I can’t stop touching it...

The Jubilee bracelet on my Pepsi of course!

This bracelet far exceeds any expectations I had for it. Especially now that the links are solid and you don’t have to worry about it stretching I find this bracelet to be plenty robust, hides scratches, looks professional and feels so damn comfortable! Sometimes I find myself taking the watch off just to play with the bracelet. A little weird, maybe but this totally makes the Pepsi imo!

I agree that the bracelet is exceptional but don't think the watch relies on it for its greatness.

And make no mistake! The new Pepsi is a phenomenal watch!

Your GMT looking good! Really like the jubilee on a number of references...that and the president bracelet are my favorite!

If you can’t stop touching it, I highly recommend letting someone else touch it for you.

It’s one of the best. And the jubilee is fantastic. I’m glad the used the easy link clasp with the micro adjust. It gives it so many options for a perfect fit.

This is the first watch I’ve owned with the Jubilee, all others have had the oyster and I’m a big fan of the new jubilee bracelets...thank you!

Completely agree with you Josh! I actually like the size of the easy link clasp much better compared to the glidelock, the trade off is totally worth it to me. I’ve been messing around with the adjustments to get the perfect fit, still a work in progress but recently got the watch!

But then you wouldn’t get the micro adjustments right? Think the easy link looks good with the sports models.

Would you mind expanding a little bit more Bas on your comment? Surely, out of all of us you would know best what the longevity looks like.

Proper care yes, keep it clean and it will last very long.
But take a look at some of my recent threads on modern wear and cleaning watches. A lot (and I mean a LOT) of watches are dirty, that will always accelerate the wear and tear of a bracelet.

Enjoy! I wish they still made these in oyster though. I feel the jubilee is too light for me.

That’s what I figured and I’ve seen some of your latest posts...don’t know how anyone could ever let their watch get dirty, I enjoy keeping mine clean! Thanks as always Bas!

You could always swap out the bracelet for an oyster if you have a spare one...believe some of the folks have put the Sub with glidelock on the Pepsi.

Like anything else, if you don’t clean it....it will get worn out. I’ve seen worn out oysters too. Gotta treat your luxury pieces with care

Love the Pepsi, and in a perfect world I would have one too! I decided on the CHNR and I am having the same love affair! Unlike most the others on the forum I love the two-tone and the rose gold is the perfect addition to my collection.

I settled for the Seiko Diver Pepsi look alike.
