DDII w/ Oyster Bracelet

Does anyone know when (if) the DDII will be available with an oyster bracelet?
I have never really liked the president style bracelet but I do like the larger size DDII.

Given the new size of the DDII, would it be possible to fit another oyster band on it from a similar size model such as the Daytona or the YMII?

I am one of those people who likes my bezels domed and my bracelet oystered! (if thats a word)


Oh and any gossip or rumors on new face options for the DDII?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the DD (not II) once came on an oyster bracelet too with concealed clasp

Alan,

The 36mm DD is definitely available with the Oyster bracelet.

Maybe when (and if) Rolex release an all-gold DateJust II, the Oyster bracelet could well fit the Day-Date II. Just a thought. I know that initially the DJ IIs are only going to be available with the Oyster bracelet, certainly in TT, but not sure about all-gold.

I want a DD II, and if I have a chance, to get the President Bracelet, I want that!

One could argue about Oyster versus Super Jubilée with the DJ II, but with the DD II I´ll take President anytime!

My wife has one on her Ladyoyster, and it´s a BEAUTY!

Hi Aaron,

Welcome to TRF.

The DD-II is only available on the President bracelet. However, the DD in 36 mm is also available on Oyster with concealed clasp as per the pics below....

Sure does, Neil.......but can you imagine how much better the same watch would look in 41 mm?

Actually, JJ, I can.

I must admit to being a fan of the 36mm with the President bracelet, but the 41mm DD II with the Oyster, in my opinion, would look absolutely FANTASTIC!

I reckon it would be quite a sporty looking watch as well as a stunning dress watch.

Bring on the Oyster DD II.
