36mm gold watch with adjustable bracelet

I want a solid gold 36 mm Rolex with a bracelet that can be extended, even slightly, in the summer.

What options do I have?

I don’t see anything in their current catalog.

Rolex presidential is the way to go. You can buy extra links for it :)

I’d totally be open to a different brand as well, would just need to have 100m wr at least.

I agree, however I definitely need flexibility in the bracelet.

Vintage Day Date 1803 or maybe an early 18038 with an adjustable oyster rivet or adjustable jubilee or adjustable president bracelet clasp.

I know the usual President bracelet clasp has no micro adjust, but there must be a work around, for this problem.

There’s no micro adjustment but in anticipation of the hot summer months, a 1.25 grand link can be swapped in. The link can be purchased from an AD.

Get a 1803, 18038, or 18238 with the 7286 President bracelet it has micro adjustments in clasp. It was available on all 3 of those models but very rare for the 18238. More common on 1803 and then 18038.

Thank you for the advice,however sounds like a fool’s errand.

Perhaps someday this type of configuration will be.
