Finally put the Oyster bracelet on the Pepsi

Today finally I put the oyster bracelet on my Pepsi.
I have kept it for a whole day and you know what my gut feeling is ?

Although I prefer the oyster, the Pepsi looks much nicer on the Jubilee.

I’ll have to change it back tomorrow and will put the oyster bracelet on sale.

Atleast I tried !

I absolutely love the jubilee bracelet. I've wanted a GMT on a jubilee since I first wanted a Rolex.

I also love the new GMT style, big lugs and all.

But, the combination of the jubilee and the new case seems, to me, a bit much. Like there is too much going on.

Personally, I love the oyster and think it looks better. Never thought I would say that.

Yep, the jubilee makes the bi-color GMT look busy and flashy. I prefer a brushed oyster.

Me too- not to mention the durability of the oyster over jubilee when it comes to band stretch

Bracelet stretch?? There isn’t any durability advantage between both of the modern bracelets with solid links. Both are constructed using the same size threaded pins. Keep them clean and they both will feel like new for decades.

I never thought I'd say this, but my opinion came around, as well. I still might even acquire an oyster bracelet in the future for the 126710BLRO, but I've grown to love the jubilee for this particular reference. Not sure why.

Thanks for sharing. The BLRO looks good on an oyster. I like it better on the jubilee.

You’ve made it into a white gold look-a-like.

Personally prefer the jubilee on the BLRO, but the oyster on the BLNR, to each their own

I prefer oysters on everything but the jubilee does work on the new pepsi. Kudos to you for trying, I'm sure it will go fast.

Where can you buy the oyster Braclet and how much would it cost?

Exactly!! Would love to have both. Rolex should sell these straight to anyone who can show they own the 126710 Pepsi/Batman

Personally i think it looks like a GMT should on an oyster. Minus the PCL’s. Should be total brushed SS. That option works great to dress the piece down and look less blingy. Then having a jubilee to dress it up if wanted for certain occasions would be the best of both worlds! I hope this is an option in the future easily.

I like Oyster much better. But it's your watch, your choice. I think I would like it even more if it was all brushed. I think the Jubilee is far too fussy for the GMT Master. A pity you cant order Rolex models with a choice of strap/bracelet type and finish.

Will that oyster bracelet fit a DJ41? I’m
In the market for a oyster bracelet. Oh nvm I just saw you were in Europe. I think if keep it a little longer to see if you warm up to it. Nice having both options

It won't. DJ41 lug spacing is 1 mm wider than GMT.
