Jubilee looks better...until you turn it over and see the Oyster-style buckle that doesn't match the Jubilee look at all, especially if it's TT. Worst ever styling decision by Rolex, IMO.

airchitect · 7 May 2020, 11:09 PM

If I were 23 again, I’d be smooth bezel and oyster all day.

nigelUK · 7 May 2020, 11:20 PM

The fluted is too ‘out there’ on a DJ41 (for me). On a 36 ... that’s another matter.

I see no reason why you can’t have any combination... I mean you have jubilee on proper sports watches ffs !

The oyster PCL bracelet is a joy to behold. Sporty ish &

just enough bling. But I also really like the jubilee/smooth combo & would like to pick up a jub some time ..

Fluted on the oyster bracelet is my favorite combination. I feel like it gives the DJ41 a dressed up “sport” look with the oyster bracelet vs. the jubilee.

I will always pick Jubilee, it's such a nice watch.

cdmorenot · 8 May 2020, 12:00 AM

Depends. Where I live jubilee isn’t an option. It screams Rolex. So for me, Oyster. For looks, jubilee

I don't hink there is a better look than a jubilee with a fluted bezel when it comes to datejusts. To each their own but whenever I see one that isn't that configuration I wonder why they didn't get a milgauss or explorer.

mmmmp · 9 May 2020, 01:55 AM

Jubilee all the way. Both bracelets will get scratched with daily wear, it's a fact of life, but the Jubilee *conceals* the scratches more effectively.

Personally, I never worry about stuff like that but it's something to think about I guess. Good luck either way.

All jubilees look like they were born with natural stretch/large gap between links right from the factory and that would trigger my OCD. The links on the oyster look much tighter together/closer spaced and appear to be built to a higher tolerance.

Plant · 9 May 2020, 05:21 AM

I like the smooth + oyster combo best. Im also in my 20s so maybe this is a "younger guy" preference as many people have mentioned?

subprimero · 9 May 2020, 07:03 AM

With a fluted bezel I think the Jubilee is a better match.

There is much more than what meets the eye :) I already got an Explorer and Air King 16900, in fact it is a Milgauss case). Jubilee and flutted bezel is way too much bling for me. It is all a matter of personal preference and what else is there in one's collection. Besides I've chosen a smooth bezel datejust 41 on jubilee and with that gorgeous blue dial as I already have a vintage two tone Tudor Date Day (7019/4) with flutted bezel and wanted a modern and elegant watch with the right amount of bling.

Mikichi · 9 May 2020, 08:48 AM

I always prefer Oyster.

BiG JeEzY · 9 May 2020, 09:08 AM

Once you see the way the light hits a Jubilee bracelet in person, its hard not to pick it. Especially at an AD where they have very bright lighting.

Sam Nelson · 22 May 2020, 10:53 AM

I got the Oyster and LOVE IT!!

Super jubilee or Oyster, no other choice for me.

At 23 I woudl say the oyster as you can dress it up or dress it down. and it's more youthful. Jubuliee imo is less youthful.

BentleyReese · 16 September 2020, 02:40 PM

oyster band with fluted bezel would by my vote.

JSCP · 16 September 2020, 03:07 PM

So Pepsi with jubilee bracelet does not look youthful? I am confused .

Oyster looks better. No comparison. Jubilee won't show scratches however....that I do agree with. Amazing how it camouflages that. I like the fluted bezel /Oyster combination and it reminds me of the Sky Dweller. That's what I would get. Looks younger with the Oyster bracelet....sportier and more versatile. Jubilee is more of a dress watch....much more 80s Wall Street look. Dated IMO.
