Jubilee vs Oyster Bracelet, and Datejust 36 vs 41

The Jubilee bracelet has five rows of small links and looks dressier and more fluid. The Oyster has three rows of wide, flat links and looks sportier and more solid. For the Datejust, 36mm is the classic size and 41mm wears bigger and bolder; the right one depends on your wrist and taste.

How do I decide?

Try both on if you can. A watch should sit within your wrist without the lugs hanging over the edges. Measure your wrist with a string or soft tape and tell us the number.
