Day Date question

[ashullscachull]

This may seem like a dumb question but did the DD ever come on Oyster? I don’t think so from my research but I’m asking because my mother in law’s hairdresser is trying to sell me his and says it has an oyster bracelet. I think he’s wrong but it was purchased new by him 30 years ago and barely worn so it could be a chance to get a cherry watch with box and papers at a good price. Other than having it authenticated, what should I be looking for on a DD?

They made it. My sister has the 118205 - rose gold with oyster bracelet and smooth bezel.

A day date just isn’t a day date unless it’s on the president bracelet.

That really looks good. I own a DD40 and this to me looks different enough to pull the trigger!

Why did you have to post it hahahaha

The DD36 has been offered with Oyster and President bracelets as well as leather straps.

Enjoy the hunt!

I just can't agree with you.

I have a DD on leather strap and I am very pleased with the look.

Wow—ok, this is educational. Thanks TRF.

I’m not sure I’m going to like it on Oyster because of the obvious appeal of the president bracelet. I like it on leather, but it just seems wrong on Oyster. From a collectors/value perspective though—is the Oyster more valuable because it’s rarer or less because it is out of line with what most people expect from a Day-Date?

Pretty sure you'll find the oysters sell at a discount to the presidential bracelet.

Some of those DD oyster bracelets are cool with a hidden clasp.

There was a WG blue wave dial oyster on here a long time ago I thought hard about.

The President bracelet is relatively hard to fit. I'd suspect an Oyster with hidden clasp would be near impossible unless you have the right sized wrist.

I second that.
