Personally, I don’t think a Sub should be on anything that doesn’t lend itself to diving.

Kermit on SJ

Tried it when I first got my SJ, I think it looks good (but switched back to the Oyster)

Ok, let me be a little clearer, why can't they update the part between the lugs and the clasp?

The LVc looks stunning on the jubilee. I didn't care for the BLRO on it, but perhaps it's because I'm used to my BLNR on the oyster. If I had a Sub first, maybe I wouldn't care for the LVc on it, but I think it looks great.

Yup. So true.

I showed my 72 year old dad the new BLRO today. He thought the bezel was “ok” but was really digging the Jubilee bracelet. I was wearing my Sub at the time and He said my bracelet was too plain.

Then I showed him the Pepsi comparison pic of the BLRO and 16710. He still pointed to the BLRO only because of the bracelet.

That actually looks incredible.

I never understood the hate for the jubilee bracelet. They’re amazingly comfortable and make a sporty watch look slightly more dressy.

Thanks Eric for mentioning me!

I’d like to contribute a little info to the thread. I never wear my Sub on jubilee. I think it looks pretty good, and most of you know I’m kind of obsessed with “mixing it up”, but I just can’t seem to get a good technical fit with this combo.

The 63600 bracelet works really well with my 116500 and 16710. It doesn’t fill the case height perfectly, but it’s acceptable. The actually fit though is solid with no play or visible gap.

That’s not the case when I mount the jubilee on the Sub. There is some movement as well as some noticeable space between the bracelet end link and the case.

Maybe it’s the wrong spring bars or something, but I can’t comfotably wear the watch like that.

I wonder if any local nursing home residents would be willing to pry with a jubilee bracelet.

Might be untapped market here

BIG fan of jubilee bracelets. Classic and timeless. And they sure as heck don't reveal every single micro scratch like many of the other bands do. At least, that's been my experience.

I don’t know. I’m not into men but Arnold with his legs or chicken legs doesn’t seem very attractive.

These sports model on jubilee on the other hand are as sexy as it gets IMO!

I'm personally a fan of the Jubilee, but on a DJ. I also like them on the 5 digit GMTs.

But Jubilee on a MAXI dial just looks off to me!
