Slight reprieve from all of the W&W talk (of which I'm heavily a part of

).

Give me your favorite bracelet and why - looks, comfort, etc!

tifosi · 29 March 2023, 03:34 AM

I'm an Oyster man at heart. It's just the greatest.

I haven't worn a president long enough to comment on comfort, but it's #2 for me on looks alone.

Santiago32 · 29 March 2023, 03:34 AM

it's similar to selecting a pair of shoes. In my opinion, the choice depends on the occasion.

However, if I had to chose only one. I think it's oyster.

Yes, only 1 for this challenge!

minute_man · 29 March 2023, 03:41 AM

For one and done, Oyster. Especially the brushed one. Comfortable, robust and versatile.

brandrea · 29 March 2023, 03:44 AM

Me thinks you have the advantage here Jesse as you own all three.

I only own references with the oyster and jubilee.

For me, I prefer the jubilee. It’s more comfortable, and it shows less scratches. The modern jubilees are robust as well.

EDIT: too late to add a poll?

Haha, I think it's time for your 3rd bracelet type, Brian!

Have all 3 styles (16610, 118239 and 116264) and think on comfort the winner is Jubilee; on look the price goes to president

Jubilee without any doubt. It's by FAR the most comfortable and also shows less scratches. I own Oyster and Jubilee. There is no comparison here.

I agree with that as well. From my perspective the smaller links provide for a better fitment. I also find it wears cooler YMMV

I own all three. Oyster and Jubilee get near equal wear time, far more than my DD. However, If I had to pick a favorite I would go with the President....just because, its awesome and nothing else like it.

enjoythemusic · 29 March 2023, 05:01 AM

Based only on a bracelet's comfort, the DD.

bullies · 29 March 2023, 05:30 AM

Comfort wise alone it has to be the Oyster

Flex

For metal bracelets the President bracelet is luxuriously comfortable, but then again the glidelock makes getting the perfect fit pretty nice too...

Guess we need them all

EEpro · 29 March 2023, 05:34 AM

Jubilee has better ventilation and conformation to the wrist.

Overall it is less slippery when sweaty

Something like say a gold sub will slide down onto your hand when sweaty.

I daily wore the 18LB for nearly a year. They are spectacular indeed.

DLRIDES · 29 March 2023, 05:41 AM

Brushed oyster for the win ! Rugged looks, versatile, not excessively flashy.

Make this a poll, interested in the collective opinion.

eightball76 · 29 March 2023, 05:59 AM

never worn a president bracelet but have many many oysters and one jubilee. the Jubilee is by far the most comfortable

DG123 · 29 March 2023, 06:50 AM

I would like to see Rolex offer its OP model with a Jubilee bracelet.

eonflux · 29 March 2023, 07:30 AM

The one on the right

JRell · 29 March 2023, 07:52 AM

If only one, oyster, classic Rolex sports model bracelet, just like on my Keanu Reeves. Needs a poll!
