Majority Prefer BLNR (Batman) on Jubilee than Oyster
The tides have turned and it seems that the majority of people prefer the BLNR aka batman on Jubilee now.
The Rolex Subreddit had a recent poll and the majority preferred the BLNR aka Batman (whatever you want to call it, batgirl, bruce Wayne) on Jubilee. Jubilee 60% to 40% oyster. See the poll below: https://www.reddit.com/r/rolex/comme...tm_name=iossmf I also just saw the new Chrono24 interview with 3 star Michelin Chef Raymond Trinh and the host as well as Raymond love it better on Jubilee! This was a great interview by the way and you can really tell that Raymond’s love for watches. https://youtu.be/nf-fhrVBxnM |

Both (Jubilee or Oyster) are equally good.
I got all of them (BLNR, BLRO and SS blue SkyD) in Jubilee but if all of them came with Oyster, I still love them equally.

Majority Prefer BLNR (Batman) on Jubilee than Oyster
There have been numerous polls on TRF where the BLNR oyster model beats the jubilee version by wide margins.
So pick your poll… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There hasn’t been a 2022 rolexforums poll on this so don’t think your statement holds.. My point is that most prefer jubilee recently.

I have close to an 8” wrist. I tried Pepsi on jubilee. I have a BLNR on oyster as it was only available that way at the time.
I like both, but my opinion is that on this watch, the oyster looks and feels better if you a have a larger wrist. I see some folks rocking the jubilee with smaller wrist but it just didn’t work for me. I think my best hope to get a jubilee that works for me is the SKYD. |

The important thing is that you can now have it on either. Choice is good, what people choose is up to them.
Personally I prefer it on Oyster for the aesthetic but I'm putting mine on Jubilee for the wearing comfort. The Jubilee is also a fitting homage to the 6542, although this is more applicable to the BLRO. |

I’d have either given the chance but I’d prefer Jubilee ..

Lucky then that both of those nicknames are just made-up nonsense, so you can enjoy your BLNR on the jubilee without any worries at all!

Same here. In fact I think the BLRO is the only Rolex I like the jubilee on. I don’t think it suits the BLNR as much as the Oyster, and I always find it far too busy any other model with the fluted bezel.

There's a different poll every week, who cares about this, really? Wear the one you want, get the other if you want both.

I prefer the BLNR on oyster. Simply because I associate that bracelet with the BLNR. Now the BLRO (and older model GMT’s) I prefer on jubilee as I associate that with a GMT. Also I grew up seeing that watch on a jubilee bracelet (dad had one). Interestingly enough I associate a jubilee bracelet the most with a seiko skx series of watches.
Yes I’ve put on my flame suit. Haha |

I actually had a choice, held them both in my hands and chose the one with jubilee bracelet. It just looks better, more elegant and classy!
With that being said, if my AD called and offered it on oyster I would have taken it without any hesitation. |

Same here, they’re both nice and difficult to pick one out. But for some unknown reason, I prefer the Oyster. Always had the Jubilee until I had the first experience of an Oyster and it felt better on my wrist.

Um, ok. I see every post you have created has been on this subject. BLNR oyster vs jubilee, mentioning random polls (Reddit, IG etc) and trying to push a narrative of jubilee being more popular than the oyster. Why? Who cares. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
