Best modern Rolex bracelet? I don’t know why Rolex replaced it with oyster clasp which takes away the elegance of the jubilee. Am I off base?

2001jesper · 8 August 2020, 11:59 PM

Made the hidden-claps exclusive to the DD - A value proposition in my eyes

bp1000 · 9 August 2020, 12:02 AM

Sometimes put mine on my 16750 gmt - originally from a datejust.

Definitely most comfortable I agree

Dsmith1974 · 9 August 2020, 12:09 AM

Did they replace it? I thought the Super Jubilee (hidden clasp) was available in n some models (PM GMT probably) but not on others (standard DJ).

I love the hidden clasps. Makes the watch.

the only problem with this jubilee is you cannot adjust the size when your wrist swells. Harder to fit just right without an adjustment but a beautiful bracelet it is.

le_baron · 9 August 2020, 12:14 AM

I agree that the hidden clasp looks much better.

georgekart · 9 August 2020, 12:17 AM

Hidden clasp looks good, but Easylink is amazing.

1William · 9 August 2020, 12:19 AM

I prefer the new clasp. Fit is more important than appearance.

joli160 · 9 August 2020, 12:19 AM

Totally agree

Tools · 9 August 2020, 03:17 AM

Now days people want adjustability and an EZ link. Doesn't work with the hidden clasps.

kwingy · 9 August 2020, 03:46 AM

I use to have a 116710ln with super Jubilee and now a Batgirl and I can tell you hands down the super Jubilee is so much more comfortable then jubilee with clasp. Just something about the links when adjusted provide a more comfortable seamless fit.

~dadam02~ · 9 August 2020, 03:55 AM

How much of my hard earned will Rolex deprive me of in the UK if I want to purchase a super jubilee?

lord91 · 9 August 2020, 04:05 AM

I too wish they have kept it... at least offer it as an option.

Brny11 · 9 August 2020, 04:13 AM

Agree with most. Hidden is much nicer but clasp is more functional. I’d take function all day.

Dr.Smellody · 9 August 2020, 04:24 AM

Super jubilee is the best.

synrrgy · 9 August 2020, 04:58 AM

I’ve always loved the look of the hidden clasp both on the super jubilee and the president bracelets. That seamless look is beautiful.

Tangier11 · 9 August 2020, 05:09 AM

I have and love the hidden clasp.

zjd168 · 9 August 2020, 05:16 AM

the hidden clasp was the only reason I brought my dj36 two years ago before the new model.

XBMX · 9 August 2020, 06:16 AM

BITD my first DD had a Jubilee with Oyster Clasp. Had it monogramed, really looked great.

TswaneNguni · 9 August 2020, 07:12 AM

Why they stopped the Super-Jubilee ,I dont know !
Rolex now and then make some weird decisions .

wisguy · 9 August 2020, 08:35 AM

Hidden clasp looks better. but having no adjustments is an issue, and the easylink is a big plus I think.

77T · 9 August 2020, 08:52 AM

Rolex should find a way to allow simple clasp adjustment for the SuperJubilee.

But if it was a small fraction of the bracelets sold then that might have been a reason for skipping an obviously needed enhancement.

The ironic thing about the hidden clasp is that it truly is hidden. For the most part, nobody can see whether you have it or an oyster easylink on your bracelet.

We like it’s elegant lines, but it also comes with no adjustment, and the risk of being unclamped by a tug on the coronet in the wrong situation.

I like the hidden-clasp Jubilee and have no problem with the lack of adjustment.

I just wear it at a length that accommodates all scenarios.

Jpccarguy · 9 August 2020, 10:24 AM

Agree that it's a great clasp, and completes the look on my wife's 31 mm TT DJ. Also agree that the lack of adjustability is a problem for some. YMMV

Rebel · 9 August 2020, 10:43 AM

mcdill · 9 August 2020, 10:47 AM

I love the hidden clasp on my DJ36 (116234).

I have a 6" wrist - the hidden clasp works really well with it. The new clasp may look oversized and be off centre on a super small wrist like mine.

Another pro is that the jubilee links hide scratches really well. I suspect that the oyster clasp of the new jubilee will get scratched easily over time.

The only con was that it took several tries to size correctly. If you are "in between" links then you may need to get the 1.5 (1.75?) link from Rolex in order to get that perfect fit on the super jubilee.

Famz_01 · 9 August 2020, 11:20 AM

Hidden clasp is beautiful. That massive buckle on the jubilee doesn’t look anywhere as good as on the hidden clasp. It actually looks off imo

AirPeasant · 9 August 2020, 11:19 PM

My super jubilees are sized just a touch bigger than my oyster with easy link closed. I find they fit great even in summer with wrist swelling. I think it comes done to the suppleness of the small links.

Hotrod297 · 10 August 2020, 09:58 AM

The hidden clasps more elegant. The newer clasp adds the adjustable link, also balances the watch on the wrist due to increase in width.

Totally agree. The hidden clasp is like a made to measure suit. EZ-link is like turn ups on some off the peg pants.
