The Jubilee is a dressier bracelet and thus I think it tends to make more sense on models that have an "upscale" feel to them. The GMT-Master II is a pilot/traveler's watch. It has a white collar aesthetic to it and thus the Jubilee suits it well. I think the Daytona could also get away with one, but this has never been done so it looks wrong to the eye. It might also make the watch a little too "busy" looking.

I think the new BLNR does it best honestly. The blue/black colors just really work well with the bracelet in my opinion, more so than the Pepsi

I always associated the jubilee with DJs and 5-digit GMTs. I’d love one on my BLRO but not at $1,000+.

While I think it looks great on the BLRO, I agree with you that it looks best on the BLNR. The Blue/Red looks more playful and sporty whereas the Blue/Black looks more elegant.

Something tells me a black/red Coke bezel would top 'em all, especially on a jubilee!

I saw a 16710 Black/Red and thought that looked very nice.

100% agree

I do think the gmts on jubilees look good but the jubilee looks best on more formal looking/ non tool watches: DJ (or even if possible on a DD (not that it's available), explorer even)

For me, just the GMTs

Jubilee looks a bit odd on Exps and Subs

The Daytona looks fine on jubilee IMO.

I think it may actually look best on the jubilee. Wow, that is nice!


An interesting thing about the Daytona ... Rolex has offered this model (from factory) on more “bands” than any other model I can think of ... oyster, oysterflex, and leather. It would be logical to offer it on a dressier bracelet for SS, TT, and gold variants.

Agreed. Admittedly, I am a purist and believe in “stock” with both cars and watches

Older GMTs. The new GMTs look amazing, just not a fan of the super case on a jubilee.
