I think the President would be a better option than Jubilee for the big Sky Dweller. Though I still think it makes most sense on Oyster as a big sporty looking watch.

I was thinking similarly but the chance of Rolex making a stainless President is right up there with the chance of them making a stainless, uh, Sky Dweller...

IMO the complexity of the jubilee offsets the simplicity of the DJ. Adding it to the complicated dial of the SkyDweller is too much.

Exactly right.

With the SkyD, all of the attention should be on the dial. Even the President bracelet is too much, IMHO, for the watch.

I have personally never been a fan of the Jubilee bracelet and once again it does not do anything for me on this one either. I would however put a leather strap on it and I think that will dress it up some too.

The Jubilee band make the watch look too busy for me.

For me I always though that watch would look better with some kind of tool bezel vs the fluted and or turned

I’d love it, a 22mm jubilee would be a great option.

Huge fan of this. Fluted bezel and jubilee has always been the classic Rolex combination.

I'm not a Jubilee fan but to me it seems to suit the Sky Dweller as well as the Oyster. I think it looks good on either. I have SS and TT on Oyster. If given the choice I'd still go Oyster for the SS but the Jubilee appeals to me on TT. At least in pictures. I guess I'd need to see it for real. It's good that prospective buyers now have a choice. Choice is good. I might even buy a TT Jubilee bracelet if an AD will let me.

ultimately i think they got it just right on oyster

AD told me that more info will be available in the fall. I hope that Rolex won't limit current owners. I'll be furious.
