Discussion Watchlovers: What do you prefer jubilee or oyster bracelet?

[Indus]

Lets hear it..

Left is Jubilee.. Right is Oyster

Which do you prefer

 

[BoomerD]

What does it matter which WE prefer? If YOU are buying it…and YOU are going to wear it…which one do YOU prefer? ( they’re both pretty similar)

 

[sdifox]

They are the same timepiece

 

[lxskllr]

No strong preference, but oyster has fewer moving parts, so it's probably more durable. The other one probably hugs the contours of your wrist more closely.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Which one pinches and pulls the arm hairs and hurts less? Get the one that is less uncomfortable probably.

I always went with Oyster but I'm debating a Jubilee.

But I've never had an Oyster bracelet break.. my dad had a Jubilee come loose and it had to be put together again.. but maybe it was a one off.

That's why I thought I should get some reviews.

And no I'm not buying Rolex!

Same thoughts. 20 years on Oyster bracelets.. Orient, Seiko, Steeldive, Addiesdive.

Was looking at an SKX homage!

IMO oyster. Jubilee just looks too "busy" for me. But I haven't worn a "dumb" watch in years. I only wear my Apple Watch now.

I have that watch on a Jubilee bracelet. I absolutely love it. I had a Submariner on oyster bracelet and it is very comfortable and the jubilee is just as comfortable but I think the jubilee bracelet looks better, especially on the GMT-II.

This watch has been my daily wear for the past 3 years. I wear it everywhere, in the shower, the pool, the ocean, I even wear it to bed sometimes.

Why not buy Rolex? They hold their value well.

We call that a phone!

Yea, that's the kind i use.
When I did wear watches, leather bands were generally pretty comfortable and didnt pinch/pull hairs as much as the metal ones.

The Apple watch combines the benefits of a Rolex and an ankle monitor in one convenient package.

I have enough devices that I seem to be constantly charging. I don’t want another one. I like that my watch never needs batteries and I like being able to glance at my wrist to see the time and date.

Missing poll option!

Damn! I was assuming that OP was buying me a present!

 

[brianmanahan]

the simpler the look of the band, the better imho

my favorites are ones that look like this:

 

[IronWing]

They are the same timepiece

Then why is one $30 and the other $25?

time travel experiment

The one with oyster bracelet is $10,700. The one with jubilee bracelet is $10,900.

so, neither and the only good answer is Nato strap.

I have had both. Neither one pinches at all.

With solid, matte black band of the same design.

That's one of the old Casio DB (databank) models. Reliable and accurate.

Now post a video of yourself wearing sunglasses and whispering, "I'm in" into your watch!
