Best Five Link Bracelet

I was at the mall yesterday. Stepped into a store to look at the new Moonwatch. I was shocked the bracelet was not as robust as the Jubilee bracelet. This made me think, who makes the best five-link bracelet?

Rolex gets my vote. Jubilee has been the been the most comfortable and best looking 5 link since the 6251 on the DJ

I don’t have any experience with anything other than my 126710, but it’s very good

The jubilee actually looks nicer from inside out.

I wonder how it compares to Patek and Lange’s five link. I know this is a Rolex forums so it should be bias.

The PP 5 link bracelet on the 5960 & 5036 are like butter. On a different level vs. the Jubilee. Jubilee is excellent, though.

Agreed. PP 5960 5 link is most comfortable bracelet I’ve owned.

No offense, but the chrome finish looks cheap

What's your thoughts on the Fostner flat link bracelet for the speedy?
I don't own one but heard a lot rave about it

I had a platinum DD36 and that bracelet was solid and excellent overall (even the screws were platinum!) — but my favorite, even if it’s not actually five links, is the Patek Neptune / ref5085. Sublime!

Love that piece! I was a holdout on the 5960 bracelet for years. Finally pulled the trigger and now wish I had years ago. It’s the most comfortable I’ve had. New Speedy 3861 bracelet is close and also very comfortable.

Um, sorry to say, but that looks awful…. Just my opinion, of course.
