I also prefer to keep it in its virgin state, just like the watch itself, for value purposes.

I love the Jubilee band. If it is well-maintained, the blink blink makes it pop! Enjoy this great watch!

I like a Jubillee with a bit of stretch too.

They are a lot more comfortable as you say.

I made the mistake of sending one away to be refurbed a few years ago, and it came back stiff as a board, uncomfortable, too tight (as equiv of 2 folded links less) and the links butted up to each other too closely and it was way too shiny for rest of watch!

Nothing wrong with a stretched Jubillee, just check the pins on the links (especially close to the E/Ls) are not badly twisted/exposed/cut through.

Great advice! As always, learn something new again, esp from real life experience. Greatly appreciate it.

The more I learn about my own personal watch preferences, the more convinced I get that a matte dial 16750 is the (closest thing that exists to my) perfect watch.

I prefer a matte 16750 on oyster, personally. 1675s are fantastic as well Ofc! But I do like the look of gold hour surrounds with a matte dial and plexi crystal.
