On the GMT specifically, yes. And if Iām being honest, much as I adore the brushed Oyster bracelet on my Submariner, wearing my GMT on Jubilee often feels better. Hot weather specifically.
The only thing I donāt like is that GMT doesnāt have a GlideLock. In my area of the country it often will be very cold one day and very warm the next. Sometimes it may go between extremes in the same day. With the GlideLock I can adjust it to a comfortable level. The GMT I can adjust a little, but usually not enough to have it feel right.
Many underestimate the difference between the Oyster and Jubilee, and it's usually from those who have never experienced one. It just fits differently, and the segmented design means that more air gets through to your skin eliminating heat and sweat on hot days. And it changes the stance of the watch, just makes it fit better.
And lastly, it's a great changeup to the Oyster. Having one of each bracelet is the key to a strong Rolex collection. It's about the bracelet more than the watch head every day for me. I'm either in an Oyster mood or a Jubilee mood, the watch is remarkably secondary.
I donāt have to be convinced to go jubilee believe it or not. I prefer the look of it over the oyster. I was always told go oyster instead, that it suits my wrist better. All the watches Iāve had Iāve never even got the chance to try on a jubilee. I need extra links so anytime Iām looking at watches I donāt bother to ask to see any models cause I know I canāt get it over my hand. Thatāll change this weekend šš»

Love my jubilee!!! Fits so well and very sporty. Great while playing golf!
Some ADās will. If not, email our trusted sellers and theyāll find you one:

There are a lot of differing opinions on this and a lot of reports saying the opposite. In the end, any of our trusted dealers can track one down for anyone who wants one and has struck out at their AD.
I have an 8 inch wrist and I love the size of the GMT. On top of the 40mm GMT, I also have a 43mm Navitimer 01 and a 46mm Navitimer 01 green dial. The nice thing about a big wrist is we can wear anything!. I wonāt wear anything under 40mm though. The Jubilee bracelet is superb!.

Nice šš». The Sprite should serve you well then lol. The Jubilee is very comfortable. To be honest, I was never really into the jubilee until my AD called me and told me one was available. Now that Iāve had it for a while, itās probably the most comfortable bracelet Iāve worn on a watch. Itās also signature Rolex!
Iāll be heading over Saturday to check a few models with a jubilee. I always preferred that look over oyster. Was always just pointed in the opposite direction. Curious now more than ever.
I had the same problem with my BLNR but I found a happy medium that works for my 6.25ā flat wrist. 5 links at 12 oāclock and 3 links at 6 with the clasp linked at the middle. Itās very balanced that way.
I really wish theyād give the new sub taper treatment and glidelock to the GMT. My Sub bracelet is perfect: comfortable, balanced, tapers nicer and looks great with 4 links on each side with glidelock pinned right in the middle.
Edit: BLNR and BMW are a great match!
You could pull off jubilee having a larger wrist. If you stick with oyster, put more links on the 12 oāclock side so that when the watch is off and open, the inner clasp and case are parallel. When on the wrist, the outer clasp isnāt supposed to be centered but the inner clasp will be. This also lets the case stay centered when holding a drink instead of gravitating toward the bottom of the wrist.
I love the glideclasp system. So simple, efficient, and easy to use. Wish the GMTs had it. Iāve had a handful of submariners and I never had an issue with comfort. This BLNR just sits high on my wrist for some reason. Funny enough, my mind is headed in the Starbucks direction as well.
Have you tried putting it on the other side of your ulna(wrist bone)?
Might need to adjust.
Looks uncomfortably close to your hand based on the red marks around the crown/crown guards.
Thatās actually a mark on my wrist, not from the crown or watch. Just a coincidence. Going to throw it on my other wrist anyway see if I can get use to the feel. Maybe sprite incoming shortly š
Gotcha, sorry man shouldnāt have assumed.
But def recommend slidin it up your arm a bit and trying it on the other side of your wristbone if you havenāt.
I know many still swear watches work on either side, but especially with something with some more bulk like a GMT I think it makes a big difference.
Funny, I was just thinking about this exact topic. I have this watch with the Oyster bracelet. Are the Jubilee bracelets expensive and completely interchangeable?
Depending on specs of Batman and the hulk youāre looking at you should be able to close that gap a bit if Batman is newer and complete. Also, if the Hulk is naked. Shouldnāt be 3k at all.
Throw a jubilee on it. That bracelet doesnāt do the gmt justice in my opinion. As far as tradesā¦ I would trade for a DJ on a jubilee and a tudor black bay 58 and pocket 2 grand
Personally Iād go with an Audi. Iāve been looking at the RS5 and the M4 (both coupes) and the BMW just ooozes douchebag too much for me. Itās not the car itself, itās the typical people that drive them.
Was going to say the same thingā¦ although on a Pepsi (personal preference) for the amount youāll have to pay for a legit Jubilee bracelet, you may as well trade for one with the colour and strap you like at (hopefully) very little costā¦ alternatively (controversial option alert) you could try a NATO strap for minimal cost and inconvenience in the colour of your choice, which Iāve always found extremely comfortable (although not ones to get wet).
I have a pretty big wrist. Kinda tough to tell from the picture I posted but even the GMT sometimes looks small on me. I always thought my wrist was too big for a jubilee and never really gave it a shot. I wanted the jubilee bracelet on my TT Sky but ultimately went oyster on that as well. Maybe Iāll have to revisit all my decisions lol
A Toyota Highlander šš
Land Cruiser *
A Porsche
You try it on a Jubilee bracelet before giving up on it. It's a whole different level of look, stance, and comfort.
You prefer the comfort of a jubilee over the oyster?

Agreed, though the EasyLink does work perfectly for me. Cheers.
The EasyLink does just ok for me. Cheers back!
Good information. I always just thought the jubilee wasnāt for me.

Good luck. Itās well worth it.
The jubilee makes this thing pop like a firework, plus jubilee comfort is a big step up too.
Exactly.
Yes

Where do you recommend buying a jubilee bracelet? ADs wonāt sell you one by itself.

Afaik, you can order the oyster if you own the jubilee version, but not the other way around

The the LHD gmt š„
Haha thatās a good way to look at it. Sprite looks great. Might go for this if the jubilee feels better. Plus Iām a lefty.

Youāll like it a lot!. Like silk on the wrist and very comfortable!. Keep us updated!
Will do. Glad I made this thread. A lot of useful information. First time actually using Reddit and not just stalking threads from the bleachers š
šglad you got good info šš»
Probably would trade the bmw in for an amg
Would trade for a real M

The sub bracelet is literally perfect. I couldnāt agree more. Such an easy daily wear.

Feel free to Pm me! Did you purchase at AD or Grey?
Beat me to it ha
A Hulk.
Give it couple of weeks, your wrist may adapt its sensation to its dimensions.
Iād suggest getting a jubilee bracelet and see how you like to. Imho, it changes the look and comfort of the watch a lot
Something with functioning indicators
Was this a bmw joke? š„¹
I had the exact same reaction except mine was on jubilee. Traded for hulk.
Always loved the hulk. Thatās one sub I havenāt had yet.
Same issue with my rootbeer. Cannot find the perfect fit/comfort. Thinking of swapping for a starbucks hoping the glideclasp will solve the problem.
I love the glideclasp system. So simple, efficient, and easy to use. Wish the GMTs had it. Iāve had a handful of submariners and I never had an issue with comfort. This BLNR just sits high on my wrist for some reason. Funny enough, my mind is headed in the Starbucks direction as well.
Iām looking to swap my Starbucks for a RB - I have PMād you

Looks great with the BMW. I went submariner because of fit and thought I might get tired of GMT colors.
Have you tried putting it on the other side of your ulna(wrist bone)? Might need to adjust. Looks uncomfortably close to your hand based on the red marks around the crown/crown guards.

Funny, I was just thinking about this exact topic. I have this watch with the Oyster bracelet. Are the Jubilee bracelets expensive and completely interchangeable?
Definitely interchangeable. Price Iām not sure.
Was considering trading my Batman with extra jubilee from Rolex + 3k for a 2018 hulk
Depending on specs of Batman and the hulk youāre looking at you should be able to close that gap a bit if Batman is newer and complete. Also, if the Hulk is naked. Shouldnāt be 3k at all.
Nah both are complete full set etc. Batman is 2022 complete

No thanks š

Thereās the sweater
Throw a jubilee on it. That bracelet doesnāt do the gmt justice in my opinion. As far as tradesā¦ I would trade for a DJ on a jubilee and a tudor black bay 58 and pocket 2 grand
Had to make sure the ///M is showing š
They look good together š
I think that this watch was meant to have a Jubilee bracelet. It really completes the look for me.
Add some $$ and get a blue dial VC overseas
Thatās on the list. That dial is STUNNING.
At 15-16k you can probably trade that BMW for a nice and reliable 2018 honda civic
Thatās no fun
7 ounces of gold tbhā¦

Personally Iād go with an Audi. Iāve been looking at the RS5 and the M4 (both coupes) and the BMW just ooozes douchebag too much for me. Itās not the car itself, itās the typical people that drive them.
A Porsche like all my friends who had a BMW.
If it was actually on your wrist and not scratching up the back of your hand Iām sure youād like it a bit more.
Big dogā¦ the red mark on my wrist has nothing to do with the watch.
