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..

Rolex offered the classic jubilee on non lug hole cases by providing end links that allowed spring bar access.

There is micro adjustments on the classic jubilee but not on the hidden clasp of the super jubilee.

Then you might want to consider a strap vs a metal bracelet since abuse can happen to any bracelet of any year regardless of construction.

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

Have you worn a Jubilee much; I find mine really the most comfortable bracelet I've got.

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 agree...I think they look terrific on sporty models and they are sooo comfortable. Would love a Basel surprise!

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?

Beware the Walking Thread; a new Jubilee did in deed appear!!!! I like them so much that I did the unthinkable, Jubileed my Exp II. I like it a bit dressier with the Jubilee on it.
