All things jubilee... or not

I've recently picked up a Pelagos 39 and added the jubilee from Unclestraps. Very comfortable and highly recommended.

I then went a bit jubilee happy and started swapping bracelets from/to other watches for entertainment value. I had to play around with different spring bars a bit.

16570 on 63600 (116234 super jubilee bracelet)
116710 on 69200 (126710 jubilee bracelet)
m25407n on Unclestraps Ti jubilee
126570 on 78200 (116710 oyster bracelet)

And just FYI, the 63600 super jubilee can fit the 116710 and 126710. (old news probably)

There’s no doubt it’s more comfortable (to me) than the oyster. I also appreciate that it shows less signs of wear.

Now if Rolex would equip it with a mini glidelock clasp …. You’d have perfection

I have a Sub with an oyster bracelet and a GMT with the jubilee. The oyster has a cleaner look but the jubilee feels like silk on the wrist. So smooth and just hugs the wrist. Slightly more comfortable imo. If the explorer came from Rolex with that black bezel, I’d get it in a second. Very nice looking watch!

Jubilee feels like silk. This one is an American oval link.

Yeah I thought the same. I'd totally rock an Exp 2 white dial with that black bezel. That thing is fire.

I really don't mind if it is Jubilee or Oyster, but then they really look good.

Love these 2 on the jubilee, but putting a jubilee on my Submariner is sacrilege.

I live in hope, although I find the Easylink works well because a slightly loose, floppy Jubilee on a hot day looks and feels better than a loose Oyster.

Is that a real picture ? Looks like it was digitally produced.

Whatever floats your boat. I wouldn’t put a jubilee on a Sub in a million years. It’s like putting aftermarket wheels on a Ferrari.

I agree and find it the same. Generally the easy link is ok and especially for the GMT case.:cheers;

Used to be an option to order the Sub on jubilee once upon a time. Don’t think it looks too bad actually…..
