Jubilee comfort

I received my Z-serial DJ yesterday - what a fine looking watch! I've always been more of an Oyster bracelet fan, but I must admit this new Jubilee bracelet is nice! SELs, all solid links, hidden clasp, stunning looks... what's there not to like? I apologize for the lousy pics, I haven't had time for an "official" photo shoot . I knew you guys would say "this post is worthless without pics", so I snapped a few w/ my phone.

Nice! I used to be more of an oyster fan as well, and still love it, but my feelings toward the jubilee have changed with the new design....super comfy and great looking with the new clasp!

....that sounds like a valid reason for me to buy a Jubilee DJ (another)....

Congratulations, Jeff!

That is ONE good-looking Rolex!

About the Jubilee: How do you come to terms with the fact that you cannot adjust the clasp?

Instead of adjusting the clasp you adjust the bracelet simply by adding/removing links.

Yeah, that's a bit of a pain. Stopped at my AD yesterday wearing my DJ. The day before, when I put it on it was a tad loose although still not enough to get a pinkie finger under. Yesterday, it was snug with no space at all. I asked him about the link and a quarter discussed here. That's what it is, a link and a quarter. Since I already have additional links in, another link and a quarter is going to be way too much. So I have to live with what I have or be sitting on a spare link. Not a great choice. Seems like Rolex could have come up with something better.

That DJ is a beauty. Enjoy it. I have had my eye on a very similar one with a slightly darker center portion of the dial.

BTW...where about in South Florida?

I've been buying/selling for the past few months. I'm just trying to make a few bucks while having some fun along the way.

Hey Jeff

So what watch do you plan on buying next if you have any plans to do so since you are selling the Datejust? That DJ you currently have looks great, I always liked the red/black numerals on the date.

I haven't thought that far ahead... whatever I can get a good deal on I suppose.
