If you want a jubilee band, go with a GMT. A GMT with a black dial and bezel looks great with a jubilee band in my opinion. A sub should never have anything but the original oyster or a nato strap. Subs never came with jubilee bands as far as I know. Heck I even perfer oysters on a ss Datejust.

Yeah - no Jubilee on a Sub. It does not work. Only on a GMT...

Possibly an all SS jubilee on an aged vintage Sub. That could work...

I've got the earliest type thin Rolex Jubilee from the early 60s that I've strapped to my 60s 5513. It is terrible, the Jubilee is only made for the thinner profile GMT.

Here's a pic of the Jubillee. You will notice how nice and thin it is. Anyhow, it is the 1st generation Jubilee which remains very hard to come by in this day & age. It is perfectly made for 1675!
