Which do you prefer and why? I only own oyster bracelet watches, Very curious on how the jubilee feels and performs!

I like em both , but I prefer the oyster

kgglonghorn · 6 February 2010, 11:51 AM

I prefer the jubilee, but have only had it on a DJ. I did just order a jubilee for a GMT and am anxious to see how I like it.

Never wore one but the jubilee looks like an old mans watchband......

Safetrends · 6 February 2010, 11:53 AM

I own both and I am an old man!

Yup! Me too! The jubilee is more flexible and conforms to the wrist better - thus more confortable IMHO. But its also more fragile and prone to wear and failure than the oyster because of its thinner links and pins.

HI, weedhopper!

I feel that the Jubilee bracelet looks more formal and the Oyster looks slightly more casual / robust.

I like them both but for different occasions.

Just my opinion folks.....

Oyster all the way for me...

I have both and like them both.
The Jubilee (TT) ages faster, because it stretches more with time than the oyster

I love the Oyster but I purchased a Jub to put on my ToG and I love that look. Also the GMTII looks great on a Jub....as displayed by Dan Pearson.

erock · 6 February 2010, 01:05 PM

Personally I prefer the jubilee on the datejusts with the fluted bezel and the oyster on just about everything else.

Although I'm very, very fond of the Jubilee bracelet, I have to say that it depends on the model. To me, a DJ must be on a Jubilee. However, an Explorer just wouldn't look right except on an Oyster.

I have a jubilee on a GMT, but can't pull it off like Dan Pierce does

Have to agree with all the oyster love. Tougher and more confidence-inspiring. Like your watch can handle whatever activity you put it through.

I bought a Jubilee for my Pepsi after seeing all the pics on here. After fitting it to the watch it was comfortable but just did not look right to me. Almost like a GMT/Datejust combination. It seemed wrong when the Pepsi was lined up with my other Rolex Sports watches in my box with Oyster bracelets. They looked right and the GMT seemed wrong and not as substantial. I put the Oyster back and normality returned!!
I then sold the Jubilee!
