Jubilees - yeh or nay?
Never been a fan of a jubilee bracelet. Always thought they were old fashioned because all the ones I’d seen were on very old watches, until I tried one on a lovely blue dial datejust 41(I think) 6 months ago at my AD. I thought it was quite striking. Two weeks ago I got my Pepsi and wow I love them even more!

Great shot of your new BLRO!
I personally love the jubilee bracelet (I have a DJ with one, no BLRO yet unfortunately!). I think if you're looking for a DJ, its part of an ideal configuration. |

Jubilee bracelet on my DJ41 is more comfortable than the Oyster bracelet on my submariner...just sayin.

I love the jubilee! I have a DJ41 with it and find it looks great and is very comfortable.
I wouldn't mind swapping my BLNR's oyster bracelet for a jubilee. |

This.
Plus IMO looks better in two tone than a similar oyster.

Yes...the newer ones have easy link in the clasp, see attached pic.
What's really interesting is that when this feature came out on the DJ41, there was much protest that Rolex had "ruined" the aesthetics of the hidden clasp with the easy link. Now that it's on the much heralded Pepsi, all seems to be forgiven. Oh well, in any case, I'm a Yay for the new jubilee. Loved it on the DJ, but wasn't sold on it for the Pepsi...but it has steadily grown on me. Now I think it may be the most comfortable watch I own. |
