Jubilee. Classic, comfortable, and more durable.

Biased, but jubilee is perfect on this watch.

I wish I could find a second bracelet that is brushed with the correct clasp

Jubilee. Cosmopolitan watch. Jubilee makes so much sense. Just screams class. Also very comfortable.

P.S. Brushed Oyster is NOT an option

The Jubilee looks amazing on the Pepsi.

I like both the Jubilee and the Oyster but on the Pepsi it is the Jubilee that works the best.

Agreed. What I also find interesting is that the general preference for the BLNR (“Batman”) is for it to be on oyster. Putting ‘comfort’ aside, what is it about the Pepsi bezel that makes the jubilee the favorite, but that does not apply similarly to the BLNR?

I liked the “cosmopolitan” description of the Pepsi by an earlier poster, but that could also apply to the BLNR, imho.

p.s. FWIW my Pepsi came on jubilee, but I switched it to oyster. Still, I like the option of both.

My own is on Jubilee, I’d like to try it on Oyster, but for now I have other watches on Oyster so the Jubilee makes this watch slightly different and a good contrast against my others on Oyster.

Given the choice new, which would I choose? Tough one, do you want sport or sport dressy. That’s depends on you and or your collection.

I can't speak for the BLNR but comfort cannot be overstated. I wanted the BLRO on Oyster and was glad to get it with that bracelet. Six months later I bought my first Rolex on Jubilee. It took a couple of hours to make my mind up on swapping the Pepsi bracelet out. The Jubilee is also a more accurate homage to the 6542.

Jubilee is for DJs
Oyster is for GMT

Even squinty Green/Black is better on Oyster (Have seen both versions in the metal )

True, and I do like the connection of the jubilee to the 6542.
Admittedly, while I switched to oyster initially, I am eager to switch it back to the original again. Not that oyster is uncomfortable, but the jubilee does make for an easier wear.

I put my submariner bracelet on my Pepsi. I love the brushed center links on the oyster with glidelock. It’s near perfect. I bought it on Jubilee, which I also love. But sometimes the jubilee is too flashy for me. The brushed oyster is more low key.

Seriously?? That’s actually pretty cool since I thought I was in a small minority. For the BLNR I strongly prefer the look on the jubilee. Thanks for that update.

The 116610 brushed Oyster with Glidelock is a configuration I haven't given up on as another option for my BLRO, although it's definitely going onto Jubilee this year. Bracelets are hard to get and I haven't yet come across a seller who I can buy. Maybe I'll send my Hulk in for a service minus the bracelet at some point. I'm told that will work.

I love the configuration. I had to use the GMT springbars but the bracelet fits. My sub is sitting on my jubilee right now. I don’t hate the sub on jubilee but I don’t love it either. I think it could grow on me though. The jubilee is the most comfortable bracelet between the two. I posted a picture of it on Reddit and the link is below.

I have both. Jubilee on BLRO, oyster on BLNR. Jubilee is far superior for two reasons. Fit and it actually looks right with PCL’s. The oyster should have brushed links only imho.
