I like to mix it up and put the Glidelock oyster from my Sub on my Pepsi... it gives it a more subdued look, with the brushed oyster and that the BLRO cerachrom can have a bit of a matte look.

But, I always go back to the Jubilee... I agree with others — it just works so well on this reference.

Where can you buy the oyster Braclet and how much would it cost?

The oyster would look 1000 times better if the center links were brushed, imo.

Like the oyster but the center links need to be brushed. It does look good regardless.

True, with brushed center links, that’s money.

I agree with you. I also like it better on the jubilee.

Oyster would be my choice every time for the GMT. The Jubilee is a little too fussy but I love it on a Datejust 36 because the rest of the watch is more understated and smaller.

In the market for a oyster bracelet. Oh nvm I just saw you were in Europe. I think if keep it a little longer to see if you warm up to it. Nice having both options

It won't. DJ41 lug spacing is 1 mm wider than GMT.

I absolutely love the jubilee bracelet. I've wanted a GMT on a jubilee since I first wanted a Rolex.

I also love the new GMT style, big lugs and all.

But, the combination of the jubilee and the new case seems, to me, a bit much. Like there is too much going on.

Personally, I love the oyster and think it looks better. Never thought I would say that.

I was in local AD on Saturday and was told it’s not a perfect fit. It would give me the fear doing it in case it fell off 😩

Yep, the jubilee makes the bi-color GMT look busy and flashy. I prefer a brushed oyster.

Where do I get an oyster bracelet for my 126710 blnr? Do I need any special pins or springs?

Bracelet stretch?? There isn’t any durability advantage between both of the modern bracelets with solid links. Both are constructed using the same size threaded pins. Keep them clean and they both will feel like new for decades.

Looks nice, but oddly enough I think I actually prefer the jubilee. Would not have thought so.

I think both bracelets work. I like the BLRO on the jubilee and I like my BLNR on its' oyster.

I like the looks of the white gold BLRO on oyster.

There are no wrong answers IMO.
