Let's also mention the comfort comparison. And since I only have oyster, I wouldn't know how to compare.

Besides the look (sportier look of Oyster versus dressier look of Jubilee), the Jubilee is more comfortable in the wrist than the Oyster once you have the right fit. Most modern Oyster bracelets comes with either easylink or glidelock, which allows some adjustments on the fit without the need of tools, but that can also be made on the older jubilees with a clasp (65210H, even a toothpick) or on the newer ones with easylink.

For me it is the oyster bracelet. I have three Subs and the Glidelock clasp makes these watches a perfect fit every time.

I prefer Jubilee bracelets, especially because I am a GMT/Datejust guy. I still gotta pick one up for my 16710!

Oyster. I think they just look more masculine and sporty. Love it on the GMT BLNR.

Oyster for me...but really anything as long as it has some sort of adjustable clasp and enough removable links to get a good fit.

I've had an oyster, jubilee and president on my GMT. IMHO the GMT is made for the jubilee, and it's the most comfortable that I have found.
On my 36mm explorer the oyster is the best looking. It depends on the watch. |

I have all three. While the look is a matter of taste, the most comfortable, by far, is a two tone jubilee on a Datejust I've had for over 30 years.
Over time, the gold center links have stretched in a manner that conforms to my wrist, making it super comfortable, but it isn't stretched out enough to look ugly. When I first joined TRF, and learned about Michael Young and his marvelous work restoring bracelets, I thought for a bit about sending it to him, until I put my DJ back on, and it dawned on me how wonderfully broken-in it has become. |
