Super Jubilee vs Oyster bracelet
So I am going back and forth between the TT datejust with super jubilee and the datejust II.
MY question to you folks that will help me in deciding is what bracelet is more sturdy. I see a lot of older datejust with the hallow jubilee links and many of the look very stretched. However since the super jubilee is solid links will it hold up better in time? The oyster bracelets seem to hold up better especially the newer styles With solid links. But side by side solid links super jubilee vs solid links newer oyster bracelet which will hold up better or since they are both solid means they are equal?? Thanks for your help!! |

I think the Oyster bracelet will continue to be the most durable option. I've seen a few new-style Jubilee bracelets that were as stretched as a thirty year old watch.

Both will preform equally given how they are treated. If abused both will look it. If worn more snug than loose and given a regular cleaning regimen both will last a lifetime.

^^^this. Rolex bracelets are really well made. They will last a lifetime. Comfort wise I prefer a jubilee but appearance wise the oyster on most watches.
Pick the one you like best as both will perform for many years.

I find that the oyster bracelets are more susceptible to scratching, particularly those with polished links.

To me a DJ and a jubilee are like beer and peanuts, or whisky and a fine cigar. Made for each other :-)
Echo the above, like all things, look after it properly and it'll give you good service.
