DJ 41 Jubilee vs Oyster

[lmator]

Hello everyone!

I'm considering buying a DJ 41 2024, but I can't decide between the Jubilee and Oyster bracelets. I like both of them, which makes the choice very difficult.

I know this is an old debate. While many posts online suggest that the Jubilee is a dress bracelet and the Oyster is a sports bracelet, these distinctions don't really help me make a decision.

What do you folks think?

My personal opinion is that if you go fluted bezel, get the jubilee. Smooth bezel, go with the oyster.

+1. I would agree with this.

I had a fluted bezel / jubilee then traded in for an oyster / fluted bezel. I feel it’s the best of both worlds. Sporty and Classy.

Agree

Jubilee is more comfortable and doesn't show scratches like the Oyster does. If you are getting a fluted bezel, get the Jubilee. The Oyster looks best on the smooth bezel.

I have been through a bunch of versions, and have settled on the smooth bezel / jubilee….the comfort of the jubilee is unbeatable and the oyster just scratches too easily. I’m also just not a fan of anything fluted. .

Jubilee is simply the best IMO

Gotta go jubilee, flutted bezel … I’d even go two tone ~ so classic

I like fluted with oyster for the dressy and sporty look

I like the jubilee better. But when I bought my DJ41, I already had a Submariner on an Oyster. So the Jubilee offered a lot more contrast and became even more appealing to me. If you think you might get a Submariner in the future, this is something you may want to consider.

Jubilee with a fluted bezel.

For me, the TT fluted bezel DJ is more dramatic on Oyster, though mine is the 36.

A DJ for me has to be the classic fluted bezel on jubilee. It is the iconic Rolex look.

Agree.
Also mint green dial is sublime

This.

All personal preference, mind.

I think it needs flutted as it classic Rolex and the smooth can look a bit plain, like something is missing.

Flutted and Jubilee can look too old man for my taste, although excusable with a more modern dial, blue, mint, Wimbledon.

Flutted and Oyster gives a nice classic and sporty combination with all dials.

I went mint green, fluted, oyster and couldn’t be happier .

I prefer the classic look of jubilee with fluted bezel for the DJ.

I like this thread. It shows how we all have differing opinions on the perfect combo.

I went for the opposite (mainly as it was the option offered out the blue...or green).

Jubilee and fluted for me.

[rmagoo57]

Go with the jubilee on the DJ. Plenty of other models are only available with the oyster.

[DJFanUK]

For me it's this..... beat of both worlds

[JoseR]

Smooth oyster.

[ArtNouveau]

My first two Rolex decades ago were both Jubilee/fluted and with blue dials, second one in tutone. If I was buying one now it would be the same.

[njlam]

The best thing about the DJ is that it is the most personalizable Rolex model.

Jubilee vs Oyster, TT vs SS, fluted vs smooth, 36 vs 41, all the dial colors and all the types of markers make this watch a better reflection of the owner's style/personality than any other Rolex model.

Its hard just to own one...

[ltmgeller]

Jubilee for me
