Can anything beat the oyster bracelet?
If given a choice between the two, I much prefer the aesthetic and comfort of the jubilee over the oyster.
Bracelets don’t “stretch”. Lack of maintenance results in worn pins in any style bracelet. Even the “though” oyster. |

Super jubilee for the win...it's like silk on your wrist and looks wonderful.
That said, the oyster is no slouch. |

Nothing more comfy than a 50 year old oval link Jubilee. :)

the president bracelet is more comfortable than the oyster. it is like having a seamless band around your wrist. but is more prone to bracelet stretch.

I mean no disrespect, but I think a new sub, with thinner lugs, jubilee bracelet, glide lock clasp, all in 18k yellow gold, would steal the show at Basel 2020 |

The oyster name is on all Rolex cases since it’s first Datejust to signify they are water resistant and not all of those are technically marketed as dive watches. Rolex WIS content: The Jubilee has been a Rolex icon since 1945 so it’s historical provenance is unquestionable as it was Rolex’s very first in-house bracelet design before the oyster. The oyster bracelet design was not by Rolex but by Gay Frères a independent bracelet company that supplied Rolex with this initial design. The “oyster” name for the bracelet was later borrowed from the water resistant watch case first named the “oyster”. FYI..Rolex wasn’t the primary inventor of the water resistant watch case. Perregaux and Peret invented the first screw in crown that made the water resistant screw on case back “Oyster” possible for Rolex. Shockingly, Rolex marketing likes to take credit for the entire process. |

Love the oyster for utility but the President feels like silk on the wrist

I like all three options but the DD belongs on the President as the DJ belongs on Jubilee. Oyster tops for everything else. Yes even the GMT.

Think about this, the heavier the bracelet the more friction in the joints . Heavier/ solid are sometime marketing words that don't mean much in the real world.

Oyster is the best bracelet ever made for me, because I´m very hairy and never pinch my hair.

Honestly I’m with you 100% OP! I’ve tried Everest (rubber) straps twice and have never lasted longer than a week.

Would you buy it? Purely speculation on your part. Personally I think jubilee bracelets look horrible on the Submariner. Like installing Bentley wheels on your Porsche
