have a jubilee on my no date sub and LOVE it for daily wear. much more airy and breathable than my oyster bracelets. jubilees catch the light and pops without blinding you. my oysters tend to shine a lot brighter than the jubilees when the light hits them right and can be semi blinding.
Very interesting comparison! The Alpha Daytona is a 39mm watch, as I recall. What jubilee bracelet are you using for it? And, not being too familiar with bracelet sizing, how fussy does it get sizing bracelets to different watch head diameters. Could the jubilee on your Alpha be used on, say, your 40mm Parnis GMT, for example?
Thanks for the comment, Henry. I use a generic jubilee for the Alpha Daytona, you can find them almost anywhere after a bit of searching. The Alpha is 39mm's, you're right, but a 20mm bracelet fits it perfectly without hassle, and yes, the same 20mm jubilee can be used on a 40mm GMT without a problem. It's only when you start dealing with lug widths of 21 and 23 that you have to start fiddling with them to fit the case, like using a dremel tool to change the radius of the end link. I hope this helps! Best wishes
@@ID-Guy I just ordered my own Alpha Daytona since it was on sale but I would very much like to do what you did: change from an oyster to a jubilee bracelet. After looking at your very good video I am sold. The Alpha Daytona looks amazing and I'm not about to wait 5 years at an AD and spend 10,000$ for a Rolex. I've already been on the waiting list for a submariner and a GMT for almost 2 years now. Any chance you could help me out getting a jubilee bracelet that would fit? Preferably the one you have (it looks great on the Alpha Daytona). I'm located in Norway, Oslo btw just so you know for shipping.
IDGuy, I like the way you think. I have watched several of your videos and I must say they are very informative in regard to well built time pieces that are great value for the money. I researched and purchased the Didun Royal One w/ blue face in stainless steel after viewing your videos on that piece and I love the watch. Thanks for bringing such great content to RUclips. More to the subject of this video, I have several Oyster style bracelets. I enjoy them but I've been looking at SUPER ENGINEER BRACELETs as a possible alternative. Have you had any experience with this style of bracelet? Keep up the great work!
The Datejust was the original Rolex design. Before there was even a Submariner, the Datejust was the of Rolex sport watch, and guess what it came with jubilee bracelet
@@msbrownbeast I'm saying that the Datejust used to be a sports watch, and now people think it's a dress watch. Similarly the classic Omega Seamaster was a sports watch but now people would think it's a dress watch cause it's not a traditional modern diver's watch
Perhaps compare two actual/genuine Rolex bracelets. Owning both the mew Jubilee bracelet and oyster, both are equally strong and the jubilee feels rock solid unlike the nonRolex you are comparing. I guarantee the new solid link Jubilee is as strong as my DSSD oyster bracelet as the center threaded pins are the same so they have to be. The oyster is just more casual looking. More machining and work goes into the modern jubilee so it will cost more $$$.
Shameer Khan The Jubilee looked too girly , just my opinion , if we all like the same thing there would be a lot of unmarried women in the world , The Oyster seemed to suit my taste better .
I prefer the jubilee obviously cause I have smaller wrist, so not only it looks more delicate on your wrist, but it also adapts better to your wrist shape, no uncomfortable hotspots. I had the chance to try a oyster bracelet cause my dad has a Rolex diver with oyster bracelet, the jubilee is much more comfortable imo I actually don't care for Rolex personally, but I was gifted a Datejust by a person I love so I wear it daily due to sentimental value, mine is the 39mm. Before I was gifted this watch my daily wearer was the Omega Seamaster cosmic 2000 with blue dial, which is still one of my favorite watches. The Datejust is the only Rolex I like, and it pairs perfectly with a jubilee bracelet, specially for women
Hulk looks good on oyster, Bat man also looks good on oyster. A Pepsi looks good on vintage jubilees, datejust also looks good on jubilee. Speedmaster looks good on army green nylons nato strap
Jubilee for me , although I also like the president and beads of rice too on a sports watch. Having said all that I'm really liking my natos now . For comfort leather or nato , rubber etc are better for everyday wear.
Thing is, you did not have to be "lucky enough" back in the day to get one lol. Rolex "paul newman" Daytonas were cheap and nobody wanted them before. And because nobody wanted them, very few are out there, and in good condition. And now they cost a fortune XD
@argilaga I really appreciate your comment, man. ID is all about diversity (that's the bonus of the field) I've worked from concept sketching to producing anything from furniture and transportation to satellites. It's a fascinating area to work in and the bonus is that the possibilities are endless.
@A Random Guy The Royal Oak is still performing flawlessly! All of my pieces are still fully functioning and are keeping good time (I'll make another video about it soon)
I kinda feel like the Submariner= oyster the GMT= jubilee the explorer and daytona can go either way…and to me the datejust is itself kind of a grampa watch
Comparing two Rolex style bracelets on two watches, of which neither are Rolex. Great logic there. Why didn’t you just compare two Rolex replicas? They both have the same credibility, i.e. zero. 🤦🏻♂️
Homages yes. Knockoffs no. While the alpha is more cheaply built, it still has an awesome NH35 movement from seiko in it. The Ginault is a fantastic Swiss made watch that is a certified diver like the Rolex Sub. I should know I own a Sub 16610 and the the Ginault ocean rover. I also have a alpha explorer that I love too. Saying it’s a knockoff is like saying PRS and Suhr guitars are knockoffs of Fender because they all use the strat design and Fender came up with it when it’s been proven those two other brands beat Fender by a long shot or that the Bulova super Seville is a knockoff of a Rolex datejust when also the Bulova is a well built Swiss watch that’s built like a tank like it’s Rolex cousin, you pay for the name at that point. It’s all subjective. I feel more comfortable wearing my Steinhart and Ginault homages than my Sub.
id disagree. anytime i see a jubilee on a young person wrist, it makes me happy that someone from the younger generation appreciates some class on their wrist. very throwback and retro to see and i hope they make a come back.
Very nice comparison! I prefer the jubilee too for the same reasons that you. But i haven´t got any watch with it, and i do have three with the oyster! Is kinda generic and boring to me!
It's not a matter of opinion, the jubilee is a much superior bracelet than the oyster, it's much more comfortable, adpats on the wrist better, and the oyster bracelet is just bland
couldnt agree more. the jubilee is also sexier and classier on a womans wrist than the oyster. jubilee is a winner unless you are doing constant physical activity with the watch.
Watching this in 2020, it's remarkable how much your presentation and overall production values have improved! Keep up the great work.
jubilee screams Rolex from a distance like ciklop date.
Love the look of the Jubilee bracelet 👍 over the Oyster.
The Jubilee feels like silk, is classy, and always catches the eye. I love the Jubilee bracelet.
Jubilee looks better and wears more comfortably.
It's a little too comfortable, almost feminine.

Can you post a photo?
good explanation, where do get the jubilee bracelets from as a matter of interest.
For someone that was tripping on his words you sure know how to hide it because you definitely have a way with them. Great vid. Thank you!
Hello... will the Jubille clasp fit on the Oyster bracelet please?
I think the Jubilee has a more delicate look. Better for the smaller wrist.
I see a lot of women rocking oysters, but i think jubilees look better on a womens wrist. much classier.

Great review I have most my watches in oyster but I will try the jubilee in my next orders just to compare. Thanks
Oyster all the way for me. Jubilee is a fine bracelet on a dress watch, but not on a sport watch.
The Datejust was the original Rolex design. Before there was even a Submariner, the Datejust was the of Rolex sport watch, and guess what it came with jubilee bracelet
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess
Just because it was the only fish in the pond at the moment, it doesn't mean that it would rule the pond forever.
@@msbrownbeast I'm saying that the Datejust used to be a sports watch, and now people think it's a dress watch. Similarly the classic Omega Seamaster was a sports watch but now people would think it's a dress watch cause it's not a traditional modern diver's watch
Jubilee bracelets have an issue of stretching over time. Oyster will hold up better I think.
Provid proof please
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess it’s true
Not the new ones
only the old ones

Anyone know how much more you
Pay for a jubilee?
200 euros
Hi Guys, one question- can I replace the bracelet of my 34mm oyster perpetual with original jubilee bracelet ?
I have just purchased a Datejust and had the choice , but preferred the Oyster steel over the Jubilee .
What made you choose the oyster?
Shameer Khan The Jubilee looked too girly , just my opinion , if we all like the same thing there would be a lot of unmarried women in the world , The Oyster seemed to suit my taste better .
Richard Davies lol. Most people like the jubilee but the oyster suits me better as well.
Shameer Khan Guest it is just down to personal taste
I prefer the jubilee obviously cause I have smaller wrist, so not only it looks more delicate on your wrist, but it also adapts better to your wrist shape, no uncomfortable hotspots. I had the chance to try a oyster bracelet cause my dad has a Rolex diver with oyster bracelet, the jubilee is much more comfortable imo

The Datejust is the only Rolex I like, and it pairs perfectly with a jubilee bracelet, specially for women
I miss this intro!
Hulk looks good on oyster, Bat man also looks good on oyster. A Pepsi looks good on vintage jubilees, datejust also looks good on jubilee.
Speedmaster looks good on army green nylons nato strap
hey man the first clip on your intro is so loud, haha my neighbors almost woke up as im watching this late at night
Which is a better fitting and wearing bracelet, given proper adjustment?
Jubilee
Jubilee for me , although I also like the president and beads of rice too on a sports watch. Having said all that I'm really liking my natos now .
For comfort leather or nato , rubber etc are better for everyday wear.

Zenith chronograph destroys the Rolex daytona in every way. Daytona is the worst Rolex
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess 10 Year service interval vs 5. Nuff said.
Nothing beats the feel of a Rolex SEL Jubilee band...
I want to put the strap from my hulk onto my day date is it compatible
both should be 20mm, so yeah
I go for jubilee
I prefer the jubilee as well
Like the Jubileebut the Oyster bracelet looks better on steel work models.
Very well stated young man! Coming from the “Home shopping Network” industry in my younger days, you have a talent of description.
The oyster bracelets end-links dont fit well on the sub...
You publish very interesting content in your channel. What do you do as a industrial designer?

@@ID-Guy That sounds great! Looking forward to that video :)
You never say why the name are “oyster” and “jubilee “.
I like to label the Jubilee Vs Oyster as The Master vs The Slave
The Upper Class vs The Blue Collar
❤great video
These bracelets rattle crap
I kinda feel like the Submariner= oyster the GMT= jubilee the explorer and daytona can go either way…and to me the datejust is itself kind of a grampa watch
Nice video man.
I like a jubilee on a dive watch but that’s just me.
For a man Oyster all the way. For a woman I like both.
Very informative!
Nice analysis
RIP E DUBBLE.
Jubilee every time. Jubilee looks more dressy than the oyster.

The jubilee bracelet looks stupid on a young person, EXCEPTION: ...if you have VERY hairy chest and arms
id disagree. anytime i see a jubilee on a young person wrist, it makes me happy that someone from the younger generation appreciates some class on their wrist. very throwback and retro to see and i hope they make a come back.
I’m young and I rock a jubilee style watch. I do get compliments. Even with my baby face.
@@kriskat3438its kinda gay to call yourself baby faced
@@AY-qy4jn not really because I'm a straight man with hairy chest and arms but i have baby butt
@@kevin_dallas6969 your straight like spaghetti

yea, its a matter of opinion. IMO, the Oyster is a better bracelet, and I own both
“Oyster is bland”. Some of us dont feel the need of a disco brick strap on our wrists. Less is more
