None. As far as I am concerned the jubilee does not belong on a sports model.

I am not a fan of the jubilee on a sports model but if I had to choose one it would be the 16710 pepsi

[QUOTE=collarcity;9700897]Let's exclude anything with a fluted bezel which is an obvious choice. Seems like jubilees are ending up on everything lately, be it from Rolex themselves or just guys like us swapping bracelets for fun. I've been wearing my Polar on a 62510H and I'm really enjoying the look. It also feels like a great pairing, so white dialed E2 is my vote!

What say you?


Change that to ONLY choice and you have your answer.

Sports on a jubilee is just not for me. It's a dress watch bracelet in my eyes.

Oyster = Sports
Jubilee = DJ
President = DD

Buy a DJ .... DJ wearers know for decades how well a Jubilee wears Sportie only wearers are just a few decades behind ...

Rolex ads a TT SD and its blue murder,Rolex ads a Jubillee on a GMT and its like a drug at the Grey pharmacy ...

I LOVE my GMT on jubilee ... it really transforms this watch to the “cosmopolitan traveler watch” that Rolex markets on their website & adverts for it. While it’s in the Professional series, it is not a “tool” watch.

I’m sure a lot of vintage traditionalist cringe at the “blingy-ness” of this watch, but many more of us (including Rolex itself) embrace the sophisticated elegance the GMT has matured into.

If you think about it, the jubilee is Rolex’s answer to the more intricate and polished (both meanings of the word) bracelets of the APRO and the PP Nautilus. While I love the oyster on my 114060, that is not my “cosmopolitan watch” — my GMT is..

I 100% agree.

The GMT is the more refined cosmopolitan watch. Rolex clearly wanted to differentiate the GMT and Sub lines.

I’m in the same boat. Pepsi for a dressier look and Explorer II for a more rugged tool watch look.

The jubilee will never work for everyone. I used to be in that boat, but seeing the Pepsi in person and trying it on....whoa. I am all in on the GMT on a jubilee now.

Pepsi/Batman may be the nicest watches I’ve ever seen in person.

GMT is the only Sports watch that goes with a Jubilee. Let’s keep it that way!

The jubilee works best on a TT and it has to be the iconic DJ.

Is that a 5 digit reference date just band with date just end links?

It’s a 62510H with 502 end links from a GMT 16710. So it fits perfectly on the Exp 2 as the cases are almost identical (or they are...not sure). Doesn’t fit as well on the 1016. It doesn’t normally look as bad as this photo though...the end link rattles around and this photo happened to catch the gap at its largest.

I’ve sold the GMT I bought the jubilee for...so now I swap it around between a bunch of watches

GMT


to each their own but i dont think it looks good on the more tool-ish watches like a sub or the explorers. At least a GMT isn't a dive or exploring watch, its a pilot watch so it can go well for that job.
It doesnt look bad as in ugly on other watches, i just think it doesnt fit the aesthetic/theme.

Agree, BLNR on jubilee doesn’t do it for me. BLRO would look worst on an oyster.

Hate to drink the Rolex kool-aid but no sports model deserves a jubilee bracelet more than a GMT BLRO!
