I think Oyster, jubilee looks good on the GMT though. Could be because of the thinner case...

Now what did you expect forum full of Purists...

.... I say Oyster all the way. I tried the Jubilee for a while and in the end the Sub just felt and looked right on the Oyster.

As an ex-GMT owner, the jubilee on a GMT is a great look, and I don't see a reason not to use one on a Sub.

I think the sub deserves the tougher look of the oyster. The GMT looks pretty good in jubilee...I wouldn't have guessed that.

The one YOU like more.

I have 2 Oysters and 1 Jub, and use them on the GMT mainly. The 5513 I keep with the Oyster.

Oyster forever.
That's why it took of my Jubilee from my Tudor Sub and replaced it with a NATO.
Problem now is that my wife 'stole' it . . .but it looks really great on here small wrist ;-)
