A new jubilee
Lot of speculation around 'Whats next for Rolex' - Why wouldn't they introduce a new updated Jubilee for the GMT. In my opinion the most comfortable and best looking bracelet ever along with the President?

The superjubilee bracelet isn't that old and can be worn on the GMT (even though it's not standard) without need for update. Should they make it a standard option? I think so. (Works on older 16710 or the newer ceramics)

I would love for them to offer the jubilee bracelet as an option on all their models.
When did they stop offering jubilees on the GMT? Did they stop before the "no lug holes" cases, or did some "no lug hole" GMT models ship with the jubilee? |

Is there any micro adjustment on jubilee?
It seems to me that most guys here want to see glidelock on GMT, I don't know how they would survive without at least some adjustment option.. |

The super jubilee is really great and should be offered as an option on the GMTIIc and DJII.

IMVHO the Jubilee style is old fashioned, dated, and looks ridiculous on a sports SS.
Again IMVHO the Oyster is ageless. No offence, just my opinion fellas |

I would say the jubilee is classic, timeless, and a vintage look will always be in fashion, especially in watches. And looks great on the GMT. IMVHO

The new ceramics are larger and more sporty and so don't work as well on the dressier more classical jubilees so I don't see them coming back.

I'm an Oyster man as well. Jubilees stretch a lot more easily.

oyster man usually, but this jubilee i got for a seiko as an experiment is really feeling nice. thinking of a Datejust possibly but once it gets stretched out, do you buy a new one from rolex or send it for repair?
