I love the sport watches have a couple subs among some others but am looking for "something else", crazy. Just trolling on ebay and came across this president, I am no expert on these references but looks a little different to me. Any thoughts would be appreciated..... By the way the no bracelet thing is ok with me on a gold watch.

I want to say that it is looks correct, but I'm not sure. I've seen the dial before but never on a WG day-date. Maybe someone else could tell you more.

open red 6s & flat top '3' & other #s, looks like the real deal to me

tomchicago · 2 September 2011, 12:38 PM

very nice. technically a day-date head not president. the white gold has held up extremely well.

BarkMaster · 2 September 2011, 12:39 PM

Interesting. I've never noticed a dial like that. I really like the numerals, and especially the red accented ones on the white dial. Nice!

that president gets my vote

dddrees · 2 September 2011, 01:25 PM

It's different for sure.

Clean white dial with little bits of Red.

I think it probably goes best on a strap anyway.

Nice.

Nalk7 · 2 September 2011, 02:26 PM

Really like it!

Watchdog · 2 September 2011, 02:29 PM

Interesting.

BNA/LION · 2 September 2011, 02:41 PM

Nice. I prefer 18k yellow myself but good looking dial!

The word reference, "President", really pertains to the bracelet found with the DAY- DATE reference.

The watch itself is the model reference, "DAY - DATE" (as seen on its dial face) and was coined, "the President," when US President, Lyndon Johnson, wore it as his timepiece...

Now, there'sa DAY-DATE for sale on the sales corner right now, I think its a white gold one too, but it has an "Oyster bracelet", its not referred to as "the President" ...

Here it is...

thanks for the explanation guys

Cru Jones · 2 September 2011, 07:01 PM

just don't understand how someone can try to sell a used product for at least $6K and not even get the name right (day-date, not president).

crowncollection · 2 September 2011, 08:47 PM

Nice watch look all original to me and seller is trusted here in Australia

BeekerMuppet · 2 September 2011, 09:26 PM

Lovely watch, distant family of my Air King it seems

Well, many on this forum don't get it right either.

Looks very nice!

ddnyc77 · 3 September 2011, 04:37 AM

thanks guys. I really know very little about day-dates and presidents. However I have been thinking about getting something more formal and this one really caught my eye. Not sure about the acrylic plus it seems expensive compared to every other of the same reference without a bracelet.

Shieldsy · 3 September 2011, 07:35 AM

It's a bit expensive for the head only - should come with a solid gold bracelet for that price (aftermarket at least. The 1803 is also the older model and a little smaller in diameter. I would shop around and you will find better deals.
