JJ -- A Jubilee bracelet -- Great suggestion! I recall buying my first GMT back in the early 90's at the local AD and seeing them both ways in the case. In fact, that gives me a reason to look for the Coke bezel and have one with the Oyster and the other with the Jubilee!!

Louie: I know the Jubilee on a GMT goes back quite a few years. Rolex doesn't publish nice catalogs like other watch manufactures. After all, they can be cheap in this regard when they have a captive audience.

I have two of their brochures, one from 7/1999 and the other from 10/2000 and they both picture a GMT II with a Jubilee bracelet.

Either way, it would look nice and be classic.
