Hello, I have a 1972 Rolex day date that I have searched High and Low for a replacement presidental band with no luck! I have bought 2 on ebay that I had to return that were advertised 100% authentic and the clasp was but the bracelet was italian. Getting pretty frustrated as I dont want to spend 13k on a new band if not more. Any suggestions including give up would be appreciated. haha.

If it were me, I'd buy a similar era Day Date, take the band off and resell the head. Just make sure that you get an era-correct band because you want to keep the value of your watch!

Not sure if you've already seen Gray & Sons in your travels across the Internet:

Other than that, I'm a huge advocate of shell cordovan leather straps. Get a leather band so awesome and comfortable that you don't feel so bad about that lack of bracelet! Good luck.
