The problem with the GMT II on Jubilee bracelet

[Marco Panti]

Hey guys

I see a lot of debate over which bracelet looks better on Pepsi or Batman GMTs or even which is the more authentic somehow.

To me though there is something else - be interested in other's thoughts.

When I see the clasp on the current Jubilee, what I see is an Oyster clasp, not a Jubilee clasp, and this just looks wrong to me.

Here we have the Oyster bracelet and clasp, then the Jubilee assembly on a GMT-Master II, finally a complete Jubilee assembly:



Yes, I think no.3 is referred to as a 'super Jubilee' but can you see what I mean?

Also, I feel Rolex compromised the Jubilee by using the worst aspect of the Oyster bracelet, which is the 'scratch magnet' clasp with its PCLs...

I find it hard to get past this, am I the only one?

Am I wrong?
