jubilee for me

Watchie · 12 January 2019, 09:51 AM

This is an easy one. The DJ41 with a fluted bezel is a dressier watch. Thus, it deserves the dressier bracelet. As an example, ask yourself what bracelets come with the DD40 or the Presidential? In effect, a jubilee.

Second reason to go with the jubilee - scratches. An oyster bracelet with polished center links grows "aged" very, very quickly. The jubilee hides this quite well (and the same point applies to the fluted bezel over the smooth steel bezel).

For me its fluted/jubilee every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Of course, this is only my opinion. I don't necessarily agree with it...

DoctorA · 12 January 2019, 09:54 AM

I have the jubilee and it’s way more comfortable and more dressy than the oyster

I have no problem with oyster bracelets; I actually like them more and feel they're more durable. I also don't like the Jubilees on the larger diameter watches. I just feel they look flimsy.

Oh well, I just saw the choice was already made. Enjoy your new watch!!!

Not sure you can just buy the bracelet from Rolex, but not 100%

Rolex.c6 · 13 January 2019, 10:26 AM

For me any DJ should have a fluted bezel and a jubilee strap.

Nikrnic · 13 January 2019, 10:37 AM

The safe choice is Oyster/Smooth, sporty or Jubilee/Fluted, dressy but there are no rules.

So where can you buy an oyster bracelet for $1500?

lucid · 15 January 2019, 02:50 AM

Oyster all the way.

From your AD. I went the other way. Bought the watch on oyster and added the jubilee, $1500 from my AD. I believe that the oyster is slightly less, but I don't know that for 100% certain. Again, I do know 100% your AD can get the alternate bracelet. It's a matter of do they want to, or are they willing.

Horatio · 15 January 2019, 05:12 AM

Jubilee and fluted or oyster and smooth. You cannot go against that IMO

ostatedchi · 15 January 2019, 05:15 AM

smooth bezel - oyster
fluted bezel - jubilee

mjclark32 · 15 January 2019, 05:18 AM

For a DJ41- Jubilee for me

TheSearcher · 15 January 2019, 05:26 AM

Oyster for me, the polished links look really smart. That being said I am not a fan of the jub bracelet.

This. IMO, no comparison in comfort. And I like the look of the Jubilee more to boot!

This works for me too. I would add oyster shows more scratches, if that matters.
