Who else likes the new Jubilee bracelet?

Personally I prefer it to the hidden clasp.

I think that it is a more current design, plus it has the micro adjustments and EZ link.

I love mine, never could get a proper fit with the hidden clasp ones.

I love it. I still prefer the hidden clasp aesthetically, but I love having a 5mm adjustment.

It's ok. Just doesn't feel as integrated with that clasp. Especially on a DJ. On GMT it somehow works better

I like it. I really wish the latest version of the GMT bracelets and clasps had the micro-adjustment. I assume Rolex will include it on all of the professional line at some point?

Love all iterations of the Rolex Jubilee. Personally prefer it more to the oyster.

Having three generations of Jubilee bracelets I can say the latest is the greatest for strength, adjustability, fit and finish. The Super Jubilee is great, especially from an aesthetics perspective. I love the sleekness of the design and it reminds me of a steel version of my DD President bracelet. The Jubilee on my 16710 (which was newly replaced by Rolex during a recent service) is, of course, a classic but lacks the flip-lock, quick-adjust and has hollow links which give it a significantly less substantial feel.

Are you referring specifically to the Glidelock?

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually prefer the Easylink. It's less finicky than the Glidelock, and I like the look and feel of the shorter clasp. When I owned the Sub, I found that I never needed to adjust it more than 5mm maximum.

I think the Glidelock makes sense on dive watches, but for every other sports model give me the Easylink every time.

I like it on my BLRO. I would prefer the hidden clasp on a DJ.

Love it on the GMT. Comfy, functional, aesthetic. Generally a big Oyster/Glidelock fan, but this new jubilee has me wearing the BLRO all the time.

New jubilee clasp is ok for the professionals although I prefer them on Oyster bracelet . On the classic line mine hidden claps works much better IMO

I love the look and feel of the hidden clasp, but the EZ link is so amazingly functional. It's a tough call.
