Anyone have a Sky-Dweller on a Jubilee?

In another thread this thought just popped into my head while answering a Datejust question. While I usually prefer Oyster, on the Datejust the Jubilee just looks right. Got me thinking what it would look like on a Sky-Dweller.

I assume since the Sky-Dweller is larger than the Datejust, this probably isn't possible, but figured might as well ask.

if anyone has seen this it was either a photoshopped image or a fake bracelet/watch.

I'm a huge fan of jubilee bracelets (i wasn't always). When I first put my super jubilee on my daytona, i received a lot of positive feedback. I did however receive a couple comments saying the jubilee with the sub dials of the daytona made things a little too busy.

I can see that point, but don't agree.

However, I suspect this might be the case with the Sky D. I think a president bracelet would look better, but overall I think they got it right with the Oyster Bracelet.

I'll put together a photoshop image in a little bit! You've piqued my interest.

I don't think Rolex make a 22mm jubilee bracelet, so it would not work on the Sky-Dweller.

Any color will work; stainless for blue and TT for black would be cool.

Id enjoy seeing how that looks. I think it might be a better fit for the SD, considering it’s got that prestige vibe. Would look killer in YG with the silver Roman imo

Weird. I really wished this combo existed when I got mine but now I'm not sure I would have gone that way had it been available. Nice PS job btw. Looking forward to seeing it on a president

Looks good but without a 22 jubilee it’s not happening. Not sure what watch would necessitate one so rolex would have to release a jubilee just for it.

I like the skydweller and I like jubilee and president bracelets a lot - but the combination is a bit too busy for my tastes

Thanks for the PS pics. I was asking about the SD on jubilee a few weeks back and nobody had pics on TRF.

It's a good look, but at 22mm it's wishful dreaming. Would be cool to see it on a presidential.

I think it looks really cool. I would probably still go for an Oyster though.

I think anytime you have fluted, jubilee is going to work. But...I doubt it's happening anytime soon.
