Wow!!! I did not read your comments as “patronizing” in the least! Looks to me like you were giving a genuine opinion and trying to be very kind, supportive, and empowering!! You never know what kind of day some people are having, I guess! By the way, I agree with your opinions on this... While I love many of my watches on their original bracelets, I enjoy swapping them out, occasionally, just for fun. But, you wouldn’t believe what kind of grief we got on a different thread, when I asked for suggestions about a temporary change of my wife’s Platona (platinum oyster) bracelet to a strap for a change! (You would have thought I insulted Jesus or Mohammed!!). Enjoy the weekend!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi I got my skydweller after 18 month wait on the oyster bracelet and I’ll be honest when it was in the box I genuinely felt deflated looking at it but when I put it on my wrist I was blown away with how different it looked I absolutely love it, hope you get it soon

Just stumbled upon this thread as I just posted my incoming for my Sky Dweller I just picked up today. For me the jubilee bracelet was what attracted me to the watch after always loving it, but never considering it for purchase.
Here are some pics if they help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would lean toward the jubilee. It looks so perfect with the fluted bezel on my DJ41. It definitely dresses it up a bit (good or bad). Also, I have owned so many oyster bracelets that I look to change it up a bit. Just replaced the oyster on my SD4K for an Everest band and love the new look.

I like the sportiness of the Oyster.

And that’s the “take-home” of all of this: - Oyster is more sporty. - Jubilee is more comfortable and more dressy. A man’s got to know what makes him tick... and what he (or she) is looking for! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

is the AD actually ordering a watch for you or just taking your money upfront and promising to call you up when a watch arrives?

Knowing I can purchase an Oyster from Rolex if I decide also helps. Keep in mind the Oyster will be slightly cheaper than the Jubilee if you decide to purchase a second bracelet…love the black dial SD-would own in a heartbeat if it weren’t too big for me.. |

I was very fortunate to get a Blue Sky Dweller from my AD. He procured a jubilee bracelet and I was not committed to specifying that...would have gladly taken either Oyster or Jubilee but since I have 5 Rolex watches with Oyster bracelets currently I felt the Jubilee would be a great alternative and it has turned out to be just that. The Jubilee gives the watch a more dressy look with greater wrist presence that makes it really pop IMO. I am very glad mine did come with the Jubilee now that I have it. In regards to the way it feels on the wrist...the Jubilee is very comfortable, does not feel top heavy at all and offers the advantage of not showing scratches whatsoever (compared to Oyster which displays scratches very obviously). Here ares some images of my watch on my wrist to consider in making your choice.

One other thing to consider if you are absolutely undecided based on appearance is that the jubilee is currently selling for about 5K more on the grey market. So it may be a more valuable investment but whether or not that will hold long term remains to be seen. This did not sway me in my decision to get a black Daytona 116500 over a white because I preferred that look but if I was undecided I would have gone with the white because it sells for more second hand.

By the way, just because you think you got a patronising reply might not be the best reason to rush in and call another forum member out like that. |

Just saw a good article here discussing the various pros and cons of each one https://millenarywatches.com/rolex-jubilee-vs-oyster/
I really need to go and see some in person over the next month or two. |

Jubilee all the way. My Blue sky d fits and wears wonderfully. My collection is vast and varied but this watch hasn’t gotten any rest since it arrived.

14,800 for Oyster and 15,250 for Jubilee. On Chrono24 and ebay however there is a good 5k average spread between the 2 second hand. |

I own one of each and they are both great!
Most of us seem to think jubilee looks better on a fluted bezel. |

I’m waiting for a blue dial on jubilee from my AD.
I think the SkyD looks good on both options. My daily is a D-Blue so, for me, the extra presence of the jubilee + fluted bezel on the SkyD will give me nice variety in 2 larger watches. Different strokes for different folks - really can’t wrong with either option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The real problem with the Blue Sky on jubilee is that when you wear any of your other watches you miss this one. It ends up destroying your wearing schedule because you can't keep it off your wrist for more than 24 hours. In sunlight it's gorgeous and for dress it kills. Plus it has useful functions and it's quite legible. (unlike my Daytonas which remind me that I'm presbyobic whenever I wear them.)

I think the SkyD needs the oyster ... it's just too big of a watch for a jubilee bracelet. I really didn't understand that move by Rolex.

Choice is not a bad thing. It might lengthen the lead times but this is to be expected. Having spoken to a few SAs about retrospectively changing my TT onto a Jubilee, I've got mixed responses, but the consensus is that it will be possible to buy a Jubilee for a 2020 registered Sky Dweller, sometime in 2021 in the case of my AD.
When my BLRO comes through, my 116610's bracelet is going on it. I wish I had a choice of PCL versus versus matt, but I welcome the choice of Jubilee or Oyster. |
