Any chance for a wrist shot?

And maybe another pic with non-amazing-pro-photography style that makes everything look great, just to be sure....? ;-)

I have to say when I was imagining it I was immediately skeptical, but after seeing some pictures... wow!! Looks great and makes an already unique rolex that much more special!

Not really for me. The small links compared to the large lugs just look disproportion to me.

apologies sir! I removed the bracelet almost immediately after taking the photos lol. It's not my favorite look actually, but more importantly as I mentioned in a previous post, the fit isn't perfectly snug, which just doesn't work for me.

I'll circle back and get it back on the wrist later tonight or tomorrow.

No worries, don't bother....just a couple of "just in case" requests in case it was convenient for you.

leather on 5 digit looks fantastic. I was never too crazy about leather on 6 digit as the super modern case just clashes with leather to my eye. Your 16610 on leather looks fantastic though!

Thank you and I agree, I didn't like it much on my (now gone) 6 digit subC but am pretty happy with it on the 5 digit. I wear the Oyster as default but its good to have options

The jubilee brassellet looks amazing on the Hulk. I now have to look for one for mine. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I like the leather band more than the rubber ones. Jubilee looks cool, but yeah not enough for the change, plus the clasp isn't glidelock. cool thread to see some different looks thou.

I was skeptical at the thought, but the pictures made me reconsider... It does look nice!

Jubilee such a nice band, goes pretty well with most watches. My OP refuses to let it go!

Looks pretty good in the pictures but for me, Sub just looks best on oyster. 5 digit GMT on jubilee is awesome. Maybe because the 5 digit GMTs look so good or because it's an OEM option, I kinda like the 6 digit GMTs on jubilee too even though they are not OEM.

I tend to agree. As someone mentioned earlier, the six digit "super case" lends it self well to the wider oyster links. Whereas the 5 digit slimmer lugs look great with the increased number of thinner links of the jubilee.

Not possible as it has 22mm lugs. There’s no 22mm jubilee.
