I prefer the jubilee. But I'm still going to order a oyster for the variety. :)

I’ve swapped an oyster on my 126710BLRO many times, and originally planned to wear it that way, but keep coming back to the jubilee. It just suits this iteration of the watch so very well, and is more forgiving than PCLs.

Nice pic comparison, think the Oyster does look smoother on it.

PCLs are a difference maker. My wife wore an oyster BLNR and after a year it looked like crap. She switched to the Jubilee shortly after it was released and it still looks like new.

As someone who has done the same. I agree.

If it came with a glidelock, my tune might have changed

For myself I prefer the oyster. My wife wears a Jubilee GMT which is perfect for her.

Batman and Batgirl or Pepsi and Pepsi Girl. Collect both his and her combos now before Rolex pronouns are banned.

In this case jubilee came first so would the oyster be Pepsi girl?

In all seriousness though, having owned gmts with both, i choose the jubilee. It’s far superior in comfort and scratch resistance and fits the personality of the watch best out of the two. However, the oyster would be a better contender if it were brushed.

I am on a wait list and have asked my AD to allocate me an Oyster variant. The practical upshot is that I will probably now be waiting twice as long.

I much prefer the jubilee Neal it just suits the reference IMO.

I owned the oyster BLNR and one thing I couldn’t stand were the PCL’s.

Also, I really do think oyster bracelets benefit from having a glidelock or mini glidelock to achieve a comfortable fit. The easylink just doesn’t do it for me on an oyster. Maybe I just wear the jubilee a bit looser, but when I wore the oyster too loose I found it to be uncomfortable, and the all or nothing 5 mm easy link was never a perfect fit

The jubilee is the antidote for showing wear and tear and it’s miles more comfortable IMO. YMMV

I agree, I am on the waitlist for a BLRO and the Jubilee is so smooth, I wear my daughter's BLNR and it feels fantastic. That said my Sky Dweller is on an oyster and that where it belongs.

I rarely put the Jub back. And when it is back, it is not for long

This 100000 percent... Don't get me wrong, they are all beautiful, but if I have to choose, without a doubt, Pepsi on jubilee, and blnr on oyster. That's the best way, and the way it should be in my opinion

Still remains one of the most beautiful references that Rolex has ever produced.Name:  20191228_160136-01.jpg
