Here are some pics from today and from the summer...both 78360 and 7836 oyster in the pics, and oval oyster...anyway I am just curious on whether I should go oyster or jubilee as a daily beater...can’t seem to make up my mind...

I'm usually an oyster guy, but the jubilee looks great on that watch.

The jagged edges of the bezel suits the jubilee quite good but the oyster is just sportier...like a precursor to the YM...

Both look great, but I think the Jubilee adds that extra "pop". I vote for the Jubilee!

Sublovin · 31 December 2018, 07:06 AM

Oyster every time. Even my DJ is on oyster...not a big jubilee fan

There's a special place in Rolex heaven for those with the wisdom and panache to rock an oval link jubilee. :)

I hear ya’! That’s just so cool! Never seen a 16570 on jubilee-actually looks great!!

springer · 31 December 2018, 08:34 AM

The Jubilee is my choice.

Kid Blue · 31 December 2018, 08:50 AM

Modern (D) Jubilee on my ‘76 Thunderbird and my ‘89 16713 and I wouldn’t want it any other way, although the GMT does feel heavier/more stretched — maybe the softer gold, 18k vs. 14k?

I almost bought a folded bracelet 1625, but heard a crazy rumor that the gold links were soldered and needed to be cut for sizing! Never confirmed it. And those ovals are... finicky?

Jubilees are just so much comfier, in my opinion.

Jubilee
Oyster looks too much

1665fan · 31 December 2018, 10:44 AM

Jubilee matches the engine turned bezel better imho

I have to agree.

The TOG is the original Rolex tool watch, definitely oyster in my opinion.

CPRWATCH · 31 December 2018, 07:45 PM

And another vote for the jubilee. There is something about it that just seems to lift certain watches .

mineral · 1 January 2019, 10:07 AM

I like the combo of jubilee bracelet with sport model. Jubilee goes well with those watches.

50/50 split this far...exciting!

Will keep both but would like to have one as the main bracelet since this will be my daily beater...

ancientmariner · 2 January 2019, 01:03 AM

Usually go jubilee when there is a choice, but in this case I am going with the oyster.

motoikkyu · 3 January 2019, 02:42 PM

I had the understanding that these, at least the two tone, were sold on jubilee. Having said that, I have voted "oyster" because I wear my own 1625 on an oyster, just prefer the look. Respect to all.

Interesting! I tried to google and find old 1625 ads but couldn’t find anything, would be cool to know what’s the “most original” to this model was...

L.K Johnson · 10 February 2019, 01:40 AM

Just had to share this pic when the light is just perfect! Rollin’ with jubilee for now until I get bored with it... 😄

motoikkyu · 10 February 2019, 03:41 AM

Terrific photo! What a great look! Vintage rules!

Thanks! I am so happy that I could get great lighting in this winter time! The slate dial just deserves that! : )
