Jubilee for diving
Is Jubilee bracelet with crown clasp, safe for swiming and dive?
I think the oyster bracelet is safer than Jubilee Am I correct? |

If you're referring to the single fold clasp as opposed to the double fold with the safety clasp, I would consider it safe for swimming and casual water use but not for diving. That is provided the clasp is adjusted properly.

Since most Rolex watches fitted with a jubilee these days do not have an elapsed timing bezel.........I am not sure that you would want to take it diving.
Should be fine for swimming/snorkeling

Not an issue, not even remotely. My DJ on jubilee has had 25 years of rough treatment, including a lot of swimming pool and ocean swimming.
Again, Rolex are rugged. It is not because they look like a million bucks, that they should be treated as jewels.

I would imagine it will hold up fine but the flip lock oyster should stand up better.
