I went with Oyster but can't go wrong with either. Also (supposedly) will be able to order the latter bracelet from Rolex but no such luck for me yet.

If my AD ever comes through for me (I've actually given up), I would get the jubilee. Just like it more.

I bought mine when it was only available on the jubilee. If they had it on oyster I would have gotten it.

Funny thing happened…I had no idea how much I would grow to love the jubilee bracelet in general. Now I’d definitely go jubilee!

My Pepsi came on Jubilee, so I asked for a BLNR on the Oyster. I swapped them. I like the Oyster on Pepsi and the Jubilee on the BLNR more. It’s nice to be able to switch them around.

Oyster for sure. The jubilee on my BLNR just doesnt sing to me like the oyster does.

I much prefer the BLRO on oyster BUT the BLNR on jubilee. The BLNR is so much more versatile, while I feel the the BLRO is much more sporty.

I fought with this choice of bracelet for the longest time. I ultimately went with the oyster which is about as much bling as I can handle. Both bracelets are great but I'll wear the Pepsi with T-shirts and cargo shorts daily and the oyster makes that easier IMHO.

I have gone and forth on this but I have settled on my very strong opinion that all modern steel GMTs need to be on jubilee for me.

I have both Pepsi’s on Oyster and Jubilee (same for the BLNR’s as well) and definitely prefer them on the Oyster bracelet.

Just work better on the modern look they both have.

I do really like the Jubilee on the all YG GMT introduced this year for a full on retro vibe.

Every Professional Sports watch makes is on oyster. I prefer Jubilee on the GMT. It is iconic and wears well. If the CHNR came with a jubilee, I would have that over the Oyster too.

GMT has to be on jubilee. It is so supple, light and fits like a blanket. Too bad I’m yet to receive mine. Some day

As I've just written in a similar thread - Mine stays on the jubilee 95% of time. For me it just looks so much better.
The PCLs on the oyster are too much for me. I'll get them brushed out when the opportunity arises.

I love the oyster but I don't like the fact that it shows the scratches over time. I know watches are to be worn, but I really like the glossy, glassy, shiny mirror like finish on the PCLs. It just makes the watch shine and sparkle in the sunlight.

My BLRO and CHNR both are on the oyster and the CHNR is arguably worse for marking as the rose gold is softer. Just putting on a shirt over time can mark it. My GRNR however on the jubilee hasn't shown a mark yet (although it's only been a couple of weeks).

So whilst I love the oyster, for practicality I'd choose the jubilee

Oyster looks more causal but jubilee for comfort.
