116200: Oyster or Jubilee Bracelet?

Which is more desirable and/or popular for the SS Datejust?

Personally prefer the Oyster, though not a fan of PCLs.

Curious what others here think.

Oyster for sure, 116200 is a true stunner and on my wish list!

Oyster for me - Jubilee looks a little funny with the domed bezel in my opinion, it works far better on the 116234

I don't blame. That's a beauty - one of the three dials I was considering.

I just ordered my 116234 and I'm anxiously awaiting her. I tried on ever combo and I found jubilee to be extremely comfy but a bit dressy for my everyday wear.

I went with oyster bracelet and fluted bezel and I think the combo stunning!

At the end of the day I think it comes down to:

1. Extremely comfortable and slightly formal (jubilee)
2. Rugged / strong and a little more casual (oyster)

Just MHO!

Let us know which way you chose my friend!

Both bracelets look nice. Oyster appeals to me as being more masculine between the two.

True. I'm leaning towards the black index dial with oyster bracelet. Love the roulette date on it which is only available with certain dials.

Thanks Brandon. It was meant to be a quickie as I prefer non-wrist shots, but a member asked for one when I posted my newly-acquired thread. I like it, but wish I had set the time to 10 past 10!

a minor detail.. your second hand is taking the place of the minute hand, close enough for me!
