Jubilee for me. It looks more dressed up and less sporty.

Really depends whether you want an all round watch or dress up watch. I think jub goes really well dressed up but not so well with jeans. Oyster on the other hand works in both situations. I personally like the jub but if this was going to be my daily beater, I'd pick oyster

jubilee is more comfortable, plus it looks more sophisticated and elegant as a dress watch.

To me, and I have had both, the Jubillee is nicer, but the oyster is more durable long term

Great DJ model you selected. I would personally go Oyster for the bracelet.

Just wondering..is the Easylink feature at all important to you? I believe that is only available on the Oyster.

For me with the particular watch I like the oyster with PCLs. With fluted bezel it would look better on the jubilee.

With that bezel, I like the oyster. More understated. Fluted, go jubilee.

I agree. Oyster with a domed bezel, Jubilee with a fluted bezel. Here's mine (that's in the for sale section) on a jubilee with fluted bezel

Love that dial. Actually, I have both bracelets for the same watch. Originally came with the Jubileee, I switched it out for the oyster bracelet that's standard on the 36mm Oyster Perpetual watch (same case as the DJ). It's all brushed and solid links, beefed up clasp. Haven't taken it off in two years. Go figure.

So...I'm really not much help.

I agree with what a few have already said, oyster with the polished bezel, jubilee with the fluted.

This maybe right. I really like the OP's with the oyster bracelet. To me it's very classy but on the one above with the fluted bezel I really like the Jubilee.
