Pepsi on Jubilee or Oyster PCL

Preference now in 2022 for a new 126710 Pepsi on Jubilee or Oyster PCL?

P.S. Brushed Oyster is NOT an option

Self appointed Mods.

Yeah. They're everywhere. Not important though.

Either. Oyster for the look, Jubilee for the wearing comfort - not that the Oyster is actually uncomfortable, but the Jubilee is in another league.

Get it on oyster and buy a super jubilee (63600) to swap around form time to time - the hidden clasp makes it well rounded. This new jubilee bracelet with the huge clasp ruins the flow of the bracelet

Mine came on a jubilee and I recently purchased an oyster bracelet. I like the oyster better.

I happen to have both bracelets. That is the correct answer.

Pepsi on Jubilee or Oyster PCL

I agree with mario1971 and Harry-57 both look stunning but there is a slight comfort advantage over the oyster.
When on the wrist the jubilee stays put while the oyster due to it being a bit heavier needs to be worn a bit tighter on the wrist to have it stay put other than that I love them both.

Oyster for the classic look.
Also because I don't think the back of the jubilee bracelet matches the clasp that well. It looks off from my POV.

Interesting most people prefer the jubilee. When this came out, there was so much backlash. Now that it’s available on both, people prefer the jubilee.

Agreed. What I also find interesting is that the general preference for the BLNR (“Batman”) is for it to be on oyster. Putting ‘comfort’ aside, what is it about the Pepsi bezel that makes the jubilee the favorite, but that does not apply similarly to the BLNR?

I liked the “cosmopolitan” description of the Pepsi by an earlier poster, but that could also apply to the BLNR, imho.

p.s. FWIW my Pepsi came on jubilee, but I switched it to oyster. Still, I like the option of both.

I can't speak for the BLNR but comfort cannot be overstated. I wanted the BLRO on Oyster and was glad to get it with that bracelet. Six months later I bought my first Rolex on Jubilee. It took a couple of hours to make my mind up on swapping the Pepsi bracelet out. The Jubilee is also a more accurate homage to the 6542.

True, and I do like the connection of the jubilee to the 6542.
Admittedly, while I switched to oyster initially, I am eager to switch it back to the original again. Not that oyster is uncomfortable, but the jubilee does make for an easier wear.
