Jubilee bracelets are cool and refined and they definitely look good on the GMTs, as they always have.

I'd certainly prefer a jubilee over an oyster with PCLs.

OK... i hate nicknames but here you go

the BLNR on oyster is the BATMAN
the BLNR on jubilee is more fancy so that is the BRUCE WAYNE as he wears a suit

If the new Batman is on a super jubilee then I’m willing to bet it will become known as The Super Batman.

If it isn’t then it’s probably just a Batman on jubilee. Or maybe Batman Mk II.

I must say, as much as I liked (and still do) Jubilee on the BLRO, I don't like it on BLNR at all.



Loving the Oyster PCL on BLNR!

It does look super feminine on jubilee.

Batgirl / Batwoman.

I hope this sticks. I hate all the silly nicknames as they cheapen the hobby in my opinion.

Or just dispense of the comic references and have BLNRO and BLNRJ (Oyster and Jubilee).

I admire and complement your obvious taste in wrist timepieces.

Every time I see a Jubillee...it reminds me of a 80 years old in the gym, walking around in the dressing room with his Jubilee. It's WTH and gross moment....

When I'm 80 years old, i'll join the Jubiliee crowd.

But oh so comfortable and well fitted.

I’ve had bracelets removed from every other watch I’ve owned in favor of a leather strap and clasp. Kept the Jubilee on. Kind of grows on you.
