How does the two bracelets stretch, compared to each other? Will a solid jubilee still be in good shape in 20 years?

Is the. Oyster bracelet a better choice?

The metal does not stretch its simply down to wear what happens the dirt sweat from normal wearing gets between the bracelet link pins.,and acts like a abrasive with the flexing of the wrist and elongates the link pin holes.Just keep them clean with regular washing, cannot see then why any Rolex bracelet cannot last 20 plus years. Myself prefer the oyster type bracelet just wear both Jubilee or oyster a snug fit just so you can get a pinkie finger under the clasp.

Showering reqularly with the bracelet getting soap and water helps. To answer your question however, I believe the Jubilee wears more due to a more flex points; this is also why it's mre comfortable in the first place.

I've only had mine (Super Jubilee) for a year now. Also I wear it in rotation, but I keep it clean and snug and no ill effects so far.
