The president bracelet is unique only for the Day-Date and 99% of every Day-Date I see in the wild has a president bracelet. But every once in a while I see someone who have chosen the oyster bracelet.

To those who chose the Oyster bracelet, I am just curious to why?

Easy choice...Prez

Fat_ninja · 12 August 2018, 05:49 AM

Prez... its all baout the distinctive bracelet

Hard_Six · 12 August 2018, 05:51 AM

President. All day. Every day.

HL65 · 12 August 2018, 05:55 AM

There can be only one…President of course!

Gerardus · 12 August 2018, 06:03 AM

Good question but no doubt the president.

If you get a 2nd or 3rd (and the colour stays the same) I would switch it up to oyster.

I did not think about that, but that is a good reason to choose Oyster. I would do the same.

Gambonista · 12 August 2018, 07:33 AM

My wife chose the oyster—she feels it is more feminine.

The oyster has a hidden clasp and sizing can be tricky.

A rivet oyster is truly a beautiful thing to behold. :)

Sorry to contradict. No, it is not.

There were President band for other PM Rolex watches, Junior or Lady datejust for instance. And a small batch of YG submariner and YG GMT Master.

I have an old 31 mm Datejust with a president bracelet. Had it for 27 years now.

By the way, I also vote for the president on a Day Date.

I am an outlier - my first DD had the Presidential bracelet. But after that I’ve only had DD’s on a strap. I found it more comfy over both Pres. & Oysters.

I've always loved the aggressive look of the President bracelet!

joli160 · 12 August 2018, 06:10 PM

President makes the watch, combination with a 36 watch head is perfectly balanced

roosvelt · 12 August 2018, 07:04 PM

The president great looking, and so comfortable with a little stretch to it .

schro · 12 August 2018, 10:52 PM

mine is oyster... under the radar...

KeithP · 13 August 2018, 12:48 AM

I think the reason to go oyster would be the adjustable clasp, no?

101031-28 · 13 August 2018, 12:49 AM

President.

Starwalker · 13 August 2018, 12:52 AM

Really prefer the oyster on the 36mm
