jubilee or oyster on GMT SS?

Would you pick jubilee or oyster? I have oyster on a SD4K and a Bluesy. Jubilee seems busy to me, but im not sure, never owned. Also, i tend to forget to take off in the shower since i have a bluesy and sd4k. Any problem wearing it in shower? Does the band matter for that?

Jubilee on the GMT and DJ41. Oyster on the Submariner. I’d never deviate from this. I’m not the biggest fan of PCLs…

Jubilee, easy choice for me. In my opinion, its the best Rolex has to offer. Comfortable, great looking and scratches don't scream at you. I have several watches with oyster bracelets including ones with PCLs so feel like I can make a fair comparison.

Jubilee GMT and DJ

Oyster on Subs, Daytona, and OP 41

For all the reasons mentioned.

Jubilee is absolutely worth owning. It looks and feels terrific.

Jubilee lover here. Why not, with so many oysters available.

It’s super comfortable, and shows less signs of wear. I also think it wears a bit cooler on the wrist, but maybe that’s just me

To me the GMT was created to have a jubilee bracelet.

It doesn’t matter what we would pick. Get the one YOU like better. Do you want to dress it up, or go more for a sporty look?

Shower is fine for either, and get what you want. Perhaps get both bracelets, ask your AD about the possibilities.

I think the jubilee makes the GMT unique in the sports watches. Plus scratches are less noticeable.

I prefer Jubilee on BLRO. It wears more comfortably that Oyster (not that Oyster is uncomfortable per se) and is an homage to the original 6542. I think the BLNR looks better on Oyster but it's your opinion that counts when your money is in play.

I think GMTs look better on jubilee and considering you already have a couple oysters, Id suggest variety and go with the jubilee.

I agree with Kat
Fine to get a poll vote, but one should always go with what they feel is better for their tastes/circumstances, not what someone else likes.

Depends on what you like. For me:

BLNR "Batman" - Oyster
BLRO "Pepsi" - Jubilee or Oyster depending on the occasion (I have both and 90% of the time it's on Oyster)
GRNR or VTNR - no opinion

I like both on GMT equally. I switch them out once in a while.

I was "oyster" only until I wore a GMT w/jubilee - next level comfort

Jub Jub gets my vote :)

Fully agree. For some reason, BLNR and Rootbeer (ok, no Jubilee option there) look meant to be on Oyster

I find the lugs look slimmer and more pleasing to the eye on the jubilee rather than on the oyster
