I have always been an oyster fan until I owned the jubilee. Now it would be jubilee on GMT's.

I have a GMT on jubilee. It's definitely super comfortable, but I do wish it was less flash.... See the speedy bracelet for example

Jub Jub gets my vote :)
Yup, the Jubilee breaths better, flows water easier and is also easier to take care of as it hides any marks and always looks perfect.


My bracelet looks mint after a month at the beach. I wouldnt think about taking a pcl to the beach.

Based on your collection, JUBILEE 100%. You won't regret it.

Pepsi on jubilee, it's meant to be and IS more comfortable.

All the others on oyster - preferably brushed out, but that's a personal preference.

Jubilee hands down my favourite bracelet option from Rolex. I’d have it on a Submariner too if it was an option. Very comfortable.

Oyster flies under the radar better but the jubilee is so darned good looking.

So far this is my set up.

BLNR = Oyster

BLRO = Jubilee

VTNR = Oyster

GRNR = whatever I can get. Think Jubilee is the way to go.

For the GMT I like the jubilee but overall, the oyster is my favorite bracelet.

Same here. The jubilee dresses up,the GMT to be what it is. A watch for travelers and people who do business over different time zones. It looks better with business clothes on jubilee

It’s not a diver.

That said, you really cannot go wrong with either

+1 totally agree with this.

And honestly the Jubilee just keeps looking good. I have worn my Pepsi a lot on Jubilee for a good few years now and it still looks fresh compared to what it would look like on PCL.

I am going to say it hides daily wear better than an all brushed ss oyster bracelet on my Subs. It’s a close one as I really put the jubilee through a lot at the beach and vacation and the entire watch still looks pristine.
If it wasn’t for the pcl clasp, I think it’s as low maintenance a bracelet Rolex makes. The jubilee is the “daily bling king” of bracelets.

After satisfying my psychotic urge to have both, leaning strongly Jubilee. Having both is a really great solution though as it’s nice to get the form/profile of the Submariner from time to time. With springbar tweezers, the switch is really easy.

Wearing a suit at this conference with the GMT really overemphasized the sportiness with the oyster, I think a jubilee would have been perfect.
