Only an oyster will do for a classic 5512. I could go eitherway on the gmt but if I had to choose I'd still pick the oyster there too

I've never liked a jubilee, on any model. Go oyster bracelet, or go G-shock.

Oyster on a Sub!
I changed to a 93150 many years ago because I didn't like the links opening on the original 9315, but the only other strap I'd use on mine is a NATO.

YMMV,
Rod.

Oyster. To me, the jubilee is more dressy and the oyster is more masculine. Since the sub is a sport watch and therefore more masculine, stick with the oyster.

I like the look of the Jubilee.
It has a more comfortable look and feel to me.

However on 18K yellow gold I will go for an Oyster bracelet 24/7.

I have personally worn a 5512 with an oyster bracelet and say I found it very enjoyable.

Oyster hands down. Never was a fan of the Jubilee especially on a sport model.

Subs don't come with the Jubilee. Nuff said.
