Hi all, thanks in advance for the feedback. I have narrowed down my latest purchase to a datejust 36mm black concentric arabic. I definitely want the fluted dial, my only question is jubilee vs oyster. I definitely like the jubilee on vintage datejust but since this is a little more sporty i'm on the fence. My collection doesn't have a jubilee band if that matters (birth year 1984 16800 sub and 16710 gmt pepsi). Ive attached pics of both. Thanks in advance.

I like both bracelets! It’s up to which you feel looks better on you!

EdwardC · 8 October 2018, 12:04 PM

I think depends on the bezel. Fluted bezel fits jubilee bracelet than oyster for me.

bonovox · 8 October 2018, 12:14 PM

Jubilee.

Chadridv · 8 October 2018, 01:22 PM

I'd def go jubilee. and btw, I believe that jubilee will fit your 16710 no prob!

Chadridv · 8 October 2018, 01:24 PM

here's how it will look :)

You like it, and you don't have one - so I say go jubilee.

Sticazzi · 8 October 2018, 01:25 PM

Jubilee, and on the dial numbers are bolder, hands stand out more go with rest of watch. Your welcome

I say go with the oyster. That dial has a sporty feel to me so oyster fits better.

Jubilee is a must with fluted be selected go oyster with your sports watch

subprimero · 8 October 2018, 04:14 PM

Normally I would say jubilee with a fluted bezel but the dial you have chosen Is really modern so I think the oyster is more appropriate.

faz · 8 October 2018, 05:26 PM

For that dial I would go oyster for sportier look.

Jubilee fits the stick hour markers better.

With fluted bezel I would go Jubilee, and in general I would also go Jubilee because I think it has a better fit then Oyster and I love the hidden clasp.

Manu74 · 8 October 2018, 09:53 PM

I would go Oyster

gin47 · 8 October 2018, 10:17 PM

I would go for Jubilee fluted bezel in a heartbeat.

brandrea · 8 October 2018, 10:20 PM

Jubilee.

Also, that red date wheeel would drive me nuts

adawil2002 · 8 October 2018, 11:04 PM

Jubilee all day everyday!

Snow-Dweller · 8 October 2018, 11:07 PM

Jubilee

Brew · 8 October 2018, 11:08 PM

Normally I prefer a jubilee paired with a fluted bezel, but with this dial, I prefer the oyster bracelet.

Skyrider01 · 9 October 2018, 01:18 AM

I find the fluted bezel goes better with the jubilee.

I agree with this ... but would add that a domed bezel with the oyster would possibly pair better with this particular dial as it has a more sporty face than the classic face I'd normally associate with the DJ.

jinikari01 · 9 October 2018, 02:39 AM

jubliee gets my vote.

CoveWatch · 9 October 2018, 02:52 AM

Jubilee here also! It might be more versatile than most think as well. Good Luck!

doramas · 9 October 2018, 02:53 AM

Jubilee

Frank80 · 9 October 2018, 03:15 AM

I think the oyster looks better with the Arabic dial. However, if your oyster bracelet will fit the datejust then get the jubilee version and you could swap them out whenever you want. I do this with my 1500 every few weeks.

Rolesor · 9 October 2018, 04:27 AM

I have the same watch in blue. I went oyster and love it! I wear it everyday in casual wear but it dresses up wonderfully.

gaeleus · 9 October 2018, 10:36 AM

I like to go by the fluted bezel/ jubilee and sooth bezel / oyster rule. However, with this particular dial, I'd go with an oyster bracelet. Needs a sporty look

Wulfhedinn · 9 October 2018, 11:32 AM

I would pick jubilee because I think it suits the Datejust better. I also really like the elegance of jubilee.

It’s only red on odd days, black on even. It’s actually pretty fun! Agree on jubilee too.
