I agree. I am not a fan of the jubilee bracelet at all.

I like it, it's funny as I was never a fan of the jubilee untill I tried one on and fell in love with the comfort of it, that sold me! I like the dial on your watch, very classy!

Gotta agree with you on this one, JJ!

I love the silver dial, though!

I like the oyster, but prefer the jubilee on a DJ....especially with the fluted bezel.

A jubilee is at home on a DJ, and I prefer it.

Just bought one 2 weeks ago. White face, roman numerals, and jubilee bracelet. So far I love it.

Oyster bracelet completes case shape like no other. Both are designed to look great together

I've owned a few Rolex with Jubilee bracelets, and have never been a fan of them. Now all my Rolex have oyster bracelets, durable, and they truly are made for these cases, the look of how they flow and complete the case is incredible.

The oyster bracelet looks good! I was never a big fan of the Jubilee.

Strap's not bad either. But I concur with the majority of the sentiments - fluted with Jubilee, dome with Oyster. No matter, if your watch is what you want, that's the most important!

I've always been a big fan of the Oyster - never really cared much for the Jubilee (but I have never tried it on either). The leather strap looks really cool!

Hi Everyone,

New to the forums. It also depends on dial selection, some jubilee don't look right while the oyster might be a better choice. When I purchased my datejust they had both the jubilee and oyster. You can see which I one I choose.

Love the DJ's... My vision of the ultimate DJ...



Maybe a bit over the top but... Great offset to the sports watches I already own. I like the WG models as well but, two constants define the DJ, IMO...

Fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet.
