Icon11 Newbie Question - What is a SUPER jublilee bracelet?

Please correct if I get this wrong guys & gals =)

From what I can noticed, the major difference is the polished mid part in the bracelet compared to the standard jubilee. Is that correct???

JJ, from what I read here in this forum - you are the most vocal enlightened jubilee guru perched on the Himalaya mountain top. Can you shed some of your wisdom to this humble greenhorn? ;-)

To all, will pls help to explain too.

Cheers, Chris

p/s JJ even had a video dedicated to him on Youtube.

The "super" Jubilee has all solid links...and a hidden clasp. The older model is lighter due to hollow links and has a rectangular clasp.

The super costs about $1350 USD if you can get it...the older style costs about $600...

Fliplock is the flip-over secure lock found on the Oyster bracelet only.

The Super Jubilee has a hidden clasp (quite similar to the President bracelet), so when it shuts, all you see is the crown.

The President bracelet is ONLY available in precious metals - WG, YG, RG or Platinum.

Also, the President bracelet has only 3 links abreast unlike the SJ above which has 5 links abreast.
