Imo nothing beats the Oyster, especially when it has glidelock, but it’s always good to have options. I’m not a fan of natos but I really like rubber straps.

I put a blue gator on my old 1601 DJ and Love it! The original Jubilee, however, is close by! Thank you everyone for your opinions! Cheers for the holidays to all!

I love Custom Anything. Custom Cars,Custom Cabinets,Custom Jewlery etc. Rolex is doing their Loyal Customers a disservice by not allowing the Customer to pick the extras on the watch like,Bracelet and Bezel colors. These items are nearly impossible to purchase new. Then, they keep the old Part you have already paid for !

To all those who think that a bracelet should not be changed, is the jubilee on a new gmt2 or oysterflex on a Daytona seen as abominations? The originals didn't have those bands and Rolex just changed them to different ones recently to appeal to more people. Is it okay for the factory to do it but not an individual?
