Rolex bracelets !

I am new to wearing a Rolex and paying attention to watches. One initial observation I have is that when compared to other brands, Rolex Jubilee and Oyster bracelets truly do stand out as of exceptionally good design and quality.
Anybody agree, disagree ?

Don't leave out the president bracelets on the day-dates.

I believe, in terms of design of Rolex bracelets, the President and the jubilee bracelets stand out.

Agreed. I can spot either an oyster or jubilee from across the room. Great aesthetic design no doubt !

In total agreement on both counts. Those 2 bracelets are easily recognizable from a distance.

Its definitely getting easier for me to tell the more I look. I agree I like the design of their bracelets. Others I have seen not so much.

I agree with the bracelet quality being good but the new clasps filled a need IMO.

The new clasps I'm really in love with, the deep sea glide lock is a work of engineering origami, reminds me of the complex folding hard tops on current European cars.
