Daily wear - SS Jubilee or Oyster Bracelet?
I currently have a TT Oyster bracelet post 2006 and it's a scratch magnet.
For those of you who've had experience with both Jubilee and Oyster bands: 1. Which will show more scratches? 2. Which is more durable? 3. Are the clasps on both equally secure for a daily wear? I fear that the oyster will look horrible once the scratches start appearing. I have a 40 year old jubilee which barely shows any scratches but definitely doesn't feel as durable as my oyster band. Thoughts? Which would you recommend for a daily wear watch? Cheers

Super jubilee is bullet proof. New sel Brushed oyster is equally solid wear wise.

A brushed Oyster gets my vote - the Scotchbrite trick works very well!

I would just go with the one you like and not give any thought to which one will be more durable.

Jubilee. Doesn't show scratches like an oyster with PCLs. That said, be sure to keep the jubilee clean with frequent cleaning and you should be good to go!
