BLNR 2.0 - Mine pictured below. Easy choice for me.
Jubilee Bracelet is so comfortable and stylish.
It plays with light better too...

BETTER TECH:
Also the 3285 Movement is now standard on ALL GMT's and is a better calibre movement which is really hard to argue.

With 10 patent applications filed over the course of its development,
this self-winding mechanical movement is a consummate demonstration of Rolex technology, at the forefront of the art of watchmaking.
Calibre 3285 offers fundamental gains in terms of precision, power reserve, resistance to shocks and magnetism, convenience and reliability.
Calibre 3285 incorporates the Chronergy escapement patented by Rolex, which combines high energy efficiency with great dependability.
Made of nickel-phosphorus, it is also insensitive to magnetic interference.

I own both. If I had to choose between them, I’d keep the 116710. I have mine on the 97200 glidelock and I like the versatility of bracelets without having to use aftermarket spring bars.

All you will get with this post is other people's opinion. Really not relevant. Do what works for you. That's all that counts. Endorsement from others is pointless.

Having bought my brother the version on oyster and having tried on the current BLRO on jubilee, I would definitely keep the former.

Go for the updated version (new movement and Jubilee is a winner)

Oyster all day long for me, still think that a jubilee looks completely wrong on a sports watch.

I turned down a BLRO pepsi for the very same reason.
