I was going through my bracelet collection today. Rolex has made some great offerings through the decades, and I was wondering what YOUR favorite is?

Me?

I love my 5512 on its original 9315, as well as my 1680. I also often wear them in a 78360. I know it's a GMT bracelet but I prefer the lower profile clasp vs. the 93150. I also love my jubilees, and the 7206 for good measure.

What say you?

Sky21 · 6 May 2017, 06:35 AM

I'd say the 78360 if you're including that in the vintage bracelet category. Still looks and feels a lot like the older folded link and rivet bracelets but seems to be more sturdy and easier to size and wear. Still rattles a bit like a vintage should but feels more sturdy and like you said the clasp is very low profile as well.

I think mine is my 6636 on my PCG GMT.

Richard Carver · 6 May 2017, 07:16 AM

Ancient jubilees are great, no more comfortable Rolex bracelet around. What's unusual about these three is each has survived the years with all 22 links in place. The oval link has a 4 stamped on the clasp and given it came from a 60s watch I believe it is a 1964, if anyone has more info on oval links I would be appreciative. The folded link on the 1603 is a 1970 and the folded on the Date Day is a 1974. The latter two are Swiss.

Of those this USA big crown oval link is the favorite...

My absolute favorite is the USA oval link Jubilee. Those handsome solid links were only found on the vintage watches and they look still look vintage today - much more of a finished look than the Swiss 6251 folded-over-link Jubilee.. As a bonus, they are very comfortable. Next would be the Swiss 6251 folded link Jubilee, then the Swiss Oyster 7206 Rivet and lastly, it would be the C&I Oyster rivet.

My favorite looking is the 7206, but for comfort an old big crown folded jubilee.

Gina Marie · 6 May 2017, 12:03 PM

7206 with a C & I a close second.

theflywrist · 6 May 2017, 08:56 PM

7206 all day any day for me!

1972 GMT on the oval link Jubilee.

Nice one John (Springer).....

I would tend to agree with you, that bracelet is super cool and comfortable!!!!

Perhaps solid gold would be one better

Swiss Rivet

My 62510's are ridiculously comfortable. But I think I need to find an oval link jubilee now. Lol

Rolex, 18 Kt, Presidential with Bark

Made in Mexico for Joske's steel jubilee. Beats the SEL oyster by a nose. IMHO.
