There is a bracelet for sale on WUS and I am sure you could get one here eventually. I'd try and buy it from the AD and you could always have it brushed if you like. I'd try the PCL for a while first.

This is the right answer and the easiest one. Wear it with the jubilee for a little while (it might grow on you), and wait for the oyster to come in. Then you’ll have the extraordinarily generous gift, and two very different watches by virtue of having the two bracelets.

Op, I would enjoy the gift and wear it in good health, see how the oyster bracelet feels on you? You may like it after all? You can always buy a jubilee later or some other bracelet rubber in green/black mix it up. No drama or exchanges or bad feelings.
This is a very nice gesture and it should be valued. |

Walk into any gray with a brand new jubilee bracelet and ask to swap for a brand new oyster.
They will probably do it on the spot and you’ll be on your way in 10 minutes. A jubilee is worth more to them in dollar value. I bought this watch on jubilee but have switched it to oyster, I actually prefer it on oyster so I get where you are coming from. I suggest you wear it for a while then see how you feel. You might be pleasantly surprised. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What a kind gift! You are blessed. Buy the oyster bracelet and then you’ll have the option of wear both as they are a simple task to swap out. I do this with my Skydweller and I also have a super Jubilee that I sometimes swap with my other references on oyster.

Extremely generous gift. Accept the gift and give it some solid time on the wrist (30 days or so). You may find that by giving the jubalee a chance you actually love it. If not keep and and purchase the oyster separately. The watch you had hoped to buy is now being gifted so spending a little $$ on a dif bracelet shouldn't be a big deal. Enjoy!

I am amazed at the things people complain about. Your STEPfather bought you the watch you want, with probably a better bracelet. And you’re looking to get out of the deal. Buy what you like and want. Happily and gratefully accept what you are given.
If he won’t know, then swap the bracelet. I feel bad for him, getting you something you really want, and clearly do not desire. “DADDY!!!! I wanted the convertible Ferrari! Not the hard top!”. Puke. |

Such a fantastic gift! How about wearing the watch for a while and later consider getting a second bracelet? I'd love to have this 'problem.'

As other have stated above, try the Jubilee for a bit as it may grow on you...
My VTNR came on Oyster but I wanted some versatility because my other pieces also had Oyster bracelets, so I ordered a Jubilee (got lucky I guess). The way it catches / reflects light, its comfort level and the fact I don't have to worry about scratching the polished center links, has it seeing the majority of time on the piece.

Buy an additional oyster bracelet. Problem solved. Pretty sure you could order one from Rolex AE or RSC

I know the in-laws are always a source of trouble, but this is taking it to new levels!

If OP’s post had been the following, I would have agreed with you: “Dear fellow Rolex (rich) enthusiasts. I have a problem. My father in-law gifted me six solid gold Rolexes. This upset me!! Everyone knows there are seven days in the week. Wearing the same watch twice in a week is for commoners. I’m now wondering if his daughter is in my league (probably not). What should I do?” |

Just buy the spare bracelet from RSC or ask your family members AD to order it for you. It’s a gift and you were already willing to spend the money on the watch. An extra 1-2k for the bracelet is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks to all for your replies. VTNR arrived today, my first GMT, it's a real pleasure. I've always been an "oyster guy" but will wear it on the jubilee for a while since my stepfather is a "jubilee guy" and it will remind me of him. Looking forward to trying it on my left and right to see which I end up preferring.
It's a bit tight and will need 1-2 extra links, but I was able to obtain a 97200A (ss brushed/sub bracelet w glidelock) from my AD, which I may try some time later on. VTNR shown here near some local "art" near my place of work in major metro inner city neighborhood. |

Only question now is can you get this watch insured in Tanzania - I seem to recall your country does have some real issues with street crime….. |
