Sensible enough: they certainly have a sustained and wide enough following but avoid the Jubilee bracelet.Originally Posted by davie0146

Haywood,
Thank you! Just when I was starting to doubt my decision.
Not to keen on the jubilee so would be looking for either head only or the plain bracelet.
do you see them quite frequently?
I see 16713s infrequently in either permutation.
I would say that at least three with black trim were sold for every one with brown and gold.

Thanks for that.
Great watch. I am wearing my old 16753 Nipple Dial Rootbeer as we speak.
Well it is christmas

I love my 16753 root beer (on jubilee). You are definitely not losing the plot at far as I’m concerned!

quite like them, a pleasant change to the ones you see all the time.
Hate the look, and hate even more - the rinkydink "root beer" nickname.
Blue/red combination, although more common - is the one.
I see peoplw warning about the jubilee. Can anyone clarification why?
Jubilee = Huggy Bear
Without = under radar.
Huggy was cool C.!
I wear mine on a Oyster.
Jubilees are prone to wear and therefore can get slack, although still perfectly wearable.
As for thinking Huggy Bear - why not think Clint Eastwood, especially as he wore his root beer on a Jubilee.
Or if you prefer it on leather then it's an Elio De Angelis. After the F1 driver https://www.google.co.uk/search?rlz=...GJnNGvb_TSEuM:

The small, gold D-shape links in the middle of the 16713’s Jubilee 62523 bracelet allow for greater movement and are weaker than the solid, single brick link of an Oysterlock 78793.
The head diameter of all professional models like the GMT is such that any lateral movement applied thereto creates enormous forces of torque which transfer most deleteriously to the ends of the bracelet.
Where that bracelet is a Jubilee, metal is more quickly distorted and worn than where it is an Oyster.

Any reliable guides for acquiring one? What should one look fo r / avoid?
Weird looking watch
With Jubilee it’s vomtastic, but on a nice strap I can certainly see the appeal.
It’s the only two tone sport I like. They brown suits the gold.

Well they certainly make a refreshing change.
If I were buying a gmt the root beer would be my choice
I am very much drawn to them! A bit tacky but really nice in the flesh!

I am awaiting for a specific member here to sell his :) and buy it
Personally I'd love one. Think they are stunning. But IMO I'd need to see more sun to wear one!

I quite like them, in a bit of a 70s throw back kind of way. Bit much money for a bit of a tongue in cheek watch
Marcj has a lovely piece for sale
