Jubilee or not? What bracelet is best.

I believe that each has its place and the jubilee is best for GMT and DateJust.

If you have other sport watches on oyster, I’d definitely mix it up and get a jubilee.

I have a vintage GMT on jubilee (16750) but no modern on jubilee. Hopefully that changes this year.

I agree. Jubilee for GMT and DJ. Oyster for Sub, Explorer, OPs…

I love oyster on my subs, it really suits the watch. However on GMT and datejust it’s nice to have jubilee.

The Oyster is a comfortable bracelet. The Jubilee is more comfortable still. Which goes best with what watch is in the eye of the owner.

I like both. Jubilee is somewhat more comfortable but "catches" my hair more often too!

Both so you can have 2 watches in 1.

I bought my BLRO with the oyster bracelet last year and immediately put on the jubilee and wore it like that for about a year. Loved it.

Few weeks ago I put oyster on. Completely different watch and feels like a new piece. Oyster bracelet looks a bit more refined and classy with the polished center links.

Jubilee is slightly more comfortable and prefer it on DJs. I prefer Oyster on all of the sport models including the GMT.

Jubilee on any GMT is best. Especially if you are like me and only like the Rolex sports models.

Jubilee on my GMTs--so comfortable when on an airline trip I rarely take my watch off. Oyster on my divers--brushed; Oyster with PCLs on blue dialed Sky-Dweller pops and gives it more of a masculine look!

Very subjective thing. Both are great but agree with the above comments about Jubilee on more business watches (GMT, DJ etc) and oyster (preferably brushed and not PCL) on watches designed for the outdoors like the Sub and Explorer.

As stated it is about the watch that works best with the bracelet. DJ and GMT look best to me on the jubilee. The Sky-Dweller is a toss up and I prefer dive watches on the oyster.

It’s all personal taste, so super subjective.

For me the GMT is as follows

BLRO - jubilee
BLNR - Oyster
LN - Oyster
