Icon20 2021 Rolex Pepsi 126710BLRO Oyster vs Jubilee

Hello everyone. I am new and wanted to get opinions on the steel Pepsi bracelets. I noticed rolex offers both oyster and jubilee
If you had a choice between the two, which would you pick and why?

Thanks very much for your expertise and advice!

Oyster is more sporty. Jubilee is more dressy. Both are very flashy in they have polished center links. Clasp are the same on both bracelets with polished center stip.

In my opinion Jubilee screams Rolex. I prefer people not knowing what I’m wearing. Also the oyster bracelet is just as amazing in my opinion. Comfortable, looks simple and clean.

Agree 100% with this for some reason I am not a fan of the Jubilee on BLNR, but love it on the BLRO.

Depends on your collection too I suppose. I chose jubilee partially because all my other watches are oysters and thought I can try a new bracelet.

Make it a poll!

So we can compare it to the same polls that are done...umm often haha

I was surprised but the poll results always seem to favor Jubilee but a bit.

I have a dozen Rolexes and all Oyster until I put three on Rubber B recently.

Can't wait to get the two Jubilee's I order!

Since they are so scarce, you take the one that comes in when AD calls.

Prefer Oyster, as its a bit more robust than the Jubilee.

On pictures I'd say jubilee, on the wrist however, my choice is oyster 8/7 days. I have both for my GMT and while jub was a nice switch, oyster is the best bracelet of any watch I have ever owned. I hated PCLs before I started using them daily. In reality you get a few swirls and hairlines early on but then it doesn't age that much worse than an all brushed bracelet (though I would have preferred the latter).

I like the jubilee but in my view the GMT (while comfortable) became a little top-heavy on jub. For a slimmer watch such as the datejust, the jubilee is awesome.

Good thing we don't have to choose but can have both for our GMTs :) So I'd say buy the one you can buy and add the other bracelet afterwards.

I never get tired of reading this thread.

Oyster for reasons already stated. In time I might get a Jubilee.

Thanks for your responses everyone. Interesting almost a 50/50 decision. Is it just me or is the clasp of the jubilee designed like the oyster?
