BLNR (Batman) Jubilee vs Oyster Bracelet?

[rchuah]

Jubilee no doubt (at least for me)

Jubilee, though both are beautiful. My lesson all opinion is that it isn't a "sports" watch. What sport is it? More of a travelers watch worn with business clothes.

I have a Sub with a brushed oyster for sports, boating, beach etc. even so, an oyster with polished center links tells you that it is supposed to be more "formal". At least it says that to me. Everyone has their own preferences but I can see why Rolex moved GMT to the jubilee. It was too similar looking to the sub to the casual observer.

I thinks it’s safe to say it’s very versatile.

Oyster BLNR, Jubilee BLRO

Oyster all the way, for any sports models, imo.

Had a chance to buy either or both... Jubilee all the way. Classy, comfortable and looks right. The oyster with a PCL is a huge turnoff for me as I think it looks funny.

Oyster

BLNR = Oyster

Buy an extra bracelet and get best of both worlds. no need to compromise here.

Personally I prefer the PCL Oyster bracelet on the GMT.

Jubilee, looks fantastic

Brushed Oyster would be my first choice, second choice would be Jubilee.

I'm not a fan of polished center links.

I go back and forth. For the longest time, I loved the jubilee. Now, I'm leaning toward the oyster. I have a BLNR on oyster, so perhaps I'm biased, but I think you can't go wrong with either.

Oyster

They’re both great, but I prefer a jubilee on the BLNR! It feels adaptable to almost anything you wear whether casual or even in a suit.

[eonflux]

Generally prefer oyster, but don’t like PCLs, so would pic Batgirl between those two.

[Ipoy]

I like the sportier look of a BLNR on oyster.

Jubilee hands down.

I’ve owned both and have the jubilee now. Both are great, but I really prefer the jubilee. Another member is right, pictures truly don’t do it justice. I have also noticed a swaying of the consensus; while at launch very few liked the jubilee, now the general opinion is shifting towards it.

Oyster for me

It’s a close call really

It’s funny how hardly anyone mentions the new movement as a reason to purchase. Rolex seems to be all about style over substance.

I like the idea of buying a second bracelet and having both for different occasions.

Agreed. (like week vs weekend or work vs play). But they both look great!

I am pleased to also have a BLNR on a jubilee and it's perfect, more comfortable then the oyster and not a shinny as those polished center links. A brushed oyster is not bad but the jubilee is classy and set's it apart from the dive watches. I believe with the new movement (accuracy has been 3 seconds gained in 5 months) the best Rolex watch is the GMT Master ll on a jubilee that's why I choose to purchase one.

I stuck to the original question but you are right. The 70 hour power reserve vs the 50 was a big deciding factor for me. I rotate watches but when I come back to the new Batman, it is ticking away and ready to go. There are other benefits of the 3285 over the 3186 which to me are an added bonus.
