Here is my grail. SS Pepsi on a Sub C glidelock bracelet that I sourced. This could be the perfect watch IMO.

Only question is do I have my watchmaker polish the center links? Will that be too much like the WG version?

Glidelock is probably the greatest bracelet option of all time, so it is going to stay on this Pepsi for the foreseeable future . . .

That looks great, brushed oyster is perfect for the GMT.

Xtralarg · 21 July 2019, 05:26 AM

I much prefer the jubilee.

TswaneNguni · 21 July 2019, 05:30 AM

How it should have been,with pcl's.
Jubilee is for DJs .

Jubilee is classic for the GMT model, pays homage to its roots and it works.

I remember 2 years ago when people where salivating for this model.....and they still are.

I modded my 16710 with the Glidelock clasp and love it .. so nice.

FYI the Oyster/Glidelock bracelet fits perfect using the jubilee bracelet’s springbars

Not true, I wouldn’t say perfect. The spring bar size is too small for the end links, however it will still work. I am told it will cause uneven wear on the spring bar holes

Not sure how there would be any additional wear in spring bar holes when there is zero play in the fitment. It literally fits exactly flush and the same as on my sub c. (I also have a sub c with its own Oyster Glidelock bracelet and comparing the way the two fit there is literally zero difference).

The spring bars measure 2.0mm for sub bracelet, and the blro spring bars are 1.5mm, it fits but I wouldn’t say it’s absolutely a perfect fit.

Thank you for this

I really do love the jubilee, but there are days when the glidelock is just so nice to wear. I may do the same if I can source one,

Vince KSA · 21 July 2019, 05:35 AM

This watch looks miles better on the Oyster.

The brushed bracelet looks perfectly fine to me.

Never should a jubilee be on a sports watch, just my 0.02.

It's not the perfect watch though, notwithstanding it is still a great one. Its big brother the WG BLRO with the blue dial is pretty close to perfect though.

Perfection!

watchmework · 21 July 2019, 05:38 AM

I would have to disagree, think the jubilee on this watch is the way to go but that’s just me...and I guess Rolex too

Oyster would serve as a good change of pace bracelet though.

Glad you’re happy with it, enjoy

Jubilee is pretty nice too. A lot lighter weight than Oyster. But it is soooo shiny and flashy I just don’t get that “sport” vibe as much as it seems “dressy.”

I hear ya, part of it I think is the first Pepsi I ever saw in the flesh was a 16710 on the jubilee and I got hooked on how awesome it looks...can't go wrong either way though

I know the GMT is technically a sport watch, but in terms of practicality, I don’t really find air travel a “sport”. Putting a jubilee on a Sub would be ridiculous, but on a GMT, where the professional usage is air travel, it doesn’t seem so out of place. Probably better to call it a professional watch than a sport watch.

weirdly, in terms of a black sub, i fully agree.

however, i think that for the hulk, jubilee works.

As much as some hate it this is by far the best clasp for me I 100% dig the tuna.

I think it looks fantastic just the way you have it. If you want to dress it back up, put it back on the jubilee , otherwise, I'd say leave the oyster brushed.

Using the jubilee spring bars, is there any movement on the bracelet, or does it fit like a glove?

Blue skies!

Fits like an absolute glove, perfect fit. Zero movement.

glamorama · 21 July 2019, 06:26 AM

Have someone ever seen a brushed jubilee bracelet? Doesn't sound like it would look good but one never knows.

hhtwaijri · 21 July 2019, 07:03 AM

Brushed oyster bracelet is the best there is.

Perfect matchup. I wouldn't polish it.

It's funny, I prefer the BLNR on PCL Oyster, but prefer the BLRO on brushed oyster. It's the perfect watch in this configuration. I'd give up my Batman for this combo if I didn't have to purchase 2 watches to make it happen.

173rdabn · 21 July 2019, 10:51 AM

Looks great. Just say no (to polishing)

dafuture · 21 July 2019, 10:54 AM

Looks awesome. Wish I could get my hands on a BLRO.

alljunks · 21 July 2019, 11:28 AM

personally i think it looks much better!!!!
