How do you like your GMT watches?

I feel the de-facto for the modern GMT's seem be going with the Jubilee bracelet more & more, but just putting it to a poll, on the modern Rolex GMT's what's your bracelet of choice?

In steel, I like them in Jubilee and as Oyster, if in white gold. Both are my watches and pics shot by me.

both, honestly either is fine, just getting a GMT is something, but Jubilee depending on which model, Pepsi Jubilee the best by far ..

Congrats again on getting the VTNR. I see you picked yours up on Oyster. Was this always your preference for this piece?

I like the sportiness of the oyster on GMT. I would take either configuration to be honest. BLRO, BLNR, oyster, jubilee are all fantastic watches.

When the BLRO was launched at Basel 2018, it caused quite a stir.

Personally I love the look and feel of the jubilee. It’s a nice change of pace and it’s probably the most comfortable wearing watch I own

I like both Oyster and Jubilee. BLRO is Jubilee. The VTNR and BLNR are Oyster. The bracelets are my preference on that particular reference.

The WG GMT is very slightly heavier than the WG Daytona on bracelet mostly because the case dimensions are different.

For SS, I like the BLRO on jubilee and the BLNR and VTNR on oyster.

I think new YG (full and TT) on jubilee looks fantastic.

I honestly think the white gold GMT meteorite is the nicest looking watch Rolex has ever made.

My GMT is all black, therefore more serious and indiscreet, and looks good with the Oyster bracelet.

Here is my view on this:
- Jubilée = dressy
- Oyster = sporty

I voted for jubilée.

Oyster for me. I don't know what it is about jubilees, they look fine on BLROs but I can't stand them on the other two-tone bezels.

Agreed. But I also have subs so the best looking oyster bracelet made is covered.

Want a modern gmt on jubilee for something different. Have thought about buying a jubilee for my 16710 to change up until the AD can come through.

Oyster for me. The new Griner looks good on jubilee though. I'm glad it's not on an Oyster.

Yep the 5 digit GMTs cover it all.

In the 6 digit references, I prefer the jubilee with the BLRO and oyster on the BLNR.
…as I patiently wait for my meteorite GMT on wg oyster.
