I’ve enjoyed following this thread. So today I swapped out the jubilee bracelet from my BLNR with the brushed oyster bracelet from my Subc. Here are some pictures....

Oyster.

I prefer the look of the Oyster on the BLNR however, I have it on SJ bracelet for comfort.

I started searching for a Blnr shortly after the shortage began, poor timing I know. At the time, it was the original oyster version. When it was discontinued in favor of the jubilee, I was disappointed as I never really cared for the jubilee look.

Prices really moved up on the secondary market, so I continue to wait. However, I must say the jubilee has been growing on me. My other watch is an SD4K, so I feel the jubilee offers some variety to my collection. I'm leaning towards that version now and would be thrilled if a local AD could make it happen. I've put my name on a few lists, but don't have high hopes

I think they both look good, but I prefer the look of the oyster, but prefer the comfort of the jubilee.

If I had to choose, it would be the jubilee.

Both equal nice. If I had to choose right now probably jubilee but only because my watch is on oyster. If I would own a jubilee I would choose oyster.

I am personally a fan of the oyster over jubilee, it just feels more solid on the wrist. Also might have something to do with the fact that i have very large wrists, but that's just my take on it.

New Batman with Jubilee bracelet and new 70 hour movement. It just makes sense blue for day, black for night, jubilee bracelet is to comfortable to describe and separates this watch from the dive watches, everything about it is perfect. The polished center links are to much of a scratch magnet and just to shiny.

Ok, I prefer the Oyster bracelet but not picky :) I have Sub C with Oyster and seems like the Jubilee fits more comfortably. I am hoping to find either of the two in next 6 months.

I wish Rolex would make the GMT Master ll with a brushed Jubilee bracelet, that would be prefect.

This has been discussed numerous times
I’d go with oyster on Batman and jubilee on Pepsi

I have a Submariner and BLNR Jubilee. I haven't had any hands on experience with BLNR Oyster.

The look of the Jubilee took a while to get used to.

For me, it's more comfortable and light than the oyster bracelet.

If you care about being noticed, the jubilee will be noticed across the room as a Rolex (arguably more easily noticed than cyclops). As your wrist moves, the polished links definitely catch the light and your attention.

The only downside I foresee is bracelet adjustment/flexibility. So far, I haven't needed to adjust it since picking it up at the store. The easylink extension has been sufficient. If I did need to adjust the bracelet larger than easylink provides, I would need to purchase extra links - but with the Submariner, I have much more flexibility.

I'm pretty confident in the resilience of the BLNR Jubilee - I even wear it when washing dishes. I can easily imagine this being my daily driver for next 20 years if I could only have one watch. I've begun to wonder what it might look like down the line. :)

Having both the Rootbeer (on Oystersteel) & Batgirl (on Jubilee), I have to admit the Batgirl is more comfortable for my small wrist. It also looks more dressy & classy!

I have my BLNR on an Oyster. Its been brushed as I didn't like the PLC because I felt it was too blingy. Im not a fan of Jubilee bracelet on a mans watch, at least for me. Too glitzy, blingy. Jubilee look better on a woman timepiece.
