It is just a trend, jubilee bracelet quite hot in 60~90s.

Kingair · 5 June 2013, 02:08 AM

I really was an Oyster guy but now that I see Mrs 1601 with Jubilee . . . my mind is changing . . .

Argentius · 5 June 2013, 02:14 AM

I generally think they look older and a bit out of date, especially in two-tone.

trends come and go, but I wouldn't have one.

gold canyon · 5 June 2013, 02:28 AM

Love the jubilee bracelet, both old style and super jubilee. I love the president bracelet, too. Wish they made it in stainless steel though.

tomchicago · 5 June 2013, 02:47 AM

Jub + Pepsi = Delish!

Watchdog · 5 June 2013, 02:59 AM

Love the jubilee. Just the best looking bracelet around.

Mr DateJust · 5 June 2013, 03:24 AM

The jubilee is more comfortable in my opinion plus it doesn't show scratches or marks the way the oyster does. On the other hand it can be more susceptible to stretch and does come off a little more dressy. I own both oyster and jubilee and both are great.

Dev · 5 June 2013, 03:46 AM

Just bought a Datejust with a jubilee bracelet for my wife on our 20th anniversary. Looks fine, I can tell you.

A.Sharp · 5 June 2013, 03:51 AM

I love super jubilee. I like the way it feels, enjoy the way it looks, and fits me better than oyster. Less stuffy looking than oyster too IMHO.

bobg · 5 June 2013, 04:06 AM

If you don't like it you haven't worn it.

dcvelo · 5 June 2013, 04:17 AM

I think is more of an age thing, at least with me. When I got my first Rolex (Pepsi GMT) I couldn't stand the jubilee bracelets, because they looked like they were made for older folks. Also, I thought that on sports models like the subs, GMT's, etc, the Oysters looked better. Well, it has been a while, and I am almost 50, and I'd have to say that the Jubilee bracelets have grown on me, so let that be my .02 cents.

Cheers!!

bridgs · 5 June 2013, 04:32 AM

I have said this before but will do it again. When I first bought my sub (17 years ago), I thought the jubilee was girly and old mannish like others have said. I am 49 now and have a 36mm DJ with super jubilee. I did not like it like I thought I would at first but now love it. I have variety. I did not like the fact that I had to change links often to accommodate for wrist swelling as temps change throughout the day. I am cool with it now though. I love the comfort and look of the bracelet. It has never pinched my hairs that I know of. I realize now that I have dropped some weight that I am not having to change out the links so much either.

Alexth1 · 5 June 2013, 04:57 AM

I only like the CPL stainless Jube, everything else I think looks too "classic". Do I like it better than the oyster bracelet?? Maybe not.

PanosI · 5 June 2013, 05:48 AM

My favorite bracelet for the 16710 and by far the most comfortable !!

I like it even on my LV

richardlo · 5 June 2013, 06:40 AM

A semi stretched out jubilee feels like silk.

Darlinboy · 5 June 2013, 07:16 AM

Jubilee? I say

Mine is a folded-link from '65.

Me too bit old fashioned, reminds me of Goodfellas!

One day, I walked into the AD and saw the watch below and fell in love.

I immediately ordered one and have been smitten ever since.

I love the Oyster bracelets, but the Jubilee bracelets are really something special in my view.

+1 Nice watch. I like the blue dial

I find the Jubilee Bracelet very comfortable.

boogiebot · 5 June 2013, 07:34 AM

i like them. personally i think they look sharp

Nice watch, I have one of those too.

I like either one and it depends on the watch. I will say this, if one catches the sun's rays just right on a Jubilee bracelet it shimmers like diamonds even if it needs a new some cleaning.

soho · 5 June 2013, 07:40 AM

I have a jubilee on my SS DJ and an Oyster on my Tudor Sub. Love having both and don't like one more than the other. I do consider the jubilee to be dressier and the oyster to be sportier, and in that sense I like the way each goes with its respective watch. If the jubilee is more feminine then I say vive la difference!

GeoGio Greece · 5 June 2013, 08:03 AM

...who said so ?

TSts · 5 June 2013, 11:39 AM

Not a fan of the jubilee, looks too 'busy' against the simple Rolex watch case...

Chaching · 5 June 2013, 12:03 PM

I love my 16030....a true classic...with Jubilee OF COURSE!

My GMT is my favorite watch, in part because of the jubilee:

oneillba · 6 June 2013, 11:08 AM

PunkJr · 7 June 2013, 07:40 AM

Prefer the oyster on a sub or GMT, but the jubilee makes the datejust to me. I don't like dj's on oysters.
