I think it looks great.
Wonder if that will ever be an option?

The end links look a bit too short in the case. If you used a jubilee from a modern 12xxxx Datejust, I'm sure it would look much better. Either way, it looks great and is reminiscent of the original GMT.

I prefer the oyster, but it doesn't look "bad" just not my preference. But what do I know? I'm actually interested in trying this watch on brown leather, OR even an all stainless oyster....lol.

Wow looks great! Would ditch the oyster for that on a CHNR.

Thanks for Frankensteining it.... I much prefer the Oyster bracelet now that I see it. Of course, the not proper fitting end links compared to the lugs doesn't help, but overall, I think the Jubilee looks great on the Pepsi and Batman, but I like the Oyster much better with the rose gold.

I actually think Rolex will do this change in the future. Looks better IMHO.

Looks better to me. Although i don't think it works with a hidden clasp jubilee

Looks great! Jubilee ties in nicely with bezel's serrated edge.
Seems like a logical option considering the 126710 BLRO and 126710 BLNR.

Rolex 126711CHNR on Jubilee - Pics

Oyster looks more modern. This gives me more vintage vibes

Strongly prefer the jubilee for the GMT. The oyster fits thematically with the diver watch - solid, durable, smooth, workmanlike. Air travel should be elegant and playful, to me at least.

That’s not half bad! Thank you for posting! Answers quite a few “what ifs” on the forum!

Looks sweeeeeeet, would be great if Rolex sold both bracelets and let us choose either one... or both.

Really looks great imho!

That looks awesome!

Similarly, I kinda like Batgirl more than Batman, but would really rather have a brushed Oyster on a GMT.

Very cool. I prefer the oyster on all of the GMTs, but understand that the jubilee has quite the following. You may have saved yourself a long wait in 2021.
