I need your inputs please ladies and gents. I’m planning on buying this 31mm DJ. It has the oyster bracelet. I’ve always admired the oyster bracelet on a fluted bezel and TT RG because I feel it balances the striking look of the fluted bezel and makes it less dressy/more casual. But I’m afraid I might regret it since the jubilee bracelet is really head-turning with it. Here’s a picture of the one I’m planning to get.

Other watches that I own is a 26mm TT DJ and 31mm OP yellow (pictured below).

Any input would really help.
Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

I really prefer the oyster for exactly the reasons you mention.

the Rolex jubilee bracelet, in both ss/yg and all yg are what I wore in the 1980s.
I personally dislike the jubilee, especially in ss/g two tone, because of that.
IMO only, the jubilee is in the conservative side of classic, whereas the oyster is the reverse.

but, this is JMO, and I no longer wear Rolex watches. (Occasionally, I will wear a ss GMT coke,
but more often if I choose a watch, it’s a JLC reverso; IWC portugueser; or a Breguet tonneau
good luck with your decision :biggrin:

I like fluted / jubilee together. I think it just fits. Also, if you have never had the PCLs before just know that they will scratch just by breathing on them :amuse:. The jubilee hides scratches so well.

True, why are most videos of unboxing in YT all fluted/jubilee? Coz its a classic combo.
Lol! Those scratches are another concern! I won’t breathe then.
