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 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.

Do you mind telling us how much you paid for the bracelet and where you purchased it ?

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.

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

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’s interesting how some watches just work. My BLNR is on a submariner bracelet and it’s perfection. A guy at work got the new BLNR on jubilee and I just thought it was too loud. The BLRO on jubilee however is simply gorgeous. I guess it just comes down to what sings to you.

I agree ... nice on oyster but spectacular on jubilee. While the oyster is very nice, it looks a little pedestrian compared to the jubilee.

I really do feel that the jubilee is Rolexes answer to the bracelets on the AP RO OR the Nautilus.

Oysters are everywhere by every brand (Omega, Tag Heuer, et al). And those that love “tool watches” love their simplicity.

But the jubilee is next level in bracelet design (like AP RO & Nautilus) and makes a statement (like AP RO & Nautilus).

I think it looks good both ways. But jubilee is OEM, and there must be a reason, haha.
