This is the one I asked about last week. It's an aftermarket made by Milano. It's nice, very heavy and feels quite sturdy. I can't say I'm thrilled with it, but for $200 it's not bad. I'm still looking for a genuine one though.

What do you all think? Bare in mind, my photo skills suck

Looks pretty good..

That one's ready for the Captain's chair...

nsolga · 27 February 2008, 12:30 PM

what about shot of the clasp?

Dan Pierce · 27 February 2008, 12:33 PM

Looks good CJ!

I'll keep an eye out for the real deal too, as always.

How's this?

mdx77 · 27 February 2008, 12:32 PM

Doesn't look to bad! I don't know why they don't offer this band!

CPCC · 27 February 2008, 12:36 PM

Looks awesome!

kcmo · 27 February 2008, 12:36 PM

I think it looks great CJ! I understand you want the 'real' thing, and hopefully you'll still track one down. In the meantime, I like this look!

Leighton · 27 February 2008, 12:36 PM

Looks good to me!

jasonbellevue · 27 February 2008, 12:36 PM

Not bad looking, CJ.

Alcan · 27 February 2008, 12:44 PM

It looks good, and it's an honest bracelet. No maker's logo on the clasp.

BuffaloRolex · 27 February 2008, 01:01 PM

Looking sharp, CJ!

Agreed.

You can wear it without worrying about scratches.

Texsubmariner · 27 February 2008, 01:05 PM

I like it! It's a great deal for $200.

Defiancekofb · 27 February 2008, 01:22 PM

very Nice!

Wildwing · 27 February 2008, 01:40 PM

Excellent look, and great fit on the end pieces, not always easy to do. Nothing wrong with that bracelet at all.

lildragon · 27 February 2008, 02:04 PM

Steel of a deal! =-)

neilgader · 27 February 2008, 03:13 PM

Looks great CJ. How did you settle on the Milano? there are so many after market sellers, -did this one have something the others were missing?

Lol-x · 27 February 2008, 03:30 PM

It looks pretty nice to me, and at $200 you will not have to stress out about stretching the links, but I guess that's is part of the jubilee look anyhow.

Anyway I think it looks cool, and I know the jubilee feels real nice on the wrist.

JJ Irani · 27 February 2008, 03:35 PM

Not bad, Craig.....hope you can get the real McCoy soon!!

Gaijin · 27 February 2008, 04:28 PM

Looks great C.J.!

SPACE-DWELLER · 27 February 2008, 09:02 PM

Congrats!

Had I not known it's an aftermarket bracelet and/or seen the clasp, I could have been fooled by that one. This will be a good substitute until you get a Rolex Jubilee bracelet.

redshirt1957 · 27 February 2008, 10:59 PM

Looks good C.J. I agree with Bo's comments above. I will keep my eye out for a Rolex bracelet. I am lazy so I will ask this question instead of looking up the answer. What Rolex bracelet number should I be looking for?

I think it looks fine, but I definitely know what you mean regarding a genuine Rolex Jubilee, Craig. I will keep my eyes open for an authentic one. I see them available quite often on eBay. Would you be willing to get it from eBay if the deal is right?

Let me know, my friend!

ebay scares the hell out of me, but if you think it's OK, that's good enough for me

C.J. · 28 February 2008, 06:01 AM

Thanks for the kind words, all. I really like the look of the Jubilee on the GMT, it just bothers the hell out of me that it's an aftermarket. We have a big antique show come into Atlantic City pretty soon, so I'll try my luck at finding a genuine on there. Plus, several members have offered avenues to pursue. I'm grateful for them and following up on them all. If all these don't pan out, I may get lucky buying one in the Bahamas in a couple of months. Either way, I'll end up with a real one sooner or later.

By the way, Steve, you couldn't be more right. The Jubilee is soooo much more comfortable than the Oyster
