Oyster or Jubilee?
The 126300 model is more beautiful with the Oyster bracelet or with the Jubilee? What do you think? And the 126303?

The general rule of thumb is: fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet, domed bezel with oyster bracelet

It’s like asking which is better chocolate or vanilla, ladies choice.

I have the 126300 w/Oyster & Smooth because I find the Jubilee & Fluted to be a bit too flashy. This is no way a knock to the latter combo because it is absolutely beautiful. With that said, to each their own.

Whichever one talks to you. I bought mine in 2019, which was still in the days when AD's had some watches in stock. I fully intended to get Jubilee, but I tried both and chose Oyster. Mine is white dial, domed, stick.

I see the argument for it, but just don’t agree. Not that I can really offer up unique advice haha. It’s a real toss up for me. I lean slightly towards jubilee but both are incredible. I think most watches come with oyster bracelets one way or another, so if you have a collection, adding a jubilee bracelet would probably really add something different and fun to the stable. If your DJ is a one and only I think it’s a 50/50 coin toss for me. |

Fluted too flashy.
Oyster too common. Best combo= jubilee + smooth domed bezel

I’ve often tried to answer this question, and always fail. I ended up getting two DJ 36mm, one on jubilee the other on oyster, so I could swap out bracelets as I wish. Impossible to pick a preference between Oyster and Jubilee, at least for me - both terrific.

There is no right answer here given the config options. Total toss up based on dial, bezel and honestly personal preference.

DJ = Jubilee
Super-Jubilee still available on 31s,why they discontinued it on the 36s .. They usually get it right,but not always. |

Oyster, smooth for a perfect gada. Oyster has better longevity and smooth is less of an attractive nuisance.

I think the jubilee suits the DJ perfectly (regardless of smooth or flutted bezel).
As Chad said above, in a sea of oysters it’s nice to have a bit of variety. |

I have fluted+jubilee but I think it suits a certain ensemble (a little dressier / country club). Considering sourcing an oyster to change it up and be slightly more casual.

Jubilee not only because it is iconic Rolex but also from a comfort point of view...it is without a doubt the most comfortable bracelet I have worn to date!
