I know this has been asked before, but I am asking again. I have the opportunity to acquire a Jubilee bracelet for my new Datejust 41 Blue which is currently "sporting" (heh!) an Oyster PCL band.

I am 60 years old with an 8-inch wrist. Live in the Southwest but travel everywhere. Mostly have casual business interactions.

Let's vote - I'd like some others insight and inclinations - thank you!

You should setup a poll. That said, fluted and jubilee is quintessential DJ in my humble opinion.

The Jubilee compliments the fluted bezel perfectly!

Jubilee...and the added benefit is you won’t worry about scratching the PCL’s.

TswaneNguni · 6 August 2019, 03:41 AM

8inch at max length with ext link out ..just check if the jubilee fits .

Thanks for this. Was assuming it would have the same clasp. Is the actual Jubilee band shorter than the Oyster? Would I need to purchase extra links? Of course, was planning on measuring before ordering...

Well I picked up a BLNR on a Jubilee bracelet last week and even fully extended it’s too tight. So today I had to order an extra link at £55. You would think that when buying a watch like this that at least you would be supplied with a strap that fits, big wrists or not. My wrist is measuring just over 8”. Probably something to do with the fact that I’ve got Farmers hands

Voted - Jubilee

Rolex is letting (for once) people buy another type of bracelet for the same watch (this is allowed by rolex because the DJ comes in both combinations). I would not hesitate in getting the two options, before rolex changes their mind. Bracelet is pricey, but it makes it another watch entirely so totally worth it! Go for it!

Is this true?

What do you mean, is this true? You can order another bracelet for the DJ.
It's already hard to find certain dials, now if you need to wait for the right dial, size and bracelet option, you're in for a wait!

Any idea of the price?

$1550 plus tax and $29 shipping from Rolex.

Jubilee takes it for me on a DJ. Timeless & classic looks, not to mention vary comfortable.

I like to have both - for options.

I always gravitate towards the oyster bracelet.

Smooth bezel with jubilee

Yes completely agree- the smooth bezel and jubilee work so well together.

For me the fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet looks a bit busy and a kind of jingly jangly sparkly look. The smooth bezel with jubilee helps make the watch “dressy casual”.

I think this combo is going to be my next purchase! Just can’t decide between the black dial or the blue.

rbt816 · 10 August 2019, 10:19 PM

Voted for the Jubilee. Looks more appropriate for me.

Jubilee by far!

mjclark32 · 6 August 2019, 06:32 AM

If you can get both go for it. I have jubilee on my blue dial smooth bezel 41

mactruck · 6 August 2019, 06:39 AM

Nothing quite like the jubilee. So comfortable.

mortum · 6 August 2019, 06:41 AM

My vote goes to jubilee for fluted+jubilee classic combo.

Mr.Rolex1 · 6 August 2019, 07:10 AM

To me, the jubilee is more "DJ" but I think you should leave the oyster as is
