Did the 1500 SS ate come w/ a jubilee?

And from majority of the pictures I've been finding online and the little info about the watches bracelet I have found.
I'm wondering if this came w/ a jubilee or was this is a bracelet that was added.

Thank you

I believe the 1500 Date came on an Oyster Bracelet only as I have never seen it depicted otherwise.

Strap or bracelet swapping has always been at option at purchase ,,

Even before the oyster bracelet came available in the late 1940s', followed by the jubilee bracelet just a few years later, Rolex ADs have always offered a choice of options to purchasers. In early times, even the simple Rolex leather strap was available in a choice of styles and different leathers. Indeed, the early AD catalogues show a wide range of options.

I'm thinking this is still the case nowadays. While a watch may sit in the ADs display case sporting a particular strap or bracelet, the buyer can still opt for something different if they want it.

A 1500 Date on a jubilee bracelet is a very classy look too IMHO

Jubilee since purchased new.

The watch was serviced at RSC after many years of faithful service. Shown here with a new Jubilee bracelet installed during that service.
