Initial report on the US president is the SEL & bracelet is really good (and has a vintage vibe to go w/ the watch)...but I'm not a fan of the clasp. It's as expected in that it's pretty flimsy and cheap and w/ no flip lock, obviously not as secure as I would like.

I will probably eventually modify the aftermarket oyster bracelet (that I had on it previously as I like the quality of links and clasp) to accept the new SEL's on the President. These old watches are like old cars...you always have some little project you want done to improve.
