Hi, I am thinking of getting a 116234 (steel Datejust with wg fluted bezel) with the blue roman dial. I can't decide which bracelet I like best with it though. Your thoughts and pictures would be great! Thanks.

Kingair · 10 October 2012, 05:09 AM

I am an Oyster guy . . .

But last week I bought a Datejust with Jubilee . . .

People change . . . ;-)

You can always buy the other later . . .

Good luck and show some pics

The jubilee IMO is more comfortable.

Wllnv19 · 10 October 2012, 05:37 AM

Jubilee is more comfortable and scratches don't show up as much, But I love the oyster and that would be my choice.

Go with oyster man, I was a jubilee man til I actually saw the oyster, the watch feel more powerfull on ya wrist.

I like the all brushed Oyster best. However, when it comes to Oyster + PCL, I'd choose the Jubilee.

RGonzalez328 · 10 October 2012, 05:58 AM

Jubilee is the most classic recognizable band in the market IMO

77T · 10 October 2012, 06:10 AM

I think the fluted bezel would match nicer on the Jubilee.
If you were going into a TOG or a domed bezel DJ, then the Oyster lends more sportiness to the look.

I agree, with fluted bezel I would also go for the jubilee. I also think the jubilee is more comfortable then oyster.

Good luck

esm · 10 October 2012, 07:05 AM

DJ + jubilee = classic

Dr. Robert · 10 October 2012, 07:09 AM

I prefer the fluted bezel DJ on a jubilee.....however, the DJ w/ the dome bezel looks good on oyster or jubilee.

horseco · 10 October 2012, 07:55 AM

I never liked the jubilee, then the super jubilee came out & now I am in love with it...

gwalker · 10 October 2012, 07:58 AM

IMHO I think the jubilee looks somewhat more suited for a DJ with the fluted bezel. It's dressier, shows less scratches, etc. I think think the oyster bracelet looks better on the DJII with a smooth bezel but that's about the only way I like the oyster on a DJ. If you've tried both I think you will agree a jubilee bracelet is much more comfortable.

nauticajoe · 10 October 2012, 08:23 AM

I love the oyster bracelet on sports models, but prefer the jubilee on a DJ.

caryyee · 10 October 2012, 08:41 AM

The Oyster fits the sports watches better, and the Jubilee suits the DJ's more.

Ditto with the Day Dates, they come out in either a President or an Oyster type bracelet, but the signature bracelet is the President. Signature for the DJ's is a Jubilee.

SPACE-DWELLER · 10 October 2012, 08:47 AM

My take is:

116234 + fluted bezel: Jubilee bracelet: "dressy" look

116234 + domed bezel: Oyster bracelet: "sporty" look

joe100 · 10 October 2012, 11:35 AM

Jubilee for the win!

McPGA · 10 October 2012, 12:37 PM

Well I'm going with the minority report. Sorry for the awful pic!

MJD · 10 October 2012, 12:45 PM

Oyster is the bracelet I selected for my DJ a few years ago.

pablofields · 10 October 2012, 12:55 PM

Older relative of what you're considering. Love the jubilee

sea-dweller · 10 October 2012, 01:08 PM

Jubilee with fluted bezel and Oyster with smooth, for me.

MortgageGuy · 10 October 2012, 02:02 PM

Oyster for me

mmmk604 · 10 October 2012, 04:06 PM

I love both, but I have jubilee for my datejust.

G Francis · 10 October 2012, 05:43 PM

Jubilee on a Datejust always! Sub/GMT/Air King whatever on an Oyster bracelet but a fluted bezel and a Jubilee on a Datejust is classic.

slcbbrown · 10 October 2012, 06:21 PM

Jubilee for me. If you want a less dressy look, get the oyster.

Annan · 10 October 2012, 11:35 PM

Definitely go with the Jubilee because it looks better (more classic and dressier) with the DJ and PCLs on the Oyster are a scratch magnet

Oyster is a great bracelet too and I have it on my EXP. The bracelet is brushed however so less scratches.

Bought my wife a TT DJ last year and she insisted on an Oyster despite my arguments. She now admits I was right.

zwatch · 11 October 2012, 12:27 AM

It is personal preference. But I prefer Oyster. Jubilee is lighter than oyster. Best to try one with jubilee and oyster bracelent and then decide.

Engi · 11 October 2012, 01:36 AM

I say oyster

Fluted bezel DJ=Jubilee(iconic)
Domed bezel DJ=Oyster

metsengland · 11 October 2012, 02:23 AM

I have a 116200 (domed bezel) with an oyster bracelet and really like it a lot. I don't want the jubilee on another watch 'just to have something different'. I could do with seeing some pictures for comparisons between the two with the blue dial. I like the smart, casual look, but cannot decide if the jubilee is too dressy to be casual, if that makes sense.
