Agree! Looks more like the tool watch it’s meant to be.

Thought this was a Beatles vs Stones post. I'll cast my lot with the oyster.

The oyster OEM band is by far the best quality option and has the best fit and feel.

Haha, my first thought was Cream!! But seriously, I think the Jubilee band is probably one of the most comfortable steel, gold and steel or all gold bands ever created.

I bought the Uncle jubilee for my Opaline GMT. I wore it for about a week and went back to the oyster. Been thinking of putting 5link back on again and giving it another try.
I just felt like I was trying to make it something it’ll ever be with the 5link.

It certainly depends on the watch. Sub and Batman go well with oyster. The jubilee is perfect with the Pepsi. Just my opinion and certainly everyone has their favorites.

I voted Jubilee, but I would have voted Oyster strap if it weren't for the fake rivets.

I like a Jubilee but I think the OEM Oyster suits it best. As for wearing comfort, that could be different.

The OEM if SS, but I like the blue/red! Makes it look very sporty and different

I voted oyster, but I also really like those new tudor hybrid rubber\leather straps as a possible alternative.

My favorite, and how I wear mine, is leather. But I have to say, the blue canvas looks mighty nice. That's my vote.

I like the oyster by a long shot, with the Jubilee after that. I don't believe either of the other straps look great on this watch and if it was me, I would stick with a bracelet.
