The President is Coming!!!
Hi All,
This is my first post so I'm excited to announce that in a few days I will be officially a Rolex owner!! Coming from a Breitling and Heuer collecting background this is new territory, so I would like to ask few questions from the wise of this forum: When I look at Rolex, I see class, style and elegance. My personal opinion is the Day-Date and Datejust combines all those three perfectly. I have nothing against the tool watches (Subs, Daytona etc..) but would you not agree that a Day-Date or Datejust on bracelet or perhaps croc strap with gold buckle just oozes class? It was a hard decision for me because admittedly all Rolex range of watches are a work of art, but for me this watch sang to me like no other!!! Tell me what you guy's and girl's think, it would be much appreciated.. |

Hi All,
Cheers everyone for your comments!! I noticed no one has commented on the dial colour and strap choice, I know a majority of Rolex enthusiasts would much rather this timepiece on a bracelet, your thoughts people? |

It's great but where's the bracelet? It's a significant part of the 'presentation'. (and a costly one)

I love it. I would wear it. I'm thinking of buying a vintage President with black face and leather band for me. This one is something like what I am looking for only I want a smaller face.

Very nice watch. If you want bracelet there was one in the For sale section. Not sure if it will fit this one though. But the watch looks amazing even on leather strap.

Love it, the strap is very nice. I traded my ExII towards a DD & couldnt be happier. The bracelet is a big part of the deal, but they do wear out, likely why yours is on a strap.
As mentioned above, I did notice one on For Sale section. Might be worth a look if you really want one b/c new they are quite expensive |
