who has both bracelets for 16710 gmt?

If you have both jubilee and oyster, how often do you swap? Is a bracelet seasonal? Love ideas on how I should rotate mine. Thanks!

I have both but I bought a coke and a Pepsi originally both The standard oyster bracelets, I ordered the Jubilee and put it on the Pepsi

Since they are holes cases they are easier to change

Bought my 16710 on Oyster in 2016. Added a jubilee bracelet in 2018 (before the 126710BLRO was announced on jubilee) and since then it went back 3 or 4 times on oyster for a short period of time but I much prefer the jubilee for the look and the comfort. The 16710 is a very comfortable watch but even more on jubilee.

Wore mine on on Oyster for around 15 years. It broke, so instead of repairing or replacing with a new Oyster, I opted to give the Jubilee a go. That was around 5 years ago, and the Jubilee is still on. Love it, no going back. I will get the Oyster repaired at some point, but I'm in no rush.

My 16710 came w/ the Oyster bracelet, then bought a jubilee bracelet, sold the jubilee, bought a super jubilee, sold the super jubilee, and then bought another classic jubilee from my local AD.

I'm w/ Duke 10, it will stay on the jubilee. The Pepsi GMT/ jubilee combo it about as iconic as it gets for any Rolex.

Have both bracelets, and occasionally wear on the oyster (97200 from a Sub), but 90% of the time its on the superjubiliee. Amazing combo

Curious, since you went from classic to super and back to classic, what makes you prefer the original bracelet? The SJ looks cool with the hidden clasp, but it kind of bugs that it’s not the one that originally came with the watch. And I also expect it’s more expensive/difficult to source.

I appreciate the question. The method to my madness:

-The super jubilee w/ the hidden clasp has no adjustment other than adding/ removing whole links. Plus, the end link fit was not as precise.

-While the super jubilee feels a bit heavier while held in hand both feel exactly the same once mounted to the wrist.

-The classic jubilee was an OEM option on the 16710 and I was able to easily source one from my AD.

-The secondary market prices on the super jubilee are stratospheric.

Mostly seasonal - jubilee for the hot and sticky months. I'll also wear it on my 16570.

Something about the Pepsi looking amazing on the jubilee. If I had to rank combos here’s mine: Pepsi/jubilee, all black jubilee, all black oyster, Pepsi/oyster, coke/jubilee, coke/oyster

I have both. Originally came with SEL oyster and when I was in Singapore a few years back I went to the RSC on orchard road and picked up a jubilee for it.

Nice change up

That is the correct bracelet and the end links are 502T, which work with or without lug hole models.

I am more of a fan of the Jubilee bracelet on five digit and earlier GMT models. In the same way I feel NATO straps just look better on older Submariners. The slimmer cases just seem to merge better with a more delicate bracelet or strap. It's why I personally prefer the Oyster bracelet on all six digit GMT Master IIs.

Thanks for posting. I am on the fence on picking up the $1,900 Oyster bracelet for my BLNR that came with the jubilee. I picked up an aftermarket oyster and I think it gives the watch a much more casual look. If it fit better I wouldn't even think of getting the Rolex Oyster band, but the fit is not great.

A 62510H with the “50” stamp(for the 2mm spring bar) on the last link and 502 end links are the correct combo.

Be careful there are standard 62510H for DJ and 62510H for GMTs that come with a 50 engraved and can be used with the 2mm gmt springbars

I have both the correct Jubilee and original correct Oyster bracelets for my 16710, I also have the original Pepsi bezel insert and a genuine Rolex Coke bezel insert.

I'm a Jubilee guy - my favorite Rolex bracelet to wear generally. But, for some reason for the 16710, I prefer the look of it on the Oyster - maybe its just because I wore it that way for so many years before I got the Jubilee?? I also prefer the Coke bezel, which is also perhaps an unpopular opinion.

I have both new models of the BLNR and BLRO, which came on a jubilee and oyster respectively. I bought the tool to let me change the bracelets myself, and I find I like playing around changing it up.

The jubilee turned out to surprisingly be my favorite of the two on either watch, but it's nice to have the choice to change as my mood fits.

Thanks Karleone. I believe we can still fit with the 1.8mm springbars and that shouldn't be a "deal-breaker" right?

I have both bracelets, tossed on the 62510H with 502T endlinks. I absolutely love this thing on Jubilee, so much that I have to force myself to wear it on the Oyster some weeks.

I finally got a super jubilee for my black 16710, have really loved ut. Oyster safe in box just as it came back from service.
I will add that sizing superjub is a trick, i got 2 of the 1¼ links. Even then, at times i wish i could go the last ¼ to make a total reduction of ¼.
But still great!
