I've always been drawn more to the oyster bracelet! I do like the jubilee for its comfort and traditional 'Rolex' look, and the presidential is beautiful too.

Oyster
Jubilee
President

Hi,

I've had direct personal experience with:

Jubilee
Oysterquartz President-type
Oysterquartz Jubilee-type

and for me, the most comfortable was the President-type on the Oysterquartz Day-Date, with both variants of the Jubilee being a close second. The one I find the most comfortable by far though isn't a bracelet as such - it's the leather strap on my Cellini.

That's like saying the DSSD and SubC clasps are the same.

Voting is most meaningful to those who have actually logged a ton of hours on the different styles. I LOVE my Super Jubilee and I find it crazy comfortable but that alone is not enough to rank the others.

A major key selector for me is how the bracelet style fits into the Rolex styling. I wouldn't want a DayDate on anything but a President. Likewise I want my DateJust on a Super Jubilee and my Submariner or GMT or Milgauss on an Oyster, etc. I feel it is important to preserve the highly recognizable watch head/bracelet combinations.

vintage jubilee was the most comfortable for me, but it just doesn't work with my style.

order will have to be

oyster
jubilee
president

Oyster, presidential, jubilee.

While i like the oyster bracelet the most, I like the concealed clasp on the new presidential and jubilee bracelets. I also greatly prefer the clasps on the Deepsea and Sub C to the bracelet on my Sub 14060M. I love my Sub but I find the clasp to be far inferior to the new one
