That’s because it was WG. Too expensive. If they released a steel BLRO on the oyster it could well have been more popular than the jubilee.

Both BLNRs look great.

The opposition to the Jubilee bracelet mystifies me, as it is not only a very good looking bracelet, but an extremely comfortable one at that.

The claims that it is feminine makes no sense, insofar as it debuted on the DJ in 1945, a decidedly masculine watch at the time.

I get the impression that most of the opposition comes from the younger set, who've shunned the classic line of watches for the professional series and who've never had the occasion to actually wear one.

The Oyster is a great bracelet in all its iterations, but there is something very special about the Jubilee.
