I own a 116710BLNR, but I wouldn't mind owning the 126710BLNR, as I'm a big fan of the Jubilee bracelet, which I have on both my 116200 and my 16253.

Those who are afraid to wear PCL Oysters should be beside themselves with joy at the introduction of the Jubilee on the BLNR.

agree with you; I have one with the Jubilee coming from my AD next month. I love the look, but would gladly own either.

Had a chance to compare them side by side this week. Both are lovely, but I think I’d go with the Jubilee if only to add more variety to my collection.

Both watches are incredible. I have the BLNR on jubilee and after experiencing the comfort of the bracelet I don’t think I could ever trade it for the oyster. That said, I certainly wouldn’t kick the oyster out of bed for eating crackers.

I have the 116710BLNR and added the 63600 super jubilee. I like the hidden clasp better than the newer model and it gives you the best of both worlds.

BLNR on Jubilee to me is the perfect combination. Correct colors to represent day and night on bezel and Jubilee bracelet distinguishes it from dive watches. I was able to try one on with and oyster bracelet and must say once you put it on with the jubilee the comfort is so much better. And photo's don't represent it well because unless on wrist.

It's interesting to see that some people prefer the 12670BLRO on jubilee, but the oyster on the BLNR.

Weird.... why do the blue/black combo work better on oyster, but not the blue/red combo.

I cannot make myself like the jubilee. Oyster 100% of the time.

To the people that don't like the jubilee, do you like the jubilee on other watches? datejust?

126710BLNR for sure. It brings back the true soul of the GMT from years ago.

Batman Oyster and Pepsi Jubilee. Batman Jubilee doesn’t look as nice IMO.

No need for the debate. We should be happy now we have a choice. I say just get the one that suits your taste the most.

Honestly most of the posts saying they like the 116710BLNR better are those who already own that model if you haven't noticed. It'll obviously be biased.

I‘ve had both and sold the Batgirl. No need for both BLNR‘s, I prefer the Oyster.

Both are great. But jubilee bracelet is slightly more appealing for me coz it commands similar bracelet as President ones :)

You clearly stated in your past posts you passed on the Batgirl. That does not mean you owned it and sold it. You're a classic example of the type of people I was referring to. Nice try.

I could‘t care less if you believe my words or not. Maybe the pic below help you believe.
You seem to be the kind of people who want to be adored for owning the Batgirl and want to hear from others that the Batgirl is as adorable as the Pepsi and more adorable then the original Batman on Oyster. For me it doesn’t matter. I like the Batgirl and it’s a great watch - I simply like the Pepsi and Batman even more.

I think you have to see the BLNR on Jubilee in the flesh before coming to a conclusion.

I must admit, I wasn’t crazy about it when I first saw pictures of it, but that changed when I saw one for the first time at my AD’s Basel World event a few months ago.

It looks stunning in the flesh.

There is no right or wrong answer on this - both are beautiful pieces - I would be happy to have the chance to own either from my AD - obviously not the Oyster now, but you know what I mean.

I still do really like the Oyster but the Jubilee is definitely a grower

126710BLNR. As good as the Oyster bracelet is, I just love the look and feel of the Jubilee on the GMT line.
