I really like the full size DJ TT on my wife's wrist. Oyster for me though.

Oyster vs Jubilee

I love both Oyster brushed and jubilee, not so much oyster with PCL's. Jubilee brings a nice look in many watches, even on Daytonas!

Both. Jubilees are really comfortable and is a nice change if you wear Oysters frequently.
I wear vintage mostly so maybe that plays a role in my fondness of the jub, especially the old folded jubilees with big crown clasp from the 60's. Super light and comfortable.
I had a modern 116233 and liked the jubilee on that as well.

I have never fancied a jubilee or PCL's, so Oyster Brushed for me please every time.

For me, the Jubilee with hidden clasp is the most comfortable and best looking bracelet ever.

Both are beautiful to me.

Oyster is modern and sporty.

Jubilee is comfortable and classic, and more like a jewelry, best on non-sport (for my taste.)

I was test driving the used two-tone datejust that I bought for my brother in law a few months ago (before passing it to him, to confirm all was working well with the watch), and I couldn't believe how comfortable the jubilee band was on it. With the two tone black dial datejust, and his skin tone, the look of the watch on him was 100x better than it looked on my hand.

I ended up getting oyster and I really love the fact that it can be dressy but casual at the same time. And I'm starting to really like the PCL's over the brushed links for the DJ.

Jubilee is classic especially on a DJ but I love how the oyster makes my DJ look more "modern". However, choice is ultimately up to you.

Poll question is too narrow. Oyster on everything except the dj which must be jubilee and fluted.

On most models where a Jubilee is offered I prefer it. I wish they would offer it on modern GMTs.

Oyster vs Jubilee

In my opinion the oyster with PCL's is the best Rolex bracelet (after the president).



That said, my Breitling Crosswind has a better bracelet, the Breitling pilot bracelet, it is outstanding. The Tag Heuer Link bracelet is also excellent.

In my experience the Jubilee is more comfortable than the Oyster. I do like the Oyster bracelet better though.

i love the Jubilee on my TT DJ.... it suits the watch perfectly and is the most comfortable of all my watches.

I have seen them on older GMT's and they look great on them as well but on other models not so much.
Its what belongs on it..... its like putting a set of 1970's dragway rims on a brandnew mercedes ...yes they work and are functional but it just doesnt look right
thats my 2 cents

Depends entirely, imo, on the watch...

Sub or other sport models - oyster (brushed)
DJ - jubilee

I can't vote because it depends on the watch. Both straps are beautiful but on the GMT and DJ I prefer the Jubilee. Oyster for everything else.

I'm considering the Jubilee and polished Oyster for a DJ36. I like the looks of the Jubilee a bit better, but I love the micro adjustments and easy-link on the Oyster. The Oyster wins for me.

I generally prefer the Oyster but on certain models it has to be Jubilee. If I was buying an old root beer for example it would be wrong to have it on an Oyster imo! That said I am not a fan of the BLNR on a jubilee.

Your poll is flawed so I couldn't vote.

I like all 3.

Sub - Oyster brushed
DJ - Jubilee
Daytona - Oyster PCL
