Rolex ever make a DJII with a Jubilee bracelet?

I guess I am wondering why they only offer an oyster with the DJII when the Jubliee has always been synonymous with the DJ.

Thanks kind friends.

I looked to see if I could find any of those for sale, but the only ones I found were the kind of Rolex no one here would be interested in.

Oh i hope so. It makes sense to offer it as an option - Basel 2011 fingers crossed.

I definitely think it was a strange design choice to offer only the fluted bezel with the oyster bracelet on the DJII. I would love to see the super jubilee make its way to the DJII and I would also like to see a domed bezel/oyster bracelet option.

i can sort of see why Rolex only offered the solid Oyster bracelet for the DJII...

maybe by now they have engineered a "stronger" 21mm Super Jubilee for the DJII range... bring it on Basel 2011

the DJ2 would be an absolute smash if it had the jubilee

That's exactly what I'm waiting for. Hope they introduce it at Baselworld.

Hope to see this at some point in the future. A winner, indeed!

I think they worry if the jubillee will get stretched if placed on a DJII. The head of the DJII is much larger and heavier, and therefore, the bracelet will hold more weight and probably stretch faster and easier.

Rolex used the classic jubilee w/ hollow center links on 40mm GMT's for decades so I doubt the fear of stretch was a consideration with the super jubilee on the DJ II. Solid links don't/ can't stretch. They can, over a long period of time without proper cleaning maintenance, show wear on the pins. But a very insignificant issue on the super jubilee.
