I know I’m in the minority as well; but that’s my ranking

+1
I'm also joining the minority.

For me it's the BLNR jubilee

This is still my grail …

Every contemporary Rolex ad for the 6542 and early 1675 I've seen showed them on Oyster bracelets.

BLRO oyster over jubilee, but BLNR jubilee over oyster and both BLROs.

BLRO Jubilee > BLRO Oyster > BLNR Oyster > BLNR Jubilee

I’m fortunate to have all 4 Oystersteel models and I rank them as follows;

1. BLRO Oyster

2. BLRO Jubilee

3. BLNR Oyster

4. BLNR Jubilee

[Laostuh]

Yep pretty much the way you have it. I would probably put the BLNR Oyster in front of BLRO Jubilee. Not really a fan of jubilee on these.

I've had a 16710 pepsi (and also the coke and black inserts for it) for 12 years now - like it a lot. A few days ago was at local AD and took closer look at the new GMTs in the case - they had the BLRO and BLNR - both on jubilee. I have to say, that i liked the BLNR a LOT, and it is pretty dressy (blingy) with the jubilee. I could easily live with the BLNR on jubilee - but my preference would be on oyster.

I also prefer the oyster

[B2 Stealth]

I would brush out the PCL on the Oyster bracelet on a BLRO. Would be a perfect pilot watch. I beat up my BLRO on jubilee when flying for the airlines so know the PCLs would get hammered.
BLRO on jubilee
BLRO on Oyster

Yes! That’s how I see it as well

[JRell]

BLNR jubilee > BLRO Jubilee > BLNR Oyster >BLRO Oyster

[Number3]

This should really have been a poll.

[Hollie_Rollie]

BLRO on Jubilee > all other GMTs

100% correct.

[Mystro]

Jubilee pretty much transformed the GMT to another level as soon as it was introduced. It is by far more desirable and a driving force why the SS GMT models are on fire the last year when other oyster centric models like the Sub LV has settled down in price. It’s also why Rolex has changed how they sell the bracelet itself and their silly requirements on which model qualifies to get a extra bracelet and which is not. A this point you should buy any SS GMT model on a Jubilee regardless if that is what you want and then buy an Oyster bracelet.

Grey market supports the upcharge for any GMT on Jubilee over the same watch on oyster.

BLRO oyster >BLNR oyster > BLRO jubilee > BLNR jubilee

[BraveBold]

BLNR Oyster > BLNR jubilee by a smidge and both over the BLRO.

Totally agree with this. I’m so lucky to have finally been offered this watch. It’s even more impressive in person! Fantastic…

Not overly a GMT fan. If I had to, for me it would be BLNR Jubilee far ahead of, the BLNR Oyster, and I’d pass on the BLRO with either option.

[fly4food84]

BLRO Pepsi on Jubilee > BLRO Pepsi Oyster > BLNR Oyster > BLNR Jubilee.

Without question.

My choice would be BLRO > BLNR and Oyster > Jubilee.

[TheDon2000]

I would say:

BLRO Oyster > BLNR Oyster > BLRO Jubilee > BLNR Jubilee

But that's my Oyster bias.
