Pros and cons of the ladies oyster bracelet?

Should I get an oyster bracelet or jubilee? Does oyster show scratches more easily? Can someone show me theirs?

Which watch looks better? The oyster or jubilee?

Arabic = oyster

IMO, you will see more scratches on the polished center links of the oyster bracelet than you will the smaller more complex links of the jubilee bracelet. There’s just a whole lot more flat surface area on the oyster.

Having said that, my wife opted for a 34mm date on oyster bracelet as she wanted something a little more causal wearing.

No right or wrong answer here. Buy what appeals to you most.

This looks nice! Are the scratches very visible? I heard the gold needs to develop a patina to mask the scratches. I wonder how long that takes...

Scratches would bother me... hmm

I’m sorry I don’t have a very good camera to take up close pictures which would show the scratches better.... I suppose there’s your answer

Originally my wife had a TT DJ with a Oyster bracelet. Her second DJ has a Jubilee which she like more as it feels more feminine to her.
