Bracelet Choice?

Jubilee too damn busy. It just screams, "Look at me! Please notice my watch! Please!"

Personally, I do feel like the Datejust is a bit of a “blingy” watch that is a little more on the dress side. The jubilee has more smaller links which I find adds to the “blingy” look of a Datejust. Maybe it is a bit much though 🤔

Some people wear a watch simply because they love it, not because they’re looking for attention or confirmation from others.

Personally, a datejust has to have a jubilee bracelet and flutted bezel with Roman or diamond hour markers or I’m not interested. A plain smooth bezel on an oyster datejust looks no different than a boring, soulless oyster perpetual.

The Jubilee was designed for the Datejust. Yes it’s “pretty” or more “dressy” than an oyster but it is also arguably a lot more comfortable. Oysters are perfect for tool watches.

Jubilee and Fluted is too much on a simple DJ. I chose oyster. The PCL adds a nice touch without making it too busy.

1041% agree. I intentionally got my blue dial DJ with fluted bezel on an Oyster Bracelet because I wanted to tone the watch down and be more versatile for day to day wear. Plus I never felt the Jubilee feels better on wrist and prefer Oyster bracelets as a rule. Just personal preference - no wrong answer.

The jubilee bracelet looks feminine to me. I prefer a bold look of the oyster bracelet. I am sorry but this is my personal opinion so please don’t take it the wrong way. I understand that there are a lot of guys out there that prefers Jubilee.

Just do what what I did - buy it on oyster and order a separate jubilee bracelet. Problem solved.

The Oyster bracelet (as well as the smooth bezel) certainly tone down the "bling", but I personally feel that the Jubilee and the fluted bezel suit the DJ very well.

I do not disagree that Jubilee is a bit blingy somtimes however you can not deny how comfortable it is especially for smaller wrist gang Lol

It’s got to be the jubilee for me. Really comfortable and looks great with a fluted bezel. For me it suits the datejust and I think the datejust should be a bit more dressy than the other Rolex models. The scratches don’t show either. The middle link of an oyster picks up lots of visible scratches

The jubilee and fluted bezel are hallmark of a DJ, but ultimately, buy what you like.

I completely agree. If it’s used to dress up mostly, the jubilee and fluted bezel makes sense. For a daily wear, I’d much rather have the oyster and smooth bezel.

Imo, the jubilee just fits with the overall design best. That said, the watch is marvelous with either. 👍
