough to find a BLRO I’d switch bracelets with my Hulk. I think the jubilee bracelet works better with the Hulk than the BLRO.

You are right, it's looks stunning. Hmmm, I'll have to look for a spare Submariner bracelet.

The Pepsi on a jubilee is my next watch.... when I find one. It does look great on the oyster though. Those pictures are incredible!

I'll be putting mine on this as soon as I get it. It looks incredibly good and gives it a much more "tool watch" vibe, in my opinion.

Looks too much like a posh tool watch, got to be Jubilee (by far) for me.

I think it is strange that Rolex is not offering this model on Oyster in stainless steel any longer...

That is exactly how they made it. Then they decided to put it on a jubilee. The oyster bracelet is the classic look for the gmt.

Its looks good but...the jubilee really makes this watch look better. Unlike the batman, the jubilee kinda makes the watch just okay.

I'd personally be way more interested in a Oyster bracelet version than a Jubilee on the BLRO and BLNR

With current prices it may be better to just buy a 116719. WG

I already have an 116610LN / LV, could I use either of those bracelets on this piece, if I were to ever be able to get one?

GMT should have an oyster with PCLs.Period
Jubilee is for DJs,not for pepsi and the bat persons.

Not the biggest traditionalist,but adamant on those points.
