AP SS Bracelet vs Rolex Jubilee and Oyster?

[blown5.0]

Hi all,

I have yet to see an AP with the SS in the flesh and was wondering if someone could compare the AP stainless steel bracelet to that of the Jubilee and Oyster in terms of build quality, fit, comfort, durability, etc.? Any experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve got watches with each of these bracelets. In my opinion, jubilee-most comfort, oyster-most fragile, AP-most beautiful...by far.

I have both the AP bracelet and a oyster bracelet.
Definitely the AP feels more solid and wears more comfortable.
Look wise the AP is a winner.

The AP bracelet finishing, construction and with the 15300/400 and forwards has had many great minor improvements. The Rolex although durable, can't be compared / is not in the same league. The AP bracelet wears well (depending on your wrist can pinch but i've never experienced it) and i may be one of the few, but i think the royal oak's bracelet is durable and i dont see many scratches.

I concur AP has a better looking bracelet imo although I’ve seen my share of scratches. Just be gentle with it and all will be good in the world.

This seems to be the general consensus. Thanks all

When it comes to finishing, the two aren’t really comparable.

can't comment on the jubilee, but hands down the oyster bracelets from my hulk and daytona C are more comfortable than the AP RO bracelet on my 15400.
In terms of comfort, there is no comparison, mostly b/c of the pinching I feel with the RO bracelet.

In terms of finish and overall quality, that's a no contest as many others have already pointed out. The AP bracelet is in a league of its own.

Really nice video on the manufacture of the AP bracelet.

AP bracelet is a work of art. Very comfortable, no pinching and a level above any Rolex bracelet.

APRO bracelet much comfortable than my Rolex oyster; looks far better too,

for some reason I always need to do the micro adjustment with the oyster, whereas with the APRO there are no adjustments but I feel I never need to

RO bracelet is amazing - but the lack of micro adjustment or a pull-out half link (as they have on Rolex GMTs) is something I think a brand at APs level and asking price should have done long time ago. I live in a hot and humid climate and when I start my day, the bracelet is slightly loose, but by lunchtime it gets pretty tight. It is not too bad still but it would have made my life a LOT easier if there was a way to micro adjust on the fly, specially for week ends when I spend more time outside and the wrist gets even larger...
