Who owns a Day Date?
I just got a new band for my President and really like the casual feel of leather. Much different than wearing it with a gold bracelet.

Lets see your President.

Justin that is a gorgeous day date, my fav blue dial, try a blue croc strap, I think you will like it even better.

Please post more pics of your current setup, thanks

Hey Justin, that looks excellent!

What a great combo. The strap really compliments the dial on that prez.

Where did you find the strap?

My original 1984 Day Date. I just picked-up a newer rose gold Day Date to go with it. Great watches.

I used to have one on a super thick Jurgen gator strap. I miss it the weight of the gold. Beautiful examples above, with some bling, to boot.

Jacek hooked me up. If you look through the sold watches on his site he has a lot of nice leather straps. I originally saw my blue strap on a white gold president and had to have one.

Very nice bling! I imagine production on some of those was pretty limited. Any idea how rare they are?

Who owns a Day Date?
I have one which has the oyster bracelet and doesn't seem as widely shown.
