    Jubilee Bracelets on sports models. Rolex haters look away.

    I’ve become a Rolex fanboy.

    There. I accept and admit it, which is one of the first steps to recovery apparently.

    In my collection I’m lucky enough to own a 16710 GMT and a 16613 “Bluesy” alongside others but I do miss the 1601 two tone on Jubilee that I had.

    I’m tempted to put a jubilee on the GMT but Having seen a 16613 on jubilee instead I’m sorely tempted to go down that route instead.......

    I think it’s stunning!

    I think it works on the TT Sub. I've seen pics of a 1680 on a steel Jubilee and it looked off, but it looks great in that pic IMO.

    I think that's a big improvement over the original bracelet. Gives off a real vintage vibe.

    Each to their own, but I'm just not keen on Jubilee bracelets at all.

    They seem quite stretch prone too, or is that not the case?

    On an all steel watch the jubilee + larger case size + bezel with crenelated edge + all the writing on the dial and mercedes hands - just too much going on for me. Very fussy look. Even worse on the new GMTs because they have the large bezel numbers, the GMT hand and then multi coloured bezels. Way too busy which is why they were always a second option to the plainer Oyster bracelet and not seen very often on GMTs and any other sports model.

    As the TT is a more showy watch it somehow fits better there but the Oyster looks much better.

    I have a both a TT Jubilee and a TT Oyster for my Root beer and switch them over every few month.

    The Oyster is more robust, but the Jubilee is slightly more comfortable and more classic.

    Both a great. There are no wrong answers.

    Doesn't have to be a Rolex to look good in my opinion.

    I have one on my Turtle and find it extremely comfortable and easy to wear.
