I just love the Jubilee, it's nothing against the Oyster bracelet as my Sky/Exp have Oyster...

But the Jubilee is just supreme comfort. I have a StrapCode/Miltat super jubilee on my Seiko Turtle and it is way more comfy than even Rolex's straps... so I figure if the copy of a Rolex Jubilee is this comfortable... then the real deal should be the same if not better.

Regarding your strap. I think your dealer should be able to order you one, because if for example you broke yours / lost it. What would they do / suggest?

At the same time... I think you can expect it to be around £5-800 somewhere around there... it'll be crazy priced! Let me know how much it is if you find out!

5/800 isnt too bad i was expecting atleast £1500 - that was just based off the fact that omega supply their rubber band for £400ish

I’m going to call my AD on saturday and see what he can do

How dare you called Omega's Silicone Unicorn tears forged in the gates of Heaven strap... a rubber band.

You heathen!

Yeah it's quite outrageous what they get away with really...

I agree i have both too and they compliment each other very well, congrats

i hate this thread.

i've tried the DJ41 Blue/Smooth/Oyster combo at least 6 times now in different ADs. They're not always available but easy enough to chance on.

Absolutely love it!!

Never gave the DJ41 much thought before but the 41 is awesome. And while it's not classified as a sports model (just my preference), it's plenty sporty in this combo.

The only thing stopping me is that I'd like to land a GMT first before I permit myself to get the DJ. Strange I know as I'm almost certain I will add a DJ to the collection anyway, but keeping the focus is bit of fun too.

Well done. So awesome.

Yes 3 years ago a DJ would not have even crossed my mind

But I’ve had the 41 a week now and I’ve grown to love it

I also have a sub which I’ve had 3years now and tbh I think i am starting to prefer the DJ - purely coz of its proportions.

The smooth bezel and oyster make it feel sporty imo - i wear jeans and a tshirt everyday and I think it looks great.

Did you have any luck with getting a jubilee / finding out the cost?

Tbh... I think even the jubilee bracelet with the smooth bezel looks sporty really!
I'm still trying to work out which smooth vs fluted I should get too...

It's gotta be blue though, blue = love.
I am partial to the silver too though

No mate not asked yet. Will ask when the next watch arrives- try sweetening the deal with an extra strap

The fluted bezel is way to flashy imo - i am just about getting used to PCLs never mind a fluted bezel

Smooth bezel is the best of both worlds - looks sporty and can be dressed up

Looks so dark in that picture! In a good way (loving how different it looks in the light, my sky-d isn't as dramatic, I think because it's so busy)

Meh I think the fluted bezel isn't too flashy, I think it also is less easy to scratch really due to the way it is... or more likely hides the scratches.

The PCL's are actually the reason I wouldn't go for the oyster, ruins the watch imo! I'd probably get them brushed, especially if I was wearing it as a more casual piece.

Jubilee is life! haha

But to be fair, I'm glad we like different things because otherwise the world would be pretty boring everyone walking around with a blue fluted bez jub haha.

Next watch? o.O your wife really is going to kill you!

Tbh 2 years ago i hated the pcls - i am starting to really enjoy them now

I haven’t really seen the blue pop yet - maybe coz im stuck in an office everyday

Really hoping I can land a blnr/hulk/daytona soon - the latter is just near enough impossible but you gotta hold on to hope eh lol
