Can anything beat the oyster bracelet?

Switched back to the oyster and to me its just the most beautiful bracelet on a watch. Cant hate on the Rubber B though it's an amazing alternative and more comfortable than the bracelet but the oyster is just pure beauty

They both have strong points; it's nice to have options.

The Oyster bracelet is great but so is the Jubilee. Rolex makes fantastic bracelets.

I have been wearing an Omega Speedmaster lately and the bracelet is so much less comfortable compared to my Rolex watches. I can never understand why Omega doesn't taper their bracelets down toward the buckle.

I prefer the jubilee. I find it more comfortable and is amazing at hiding scratches.

can't speak on comfort but hiding the scratches do makes a lot of sense

Depends on the reference for me.

The oyster just looks right on some and the jubilee looks right on others.

I havent owned a DD but the president is pure awesomeness whenever I try them on

X2. Yes the super Jubilee. Better looking and more comfortable. I own both and the jubilee breaths better and also flows water better when diving. I have owned only oyster bracelets for 30 years as a diver. It wasn’t until this year that I got to own the new super jubilee on the BLNR and put it through various conditions did I realize how much better the bracelet flows over the oyster. It’s significant. Wet or even extreme hot weather it’s more comfortable. I am a believer now.
Put a glidelock clasp on the jubilee and strap it on a Sub and it’s a better total Submariner package IMO.
This is where the Ploprof got it right decades ago using a mesh dive bracelet.

I agree.

To me, the jubilee is more comfortable than the oyster, but the oyster felt stronger than the jubilee.

I’ve never worn a presidential bracelet so who knows!?

In my opinion, jubilee is more comfortable.

Looks?

They are both beautiful. And I love how both look after years of use.

True, jubilee looks better with age on it, less blingy

I have no intentions of installing a jubilee bracelet on my YG Sub. Been wearing Subs on Oyster for over two decades.Completely happy.

Rolex definitely built this bracelet to last. Love that they obsess about making the best quality product.
