Perhaps a quick poll? Which do you prefer? Sorry...no love for you 41mm owners.

DateJust 36 on Nato
Datejust 36 on Jubilee
DateJust 36 on Oyster

Jubilee for me.

I would have thought no on the nato, but it it looks pretty good with that color combination.

Globule · 18 May 2016, 06:26 AM

Most definitely ,,, no!

capote · 18 May 2016, 06:27 AM

Not really

stil · 18 May 2016, 06:30 AM

I tend to agree...Jubilee is the best.

Thanks...I think I got lucky on the photo though. Wearing it felt awkward though.

I'd prefer leather as an alternative to the Jubilee.

jrs146 · 18 May 2016, 06:43 AM

Sorry, Nato should be reserved for the Submariner. Oyster or Jubilee for DJ. Both have a very good look.

HERITAGE82 · 18 May 2016, 06:44 AM

I like it!

Well...I screwed the pooch on this one. Missed the "poll checkbox" on the thread creation.

Can a moderator open that back up or do I have to start over?

douglasf13 · 18 May 2016, 06:49 AM

I used to do the same with my silver dial DJ, but I didn't have a fluted bezel, so it seemed a little more tool'ish in my case. I'm not sure that it works with the fluted bezel.

Keep in mind that the fluted bezel on a DJ off it's Jubilee bracelet is not much more blingy than, say, the fluting going on around the Submariner's bezel.

In his case, he's got what I think is the most tool-like DJ being that it's all SS with a silver dial and markers, but I'd see him put it on a vintage leather strap, not nylon. I think it's the nylon that's not working. Leather should look as good as the one above.

I agree about the leather. I'm just saying that I think DJ's can work on nylon if they have the domed bezel (mostly just the silver, and maybe black, dials.)

ShneaSIG · 18 May 2016, 07:08 AM

Jubilee for me.

Bluside · 18 May 2016, 07:42 AM

Not for me.

dbhak22 · 18 May 2016, 07:50 AM

C'mon guys, the Oyster isn't THAT bad with a fluted bezel is it? :) I know it's a bit sacrilegious but I love the combination:

...and I am also a big fan of Datejusts + leather:

So in summary, my Datejust is not that popular on TRF, :(

Annan · 18 May 2016, 07:56 AM

Metal bracelets only for the Datejust IMO.....

eco8gator · 18 May 2016, 07:57 AM

Sports watches yes.

Dressy watches...a nice leather strap maybe but a NATO is pushing it.

Just my opinion...

If you like it rock it.

Hollister · 18 May 2016, 07:59 AM

Who cares what we think, it's your watch. Rock it.

landroverking · 18 May 2016, 08:11 AM

No. Jubilee or nice leather IMO.

I definitely prefer the leather look if not jubilee.
