I like them both.

I do prefer the Super Jubilee on the Datejust and the brushed center link Oysters on my Explorer and Sub.

Another shameless excuse to post pics again.

Geberally, prefer the oyster. The jubilee does look nice on the "dressier" models, e.g. DJ and DD.

I like them both, but think I favor the oyster a little. In fact, I'm hunting an oyster bracelet for my T-Bird.

In my opinion, jubilee watch bands should be on gold watches, and oyster bands should be on stainless steel watches. That is how I look at it.

Depends on the watch....

TT DateJust = jubilee all the way
TT GMT = jubilee or oyster
SS GMT/Sub = oyster all the way

I agree. I find the oyster is sportier with a younger feel. However, I am torn when it comes to the TT Datejust.

It depends on the watch. On a DJ I prefer Jubilee for example, but on a Sub I would have to go for an Oyster bracelet.
