Jubilee or Oyster bracelet, which is most ladies wearing now days?

chicfarmer1 · 17 January 2013, 10:35 PM

I would expect Jubilee but am not certain.

Most people think of the Jubilee as more dressy and the Oyster as more sporty. Also, consider the combo of bezel and bracelet--the traditional Rolex look is fluted bezel with Jubilee and smooth bezel with Oyster. However, this is subject to an individual's choice...I've definitely seen a fluted bezel DJ with an Oyster bracelet, for example.

The other factoid is, most people find the Jubilee more comfortable on the wrist. I know that our Lisa feels that way, having had both types.

kilyung · 18 January 2013, 01:36 AM

Jubilee is far more comfortable.

kcmo · 18 January 2013, 04:00 AM

I love both, and have struggled with the same dilemma.

My DJ has the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel and to me, it's classic 'Rolex'! The bracelet is super comfy, and a bit more dressy.

My very first Rolex...a DJ as well...was purchased years ago and on an oyster bracelet. A bit more casual looking. I loved it and wore it daily for 2 or 3 years before deciding to upgrade to the newer style DJ. That's when I switched to the jubilee bracelet.

You can't go wrong with either! I'm not sure if it's important to you or not, but the oyster WILL show scratches whereas the jubilee pretty much conceals them.

I'd suggest that you try on TONs of 31mm varieties to see which feels the best!

mmmk604 · 18 January 2013, 06:49 AM

I know a few females with Rolex watches. They either wear Jubilee or President bracelets.

fredtwe · 18 January 2013, 06:56 AM

I would say, Jubilee bracelet

77T · 18 January 2013, 07:09 AM

Sometimes is depends on the watch, too.

A Mid-YM? Oyster is only choice!

36mm anything? U pik'em...

Gold, TT or Diamond dial Ladies DJ? Must be Jubilee methinks.

Otherwise try out several options and choose what appeals to you.

sms715 · 18 January 2013, 12:33 PM

My wife prefers the jubilee

GradyPhilpott · 18 January 2013, 01:02 PM

Personally, I don't find that the Oysters on my Sub and Explorer are more or less comfortable than the Super Jubilee on my DJ.

I do think that the Jubilee looks a lot better than the Oyster with the PCLs.

gargamel647 · 18 January 2013, 02:01 PM

I bought a super jubilee for my wife'sGMT coke, she hated it. I put the oyster back on.

Happy wife, happy life I guess.

Rick Putnam · 18 January 2013, 02:16 PM

My wife wears an oyster bracelet and loves it.

Not a great picture, but it's on my phone.

sea-dweller · 18 January 2013, 02:16 PM

Oyster for sports models and Jubilee for DJ's with fluted bezels.

joe100 · 18 January 2013, 03:01 PM

Jubilee for the ladies models unless it's a vintage GMT

Trouble15 · 18 January 2013, 03:25 PM

To me jubilee says classic Rolex. Try them both on & see which one you prefer.

DottyParka · 18 January 2013, 03:44 PM

I'm considering purchasing a DJ soon and knew as soon as I was presented with the choice between the Jubilee and Oyster bracelets that it was all Jubilee, all day for me. Just one woman's opinion.

rr-nyc · 18 January 2013, 05:06 PM

I see more women wearing jubilee but I, as well as my wife, prefer the oyster bracelet

mikkolopez · 18 January 2013, 07:03 PM

I believe it'd be jubillee rather than oyster. I for one like the jubillee on my dress Rollies while the oyster on my Sports Rollies.

kbutler971 · 18 January 2013, 08:27 PM

My wife wears a Jubilee on her WG/SS Datejust. I'll keep (for now) a Jubilee on my Thunderbird, the Oyster is good for my Explorer I, SD, and WG DD. Both are fantastic, just different, but for me the Jubilee is more comfortable. In fact, am currently considering picking up another GMT II so I can wear it with a Jubilee, to me that feel/look is iconic. Flipper's regret onthat one.

andyboy39 · 18 January 2013, 08:31 PM

Definitely Jubilee...

amvd · 18 January 2013, 09:02 PM

I love mens watches on women wrists. specialy the ones with oyster bracelet, like sports models.
That is my choice.

Oooh, love the pink dial! Your wife is lovely!

rdschreiner · 19 January 2013, 04:21 AM

With my wife's wrist size at about 5.5 inches, I think she would have a hard time pulling off Oyster, especially with the large clasp on the underside of her wrist.

darkside7 · 19 January 2013, 04:39 AM

My fiancée wears oyster only.

Time2time · 19 January 2013, 06:07 AM

Jubilee!

JJL · 19 January 2013, 07:01 AM

The good news is you can't go wrong with either - but jubilee is said to be a little more comfortable, and a touch more elegant IMO.

My wife wears jubilee on her DJ, but she also loves the oyster. Both great.

mjclark32 · 19 January 2013, 07:03 AM

I've seen jubilee on most women wearing Rolex

Annan · 19 January 2013, 07:34 AM

My wife wanted an Oyster on her TT DJ but has since wished she had the Jubilee. The only reason is she feels the PCLs have proved to be such a scratch magnet. The watch is great looking however and after a year she still loves it.

Bill pilgrim · 19 January 2013, 07:56 AM

My wife picked Oyster for her DJ
