I'm thinking of flipping for or adding a DJ as my collection is very professional & oyster model heavy.

Anyone ever gone the jubilee route on a DJ and later regretted it wishing they got an oyster instead?

Thoughts and opinions. Thanks in advance.

jlevitt9 · 7 August 2018, 07:05 AM

DJ = jubilee + fluted bezel. (can lock thread now, thanks).

All seriousness, I can't add value as I only have the Oyster bracelet, but just my .02.

MTBer · 7 August 2018, 07:24 AM

I’m a huge fan of the fully hidden clasp on my DJ36, but I will admit that having zero adjustability to compensate for small changes in wrist size can be uncomfortable. I can’t imagine why Rolex didn’t include at least one of the 1.25x links with the watch.

Rolex_Jack · 7 August 2018, 07:27 AM

I have an older jubilee that I really like. Want a new one, but want to wait until the updated clasp comes out on the WG bezel. I think I will like the new jubilee more than the old with it’s easy link extension.

On a DJ the jubilee bracelet is the better choice IMO. I've owned 5 DJs so far and never once considered the oyster. My reasons were (1) simply looks better; (2) does not show scratches as easily; (3) more comfortable. The introduction of the easylink clasp on the DJ41 and on the latest TT 36mm adds just one more reason to go jubilee.

Agree 100% in my opinion. That is the spec I have on mine and am very happy with it.

100% agree here.

VicLeChic · 7 August 2018, 07:45 AM

If I was to add a DJ, it would be on Jubilee. Not entirely sure if fluted or smooth bezel but I know I would avoid the Oyster bracelet since I already have them brushed and with PCLs so a change would be good.

Strummer25 · 7 August 2018, 07:47 AM

No regrets whatsoever. Super comfortable and perfect on my DJ

tommy91 · 7 August 2018, 07:49 AM

Has to be jubilee on DJ. I have DJ2 with oyster which is ok but nothing compares to comfort of my 16233 witb jubilee. I have tried DJ41 with jubilee and its very comfortable also. I am sure one day in the future i will add another DJ and i will make sure its on jubilee

imperio · 7 August 2018, 07:52 AM

If I ever got a DJ, it would have to be on a Jubilee. I prefer the look of the president bracelets more than I do the Jubilee, but I don't own either... (yet)

dricig · 7 August 2018, 07:53 AM

I think the jubilee is more comfortable on the DJ as well as on the professionals.
I have a Jubilee for my 16710 GMT and like it more then the oyster.

gccmd · 7 August 2018, 07:56 AM

Jubilee for sure.

zjd168 · 7 August 2018, 08:01 AM

Yup, didn't go for it earlier

I think the oyster bracelet gives it a younger more sporty look vs the jubilee so I think it comes down to will this watch be for dress only or more all-around & casual? To me the oyster works much better with shorts and tshirt

from what i see right now a lot of younger people are going for the jubilee bracelet

i have no regrets either. i feel like it pops more and compliments the fluted bezel a lot better than the oyster bracelet

BzKneez · 7 August 2018, 09:12 AM

no regrets at all, its actually my most comfortable bracelet compared to the president, oyster and oysterflex bands.

Juantxo · 7 August 2018, 09:28 AM

Nope, no regrets. The Oyster might be a bit sturdier but the Jubilee is more comfortable.

SLS · 7 August 2018, 09:31 AM

I really do not care for the look of the Jubilee, wears nice though.

jaw · 7 August 2018, 10:18 AM

Just received a DJ41 and Jubilee was a must for me - Love it.
Jubilee is a classic old-school look IMO.
Only wish the center links weren't polished.

Still wish for a spare Oyster bracelet to dress it down on occasion.
I'm told Rolex won't allow buying/selling just a bracelet - Bummer.

Pacha · 7 August 2018, 11:09 AM

Have both for my 16803 and 16570. This gives me the option to have whatever appeals to me on any given day.

Pacheco · 7 August 2018, 11:21 AM

Super light and comfortable.

May be my favorite Rolex bracelet and I have all 3.

Rocket_Man · 7 August 2018, 04:44 PM

I'm struggling with this too. And maybe the lighting in the AD makes it worse, but here is what I'm thinking...

- DJ41 Fluted with Oyster because Fluted and Jubilee and just too much of a light show. I wonder how this combo is in the real world.

- DJ36 Fluted with Jubilee. The slightly smaller size is a little more subdued.

DP63 · 7 August 2018, 05:03 PM

I traded my DJ with jubilee for a sub a looong time ago .... its at the top of my list to be added to my collection .... there is something just right about a DJ on a jubilee

Mephist · 7 August 2018, 05:39 PM

I got both oyster and Jubilee bracelet. I prefer the Jubilee over the oyster. On my wrist it sits better, I think that is because the jubilee links are much smaller then the oyster links, so because of that they can form an even better circle form then an oyster bracelet. I also have the super jubilee and love it. However the great thing about the oyster bracelet is the oyster micro adjustment. That is a great feature.

But if I could only have one I would without a doubt choose the jubilee.

faz · 7 August 2018, 05:57 PM

Jubilee definitely more comfortable , but I found it would pull on my wrist hair a lot more than oyster does. No one else has this issue??

I have walked around with a jubilee for a decade and it have never ever pulled a single wrist hair that did not have it coming

Neither have the oyster bracelet for that matter. However I have had watches from other brands where it seems like the sole function of the bracelet is to pull out every wrist hair I got.

Snow-Dweller · 7 August 2018, 06:51 PM

I’ve had my DJ41 for six months now, and it’s my first Jubilee. I absolutely love it. I’m also heavy on sports models. This is such a contrast to the Oyster.
