I know the oyster pedigree but my friend let me try on his dj36 and I was blown away at how well the jubilee wraps the wrist.  Still won’t do a cyclops but made me wonder if I could crystal swap lol

·

Don’t like bracelets at all, but oyster over jubilee if I must make this choice.

·

I’m going for Jubilee on the DateJust. 
Oyster on the GMT II. 
I think those are the only two you get a choice for. 

·

Depends on the Rolex for me. OP, DJ or GMT I like the Jubilee. Explorer, Explorer II, or Submariner I like the Oyster. 

·

As above both bracelets don't suite every watch ,but pure comfort jubilee wins

No need to rush, you will have a couple of years to decide.

Though the answer is jubilee on pepsi, oyster on batman.

It depends on the watch. I've lived with the Oyster for nearly 40 years on my 5 digit GMT, but my future white gold GMT II with the meteorite dial looks great with the Jubilee.

·

My most comfortable bracelet is a jubilee AND it has the benefit of hiding scratches brilliantly.

I prefer the jubilee on both the Batman and the Pepsi.  That's how I requested and bought them from the AD.

Does the new 2022 gmt master ii with jubilee bracelet have a quick micro adjustment?

'Features the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by the brand, which allows the bracelet length to be increased by approximately 5 mm. A concealed attachment system ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and case.'

Basically, the one they use on most of their watches.

Has the easy link been on previous model or just 2022 model?

I think on previous too, but not sure.  I just got mine a couple months ago, and that's what it has.

It was between 25k-30k about 6, 7 months ago.  So yeah, still ridiculous, but less so.

I was able to get the "batgirl" 3 months ago at retail from an AD after a 5 month wait.  It is a lovely watch but I would never pay grey market price, not worth it at all. 

The jubilee bracelet is exceptionally comfortable...

When you got it from ad did you buy a lot of watches or any before you got that call? 
 

I bought one watch so far from mayors and been on waitlist for like 3 years and still no call

I had no purchase history with this AD but they are just an amazing group of people - incredibly friendly, the owner is just a gentleman and a scholar, and they encouraged me to just visit them a couple of times so they were comfortable I was not a flipper.  It was not about "sucking up" - just mutual realization that it was all kosher.  Btw, I also have a DJ41, Wimbledon Dial, on order for delivery in the next couple of months from this AD.

With my "regular" AD, who is a great guy and gave me really great discounts on a couple of Omegas and a Reverso Duo within a 12 month period, we discussed GMT II for 18+ months but he could not pull it off.   Probably because that AD is in a zip code in my city where my purchase history did not amount to much, at all!!

Just call and visit multiple ADs.  With grey market regressing (collapsing??), ADs should be more receptive for true buyers.

love the look and feel of the oyster bracelet. I would vote on the aesthetics of the oyster over the jubilee, but so many people have remarked how much more comfortable the jubilee wears. I've never worn the jubilee, but for looks alone I would vote oyster.
