ubiquitous Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Much in the same way a new insert can change the look of a watch, I find that a new bracelet can also help update the look and feel of a piece that is otherwise business as usual. A friend sent over this 62510H (tight links with zero stretch/flex), which I've fitted to my 1016 Explorer. I don't have any Jubilee clad Rolex in my collection, so this really changes things up for an Oyster link kind of guy like me Thoughts?
Justasgood Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 I love the comfort of Jubilee's.......but that watch needs an Oyster or Strap. Just MHO :-)
dluddy Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 I like it and I was of the opinion that this one should only have an Oyster
redwatch Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Love the jubilee as well, but I think that the oyster looks more appropriate on this particular watch. Just my 0.02 However, that jubilee would be awesome on one of your Day-Date's
its_urabus Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Looks amazing! Would look even better on my 1675
AsiadeCuba Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 love the bracelet. this makes me want to build an explorer now
lhooq Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 I started wearing a cheapo Jubilee rep on one of my old 1016 builds, and I think it's great. Very comfortable, and the polished center links go great with the Explorer's shiny bezel. Oyster is still my #1 choice, but a Jub is a refreshing alternative.
TeeJay Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 Can't believe I missed this, but that really is an awesome twist on the classic look
vlydog Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 R, never been found of the Jubilee bracelet but this one looks stunning on your explorer.
ubiquitous Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks, gents You know... I've never been a big fan of Jubilees either, but I've found that it gives the 1016 a different kind of character. I still love Oysters... But this one is growing on me
its_urabus Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Well if you ever get tired of the jubi let me know. It would looks great in my gmt And I just love that dial, its so simple well balanced.
hiker01 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Love that new look.......Jubs always do that!
ubiquitous Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Posted September 1, 2011 Well if you ever get tired of the jubi let me know. It would looks great in my gmt And I just love that dial, its so simple well balanced. I think the Jubilees look great on GMTs as well! Very nice and complimenting look The 1016 is such a simple piece overall; very basic, yet balanced. The Jubilee and the multi-link design adds a little bit of an ostentatious facet to the otherwise simple aesthetic.
lhooq Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 The Jubilee and the multi-link design adds a little bit of an ostentatious facet to the otherwise simple aesthetic. Next step: Tri-gold Bark Explorer!
ubiquitous Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Posted September 1, 2011 Maybe not bark... But perhaps diamond set pave?
Tribal Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 So I'm not a fan of the jubilee bracelet, but must say it looks good. Nice one Randy
TeeJay Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Next step: Tri-gold Bark Explorer! Maybe not bark... But perhaps diamond set pave? Do y'all remember this little creation of mine?
maxman Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Can't believe I missed this, but that really is an awesome twist on the classic look My feelings exactly,very nice.
lhooq Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Maybe not bark... But perhaps diamond set pave? As long as it's done with subtlety and taste. TeeJay: I didn't mean wooden dials, which can be nice. I was referring to "bark finish" whereby Rolex scarifies a case and bracelet until it wouldn't look out of place in Elvis's Jungle Room.
