If you’re on the fence about putting a jubilee on your 16710...
Do not hesitate. It feels like a new watch and I won’t be putting it back on the oyster any time soon..

Long live the 5 digits!

Between you and me, I prefer the old style GMT on jubilee. I don’t really care for the new style jubilee. Liked the old clasp better, followed by the SS super jubilee. I find the new one’s dimensions to be a little off. Love the new BLRO but think it’s best look is on oyster.

It will feel like silk on your wrist when it gets properly broken in like this 50 year old oval link jubilee. A jubilee isn't worth a crap until it's laying in a puddle. :)

I’m biased but the 5 digit GMT’s look brilliant

The Jubilee on the GMT is a absolute icon of look and feel. I love the oyster too but when you already have it on your Sub and or Daytona, the Jubilee just makes so much sense on the GMT. Having the same bracelet on all your sport Rolexs isn't for me personally.

I had both the classic jubilee and super jubilee. While the SJ felt more substantial when held, both felt very similar while worn.

There will never be a watch as versatile produced by Rolex ever again.

I do like the idea of this. From where are y’all getting the jubilee?

Agree! I have this model GMT with all three bezels and I have both the oyster and jubilee band for it. I am saving it for my son.

Had my 16700 on a jubilee for years , while the oyster is a great bracelet I think the jubilee just seems better on the GMT .

This is exactly why my 16710 is on a Jubilee. I love the GMTs on oysters but with a SeaDweller and Daytona it’s oyster overload. Gives me some variation in the collection.

Lots of 5 digits look great on the jubilee. Bought this for a GMT I owned...and kept it even when the watch moved on.

Same. I put my 16710 on the Super Jubilee to change it up. If I didn't have other steel models on Oysters, I would've left it alone.
