Presidential?

[mborner]

Correct me if I'm wrong, please. I hear a lot of people use the word *presidential Rolex" when describing a certain model. Am I correct in that the term *Presidential* is incorrect? I always thought it was in reference to a YG DD with a "presidents" band. I never thought Rolex made a Presidential watch, just a Presidents style band. Is the term *Presidential Rolex* incorrect? Thanks.

Strictly speaking, yes, but as the President is a unique band to the Day-Date and the precious metal Lady Datejusts, people know that it's referring to the top of the line models

^^ Okay, thanks. So technically, it's incorrect, but it's generally understood what it means?

Yes

The term President is not really incorrect because Rolex themselves used the word President or Presidential on a small plastic plaque on the inside cover of the older large dark red leather boxes with buckle that housed the day-date watches.
