I am a huge fan of the oval link that I added another to my collection!

While your collection is appreciated, I wouldn't put too much faith and trust in those old Jubilee bracelets....seriously!! You could lose a Rolex watch!!

I'm not sure, but I think I sold Mikey one of the vintage Jubilee bands in his collection. I know I took the photos he uses for his avatar.

Not sure, but I think one of our members, Subma, managed to get one of his older Jubilee bracelets repaired in Hong Kong.

I have gaps in mine and I watch them sometimes, but my physical activity does not put me in danger of losing my Rolex like JJ said. I take the watch off and check my links to see if stress is pulling and making a gap in the links. If there is I isolate and with my stub nose pliers I am able to push together without altering the design. I love the way the band sits on my wrists. Besides, these bands versus the D shaped newer bands that can be immediately identified as authentic Rolex. Most bands with D shaped selling on ebay could be real but most are probably fakes. Thats another factor in owning the vintage jubilee ovals in my opinion. I love my 2 bands and I am glad you have a 2tone version on your DJ!
I would also like to add that I am not a fan of the oyster fliplock, but I am a fan of the Oyster Vintage Rivet with smooth regular clasp. It is just classy and unique.But thats my opinion.

Wow! What great advice regarding the Jubilee Bracelet. The amount and variety of info one can glean from this enthusiast website to become more familar with the idiosyncracies of a Genuine Rolex is just amazing!

Hey, I thought I lost touch with you. Yes, I am proud of the band I got from you. Your photography is awesome. My digital camera is terrible. I have since used a Cap Cod cloth with advice from this forum to make it mirror polish on the other side. I will never forget you. Guys, Subfiend is a first class guy!!
