I don’t dislike it but prefer the Oyster
I think it adds a (I don’t know...) busyness? that grates with the bold looking bezel
Quite like the Rubber B or Everest options for the sports Rolex range- nice for the summertime

Am a big fan of Jubilee bracelet as have 16700 and 16713 with Jubilee. New 62510 Jubilee bracelet for 16700 is £850 from Rolex as I changed it the week of Basel this year but came with short spring bars so worth checking. Kept 93150 Fliplock Oyster it came with just to support my preference for BCL as GMT 16700/16710s also had 78360 and 78790 Oysterlock bracelet options all BCL. Only Basel 2007 saw PCL introduced on the 116710 GMT.
Another convert here, picked one up from my local AD, £1150 as others have said and 20mm x 1.8mm spring bars (well 1.78mm to be precise). The springbars do not come with the bracelet by the way. Simple enough to fit if you have a steady hand and good gear such as Bergeon etc...
I think it’s a VERY good fit, absolutely no movement at all and no gaps.
In my opinion it suits very well, keeps the dressy look of the PCLs on Oyster but I now have no worries about scratches on the bracelet which really jump out at you.

That looks mega cool
The Jubilee is a classic Rolex design, and IMO looks superb on several models, providing a lovely ‘retro-look’.
However, some of the later ceramic models do look a bit bulky against it, and I think it suits the 4 or 5-digit models better.
Also a big fan of the rubber straps for certain models. Put a blue Rubber B on a polar Explorer II and was amazed how good it looked and felt. The ABP range of rubber straps also very impressive - better value and wider colour choice. Don’t get ’Natos’ though.
Looks class that mate !

A bit too busy for my liking but as long as you enjoy it, that’s all that counts!
Looks great in pictures and for a split second I did consider sourcing a jubilee for mine but I have this thing about keeping watches on their original bracelet. I always imagine that taking a bracelet off a new watch for the first time might loosen the fit between case and bracelet (ie it'll never be as perfect a fit as it was before it was removed). I'm sure I'm just being paranoid?
Good point there. Never done it on a Rolex, but on my Speedy 9300 after I took the bracelet off for the first time and swapped it back on later I've noticed it slightly looser than new. Can't be the end links or the lugs so I wonder if it's just the springbars loosening up a bit. First time it came off the bars were tight as hell.
Thanks for the details on which bracelet to order and spring bars, think i’m going to treat myself to that bracelet for my birthday this year!
Does anyone know if the 63600 bracelet also fit the no-holes 40mm Explorer II without issue too?
It's a 20mm lug width, but the case isn't quite as chunky as the BLNR.
