Although the oyster will always be my first love, the wearing experience with jubliee is unparalleled in terms of weight and comfort. Of all the Rolex I’ve had so far this one really does have the most character. Even compared to a Batman this reference is just different. I’ll never understand the hype behind a 2x secondary price but at retail this thing is an absolute banger

How much lighter donyou feel the jubilee is in comparison to the Oyster? I know you said that you preferred oysters prior to picking this up.

Can't get into the hand tattoos either

Then is the Oyster bracelet strictly for men?
As for the body art, I like it, but as a watch lover, the hand tattoos do distract from the beauty of some watches, as an observer. As the person who has the tattoos and the watches, and loves both, I’m sure it’s a different feeling.

Making tattoos paid for all my watches. I know that’s a hard pill to swallow but so is people sharing such abrasive opinions like yours. Temper it down and you’ll enjoy this forum a lot more.

You can't go wrong with Pepsi on jubilee, It's makes a perfect combo! Huge congrats on your new purchase.

I'm a recent convert, always liked Fluted with Jub and Ceramic with Oyster, but I'm more flexible now.

If you want the watch to wear with more businesslike attire, definitely.
Very subjective and the poli he’d center links on oyster cajole be argued to make the oyster more dressy

Jubilee is far better than even the glidelock on sub, which I had to adjust 2-3 times a day.

I never have to adjust the jubilee, it's weightless and it doesnt slide below my wrist bone nor is it tight in the morning.

I agree! You can really tell the difference slipping on a jubilee after wearing an oyster bracelet. Bought one for my 16710 but occasionally wear it on the Exp II. Recently wore the "polargirl" for 10 days on vacation in Cancun - very comfortable in the heat all day.

Love the aesthetic look of the jubilee bracelet. At the end of the day, both are great and give the watch a different look! Congrats on the new pickup - looks amazing

I was thinking the same thing. Plus, I don’t know what it is for me about keeping a watch all original. It just feels so right. Kat, the oyster on your watch is so elegant. My friend has the exact same configuration and I drool every time I see it.

I was a non believer to the jubilee BLRO until I picked one up a year ago. Congrats

Agreed. But the difference is probably only noticeable to people like us LOL
