I tried for several years to like the rep Jubilee on my gen 1675 and kept taking it off. Even after tweaking to make it feel silky it just "felt" odd. Something was off. Recently I was given a genuine Jubilee band by a very generous friend, and put it on the 1675, and all of a sudden it feels right. They look almost identical, but there's "something" about the gen that makes it work. Maybe it's the thickness of the center links? The ratio of their thickness to their width? It's not the fit nor finish, it's something subtle that my eye sees but not my conscious brain. Now it lives on that Jubilee, whereas before I couldn't have the rep on there more than a month.
