Guys, which would you choose and why on the Pepsi GMT?

Oyster bracelet

Jubilee bracelet

kieselguhr · 2 December 2021, 05:46 AM

Both, because I’ll have both and problem solved

JPS · 2 December 2021, 05:49 AM

Haha, that wasn’t the direction I was hoping for.

I have the oyster on my 16710 BLRO and love it. That being said, if I was to get a 126710 BLRO I would go jubilee for some variation.

Also, if I had a 14060 or 124060 on an oyster, I would opt for the jubilee as well...

SLWoodster · 2 December 2021, 06:00 AM

Why? Are you getting the choice? LOL

You take what you can get. Then this year, they let you buy the other one anyway. So, it doesn't really matter.

This entire thread is a big dead horse we been beating for the last 3 years, since the 126710 came out.

I have a dozen on Oyster, make mine a Jubilee, which is a time-honored look for the pepsi GMT.

As a matter of fact, I have got the choice from the AD

Harry-57 · 2 December 2021, 06:25 AM

Oyster because I like it. I was happy to take one on Jubilee but when the choice of bracelets became available I went Oyster.

Purely personal. Please yourself. Whichever one is right for you is the right one.

vinny84 · 2 December 2021, 06:37 AM

If I were to get a Pepsi, it would be on jubilee. I think it looks the best and it would be different in my collection

rolexest · 2 December 2021, 06:38 AM

I bought jubilee

I have it on the Jubilee. It is sublime! The jubilee bracelet is inherently comfortable due to the design. It also has a combination of high polished middle links and brushed flanks which in combination with the 5 link design adds a lot of depth to the overall aesthetic on the wrist. The interplay of light and shadow is accentuated with even a slight movement of the wrist.

But, it looks great on an oyster too so... I’ll be getting one when I can

DESH · 2 December 2021, 06:58 AM

Both! I prefer my oyster bracelet vs. Jubilee

It could be a stereotype answer, but in my view the BLRO looks better on jubilee

conradwu · 2 December 2021, 10:47 AM

Jubilee.

ltmgeller · 2 December 2021, 11:09 AM

I love the jubilee on mine, its so comfortable.

Tim Plains · 2 December 2021, 11:10 AM

I don't like jubilees, so.

Stan Cooper · 2 December 2021, 12:12 PM

Oyster for me. My 1675 GMT-Master came with a Jubilee bracelet and the first time I sent it to the NYC RSC for dervice in 1997 I had them fit it with a new Oyster Flip-Lock; they kept the Jubilee.

Both my 16710 GMT II and my DJ 36 Turn-O-Graph have Oyster bracelets.

I'm just not a Jubilee fan.

Greg.A · 2 December 2021, 12:20 PM

Jubilee..it just stands out from all the sports model with oysters..

gmtmister · 2 December 2021, 12:54 PM

Jubilee for me. Had a 116710LN on oyster and couldn’t get into the polished center links.

ny_yeti · 2 December 2021, 12:56 PM

Oyster for me, hands down

+1

The PCL’s are why I prefer Jubilee. Also as has been noted, the oyster band has been copied by many other manufacturers; Jubilee, not so much. YMMV

afmars · 2 December 2021, 01:52 PM

Jubilee for these reasons:
- the lugs flow better into this bracelet, making them appear less chunky.
- the end links on the GMT oyster do not sit flush with the lugs and it drives me crazy
- this is a unique reference with jubilee offered on a professional model in the current lineup making it special
- not a fan of PCL oyster in steel.

Exactly the same with me

ILikeRolex2021 · 2 December 2021, 07:00 PM

I have both because mine came on the oyster so I bought the jubilee separately.

It depends what you want or care about. To me, the Pepsi on jubilee is the best looking watch ever made. On the oyster, it doesn't look as good. If you care about keeping your bracelet pristine, the oyster will show scratches a lot more easily than the jubilee. Despite what people say, the oyster with its PCLs is also much more flashy. This is because the PCLs have a much larger surface area to reflect light than the centre pieces of the jubilee.

wuyeah · 2 December 2021, 07:31 PM

I like any GMT on Jubilee. Most folks own Sub already on oyster.

Bozack90 · 2 December 2021, 10:01 PM

I'd take whichever but am biased in that I have the jubilee, part of the appeal was that it was different and I do like the look of it.
