Oyster for me. The jubilee looks dated IMO

phampau · 25 May 2011, 05:23 AM

Oyster all the way!

DG123 · 25 May 2011, 05:42 AM

I agree.

I have both and the Super Jubilee is more comfortable than the Oyster. Just my opinion.

DCgator · 25 May 2011, 06:47 AM

I like them both, a lot. DJ has jubilee, GMT, Deepsea, GMTc, and 16610LV has oyster. I would love to have a super jubilee in both SS and TT so I can switch bracelets from time to time. Pls PM me if you know where/with whom I can purchase one.

Art 1 · 25 May 2011, 07:17 AM

Oyster only for me.

landroverking · 25 May 2011, 07:42 AM

I too like both the ease of the oyster as in buffing out, and the jubilee for comfront.

Don't shoot me - it's just my opinion.

I am not a TT fan. But, to me the TT oyster looks dressy and classic. While the TT jubillee looks like jewelery and a little feminine.

spot on

RankinDread · 25 May 2011, 10:08 PM

Prefer the Jubilee...... the Oyster is nice too but the Jubilee looks that little bit nicer.

Puffy · 25 May 2011, 10:09 PM

Nothing compares.

smallcandle · 25 May 2011, 10:53 PM

I can appreciate the jubilee, but I FAR prefer the oyster bracelet!

HKtoter · 29 May 2011, 03:03 PM

Been thinking of getting a SS super jubilee for my 16710.

Rolex is really proud of them. Not cheap!!!

threemonkeys · 29 May 2011, 03:39 PM

I prefer the Oyster only because I think the Jubilee makes my small hand and wrist look a little too feminine. Although I really like the Jubilee. It feels more comfortable and, as I've notice on my wife's Rolex, scratches aren't an issue like they can be on an Oyster (especially with PCLs). I also like the fact that the Jubilee has a little more bling. But again, it just doesn't work well on my dainty wrist IMO.

sherwin · 29 May 2011, 03:42 PM

I would definitely take the jubilee over oyster anyday. Its much nicer to wear on the wrist. But the oyster has a tool/sports edge look over the jubilee.

travisb · 29 May 2011, 09:41 PM

I think it's sportier and better for everyday. I look at the Jubilee bracelet, like you said, as a bit more formal and dressy.

GeoGio Greece · 29 May 2011, 11:06 PM

I use both !!

dddrees · 15 September 2011, 08:27 AM

Another real old thread, but what the heck.

I like them all (Oyster, Super Jubilee, Nato, and Leather), the more options the better.

Ebruner · 15 September 2011, 10:15 AM

I wear the Oyster on all my Rolex watches. Never been a fan of the Jubilee or President. Even my Day-Date is an Oyster.

Lisa · 15 September 2011, 12:46 PM

The oyster wasn't very comfortable, but I have very small wrists. I prefer the jubilee for comfort and I do like that extra bit of sparkle.

jyyanks · 15 September 2011, 12:47 PM

I have the oyster and while I like the look, I feel like it scratches too easily.

LightOnAHill · 15 September 2011, 01:31 PM

I wish the SS oyster had a hidden clasp like the gold Oyster on the DD.

shedlock2000 · 20 September 2016, 07:42 PM

I've always been an SS oyster fan -- but I think that is mostly because I like the tool watch look.

Like others here, I think tool watches generally look better on oysters -- the only exception is the TT GMTs which look more dressy on jubilees; but then again, I suppose you could argue that the TT watches are not really tool watches. I am not a fan of the TT oyster on the GMT TTs.... don't know why, but I don't; on a blusey, though, that TT oyster is an excellent pairing!

With that in mind, I bring you the best of both worlds? An odd pairing: the 1675/3 with SS Oyster:

A much better pairing, IMHO, than the TT oyster:

For dressier occasions, though, this pairing cannot be beaten:

So, for me, it largely depends what you want from the watch!? I'm a GMT groupie, so for me, if I want to wear a tool watch, I oyster up my GMT Root beer; but if I want to go to the opera, I stick it on a jubilee.

Kasper4 · 2 September 2023, 03:04 PM

I am new here, I am trying to replace the crystal on my Rolex ref:16233. Does anyone know where to get one? because it has a chip mark on the corner for about 8 years and I want to replace it but I can not find the original sapphire crystal anywhere. Also I don't know if it has the Rolex logo on it or it is too old. Any help would be appreciated.

jayceeho · 15 May 2024, 11:03 AM

Jubilee gives it its classic look but I'm bias cause I saw that on my father's wrist going up :P
