Every modern Rolex I can think of that comes with a jubilee bracelet has polished lugs. Is that how it's always been? Or did older 5-digit DJs, as an example, have the tops of the lugs brushed and also a jubilee bracelet (with alternating brushed/polished links)?

I've seen pics of members' BLNRs with super jubilee bracelet, so it seems like brushed lugs and jubilee works. Just wanting to get more opinions.

My GMT 16713 with a jubilee has brushed lugs.

The DJ's were brushed right up till the update in the early 2000s

Yes, the 16233 had brushed lugs and the brushing was done at an angle. This makes the watch less "blingy" IMHO!

16710 had brushed lugs and was offered with the jubilee. True story.
