I'd go with the jubilee

Congratulations!! Pictures when you get a chance, please.

That would be my preference as well. Also I think the oyster looks much more masculine and just more of an all round more correct look for the watch as a whole, but obviously each to their own, also having the Jubiliee as an alternative covers you for however your feeling.

Given that I posted it this afternoon, you can assume it's current!

Just contact St James Square RSC.

I am currently waiting for mine (10 weeks).

Congratulations. If you want it badly enough, you have the premium and you are prepared to pay it, live your life to the full while you still can.

If you want to add a Jubilee at some point it will cost you buttons compared to the grey asking price. Then you'll have two watches in one.

Good choice. The Jubilee looks good on DJs and vintage GMTs, but the much chunkier 126710BLRO looks better on the thicker Oyster bracelet, IMHO.

There's something a little fussy about the Jubilee on the super sporty BLRO, and those protruding links close to the case tweak my OCD.

2018 Complete set on Jubilee vs 2022 Complete set on Oyster, 2018 is $1000 cheaper than the 2022.

I used to be all about the jubilee, but now I'm team Oyster. It's more visually balanced, IMO.

[vdeara]

good move. Congrats!

All depends on your life style. If you are very casual, I would prefer oyster, if you are a casual bussiness style, jubilee please.

Fantastic bracelet.

This just drives in again how much of a mismatch Oyster/PCL is. Oyster only looks right brushed, Jubilee does PCL.

Omega finally reversed course from their 2000s practice of PCLs on three-link bracelets; I wish Rolex would do the same.

2018 may be the Mk1. I would go for it irrespective of bracelet preference.

Congratulations!! No more waiting. Share some pics when you can.

Question: Where are you able to purchase the opposite bracelet? My Rolex dealer said Rolex will not do it and if they did you have to swap.

[Kenny G]

Jube…no question. Save the oyster for the sub.

[bay_area_kid]

My AD allocated one to me last March. It has the oyster bracelet.

After the honeymoon period, I realized that I should've went with the jubilee.

The polished mid-links are scratch magnets and I also found it annoying that it's super easy to leave oily finger prints.

Jubilee for the win

Congratulations. I would have done the same. You can always pick up a jubilee bracelet if you want.

Mine came on the jubilee but I recently bought the oyster. I prefer the oyster.

What kind of watch is this? No rehaut, blue color looks very bright and the hole in the lugs should not be there in this model no?

[Bill11783]

I have both bracelets. Both are comfortable. If I had to make your choice… I would go for the ‘22. Full warranty is key for me.

[rushca01]

I went with the 2022 oyster bracelet. If I ever get the call from the AD I hope it’s for a BLNR jubilee.

Totally agree.

[Bxtek]

Jubilee has always been my personal favorite bracelet. That one gets my vote!

[mykii]

Get the "new" watch, it's the only way to bond with it.

[Banksy]

Jubilee for comfort

[Erivera42]

Love the look of the Jubilee.

[goldboy]

Always jubilee on the gmt imo to keep it classy

[eijiboy]

Sucker for oyster
