Any Dj41 2 tone jubilee Owners?

Im interested in buying this watch. I was wondering if anyone that has it can share their opinion on the watch. (Pros/cons if any) I love the Jubilee band, I was wondering if the band would stretch on the new model? Thanks in advance

The band will stretch over time but it has to do with dirt and rubbing of the metal rods holding the links together. If you clean your bracelet with a steam cleaner periodically you can decrease the risk of stretch. Buy it if you love it. You can always replace the bracelet if it gets too loose for your liking.

I've been a TT DJ wearer for many years and have had several models, all on jubilee bracelet. The 126333 is by far my favorite and think I've finally found the perfect DJ. No worries about the bracelet. Just take care of it (keep it clean) and it will take care of you.

Loving the Jubilee on my new SS DJ41. Feels sturdy but very comfortable.
The TT versions look fabulous as well. Love the gold or white dial ones.

So the jubilee on the DJ 41 is not a super jubilee but rather with clasp?

I prefer the super jubilee clasp ... but, there is a lot to be said for Glidelock. Too bad they haven't figured out or just won't do a hidden clasp Glidelock. Now, THAT would be something awesome.

I loved the look of the hidden clasp on my 36mm DJs but always wished they could be easily adjusted when needed. The easylink feature on the new DJ41 was a major reason I bought one.

The jubilee is rock solid. Very comfy to wear. Keep it clean and stretch won't be an issue.

Yes, the Jubilee on the DJ41 has the clasp that you can see in my pic above.
The obvious advantage is that is features the Easylink 5mm adjustment system like most modern Oysters have. [eg on the GMT IIC and Explorer.]
This was a big plus factor for me as I love to be able to adjust the bracelet during the day.
As far as I know the Super Jubilee predates this feature.

Totally love this watch. If I was ever to flip my SS DJII for a DJ41 I think I would go for this exact TT model. Looks great

Until Rolex upgrades the clasp to match, I would have to go Oyster.

I don't have it but I tried it on today and yesterday. Much better fit than dj 2.

My wife hates gold and tt watches but loved the dj 41 in tt jubilee with champagne face.

That is nice with the jubillee with clasp. Makes for better centering of the clasp.

Though I did go for oyster on my DJ41.

Had it but traded it for the Hulk, was to dressy for my lifestyle. Was very comfortable though.

I'm having some trouble with this too. The clasp looks out of place to my eyes. Not sure why they went that route

Cost.
And to preserve the status of the DD configuration.

I was torn between the white and the silver dial. Went with the silver dial. Now wishing I had gotten the white!

That clasp sticks out like a sore thumb. Just looks totally out of place in my opinion. When paying $9K and up for a watch, they shouldn't put anything on it for "cost" reasons. That's just ridiculous.

Like you I think it may have something to do with steering people in the DD direction

I don't get the whole clasp issue.

I've had to presidents and I just could not get them comfortable. One DD2 and one 40.

The clasp on the DJ41 is so much better for me. It's super comfortable and I can adjust it when I need to.

I don't think it's cost that prompted Rolex to use the clasp

I think it's the desire to allow for a better fit. And for me, it's so much better.

I love this watch.

I have two TT DJ41's and love them! I think the jubilee is more comfortable than the oyster on my Milgauss.

Just got this one 2 weeks ago and loving it. One of the main reasons I bought it was because I wanted a piece on the jubilee since I already have 2 oysters.
Very classy and comfortable. It might have looked better without the clasp, but it doesn't bother me and the easylink feature is worth it.
