Sub with jubilee bracelet

I know this combo is not everyone cup of tea. But happen that I like the sub with jubilee bracelet look a lots. I saw the other thread that one of our member installed the jubilee on the explorer polar. That thread actually inspired me to take the jubilee bracelet from my Gmt and install on this sub.

I like the look. Please share yours sub with jubilee if you have any.





Cheers and have good weekend!

I owned this piece for many years and did not wear it and always sit in he safe.

And for these vintage expert, please enlighten me if you could share what mark dial of my 16800. If I remember, it was from early 80s. I still keep the Purchase receipt and paper with me.

Thanks in advance. Let's see your 16800. :)

I put a tudor 6248-20 on tudor sub from the 90s. It's very comfortable

Looks great

I used to wear my 1680 on jubilee quite frequently, great combo.

Yes yes yes, fitting a Jubilee defies originality but it sure as hell looks a lot cooler.

Beside the look, moreover the jubilee is comfortable to wear

The jubilee is thinner and definitely feel better on wrist.

No doubt the jubilee works very well on vintage sub.

I prefer mine on the jubilee. I think it's more comfortable.

LOOKS AWESOME ON THE SUB

Much more friendly over here on the V forum! I posted a pic of my 16570 with jubilee on the general forum and received mixed reviews(can't put a JUB on a tool blah bla bla). I personally think the jubilee looks awesome on any 4 or 5 digit Rolex.

I think you misunderstood my post.I like the look and am just saying that a 1675 was also a "Tool Watch" and came on a Jubilee.

Was not a fan of the jubilee bracelet, but one was included in my recent 16700 purchase. I need to get mine sized, but wore it for a few days before going to a NATO. I actually like the way it wears better than the Oyster. Once I get it sized, I'll be trying it again.
