Quick question but doesn't the Jubilee bracelet having a stretching problem? I heard that the Oyster bracelet is the stronger of the two bracelets.
Thank you


The links will stretch if it does not fit your wrist perfectly. If you wear it loosely, the links will rub against each other. Finger through the strap is a good marker. You can always get them de-stretched by getting the pins replaced.

As someone else said, consider what your wife's style is otherwise. I also think, since you mentioned the Cartier Galbee something (I forgot the name), it sounds like you might think an Oyster bracelet is OK for her. Why? I say this because that Cartier watch has (to me) a somewhat edgy style (and because the bracelet visually matches the Oyster more than the Jubilee).

I hope you're getting lots of useful information from this thread! :D Good luck in your continued search~[/QUOTE]

previous, she only liked silver with matt finish. the longines i bought her, was bright silver and she loves it. previous she only liked flat watches as the longines. since this summer she also likes thicker ones as she got recently a white fossil with 40mm and nearly 10mm thickness. therefore i think, she has no problem with the typical rolex dimensions with 31/10. the bracelet isn't a problem, whether the jubilee or the oyster. the rolex from the posted pic as it's the same like the one from mangowife, would be perfect. its size really looks good on her small wrists, her skin-colour is a bit darker as normal the whole year, in summer it's light brown. the white dial an the ss bracelet would be the best combination. argh, it' hard for a man to make the best decision. :cool:

You can never really go wrong when surprising your wife with something as nice as a Rolex!

My 36mm I got this yr for my birthday and my DH GMT II I surprised him with in 2008 on our wedding day.

I personally love the oyster bracelet with either the domed or fluted bezel. My first choice was fluted but DH said it looked too gawdy against the black dial.
