Super Jubilee SS: will it aged or elevate the wearer?

Thoughts about this one TRF?

Might class you up a bit...
Another thread that will no doubt solicit opinions from both sides. FWIW, I like the Super Joob, and couldn't care less if it ages me. At 48, how much more age could possibly be detrimental to my middle-aged image?

The Super Jubilee is so nice, especially on the 16710, does not come any better than that

Do not think it ages at all. I'm 35 and believe the super jubilee classes my daily attire up a lot. In fact, I LOVE my DJ!!!!

The Super Jubilee is and excellent and elegant bracelet and I wouldn't consider buying a DJ with anything else.

I'd actually like to have one for my BLNR, now that we've seen another member successfully put one on a 116713.

Personally I love the jubilee but for some it's not their thing. Most of the younger gen they prefer sports watch with oyster bracelet, just like my friend on his late twenties he has that perception that his grandpa always wear the jubilee most of his time. Like I've said I love the jubilee it is comfortable and classy.

Dan, I think that watch with the super jubilee is nicest example of a gmt master I've ever seen. It sporty, classy, and masculine all at the same time. I'm sure it's super comfy too. I was seriously considering buyin a two tone GMT, but now I might find a MINTER GMT and purchase a super jubilee for it.

Hi!

I believe that like the PCL's it makes the watch look "more formal or elegant"
Just my thoughts!

Cheers

you phrase your question as if "age" and "elevate" are mutually exclusive. if that's your life outlook, you are in for a lot of distress as you reel in the years.

I've heard tell it stimulates hair follicles and improves digestive health. It looks classy, too.

I prefer the oyster for myself, but I think the jubilee looks great on other guys. I don't think it makes you look older, it's just an aesthetic preference. If you like it,mean it with confidence.
