SKYDweller on Jubilee

If Rolex decided to do this, it would be great..

What do you think guys?

I was actually hoping this would become a reality, for us who prefer the iconic jubilee.

Slight modifications though: a) the lugs of the jubilee should preferably be a little bigger (or stouter?) like that of the DJ41; and b) and come in Rolesor Everose. :-)

Personally, the Jubilee has never been my cup of Tea but the design combined with that Sky Dweller is a nice combo.

Doesn’t work IMHO due to the case thickness.

Well guys,this is just idea..
This bracelet is 20mm and lugs on sky are 22..
In 22mm jubilee bracelet would be very cool.. thicker, bigger stronger..
With this bezel.. mmm sounds perfect to me..

I’d been thinking that this would be a great combo (certainly for the DJ, the fluted bezel and jubilee are my preferred combo), but seeing the photo, I have to agree with you. The jubilee would be too much on the SkyD

I agree. I think it would feel too heavy on a jubilee.

Given how close Skydweller looks to a DJ41, i think Jubilee bracelet wouldn’t be out of place on it. ( picture below from a previous thread on TRF)

I think jubilee will look great with the fluted bezel on sky dweller

The case diameter and thickness absolutely do not work with a jubilee. That case is gargantuan big.

First that's a DJII; second I'd think the Jubilee too flimsy for the mass of the watch!!!

Just wanted to see if you all are paying attention!

I don’t think this thread is about putting the exact jubilee as it appears today on Skydweller. I thought it was a what if discussion. And obviously rolex would have to produce a better stronger version of jubilee for this watch, log size and all.

Anyway, my point is jubilee it is not too out if place on a skydweller, given the visual similarity it shares with DJ/DJ2/DJ41 and success of jubilee on those.

Not for me. Looks more proportionate with the oyster.

Never understood the love for the jubilee,I myself never liked the look and it’s to loose feeling.To me the oyster is the best band there ever was.

Jubilee is a bit too fine for SD, needs a "beefier" bracelet, oyster is perfect.
