YG sport Rolex with YG bracelet or YG sport Rolex with leather bracelet?

ijen0311 · 28 April 2009, 12:20 AM

gold bracelet!

Imtiaz · 28 April 2009, 12:21 AM

YG turns me off. Sorry.

I am very much a SS person.

SS with leather would look really good.

sevykor · 28 April 2009, 12:49 AM

Get the watch with a bracelet and buy a good quality leather strap. Gives you the ability to enjoy both.

Lamone · 28 April 2009, 01:01 AM

YG gets my vote.

train-time · 28 April 2009, 01:02 AM

YG Bracelet all the way.

SLS · 28 April 2009, 01:03 AM

I would get the bracelet as well, though I prefer WG.

I prefer bracelets to straps

Lion · 28 April 2009, 01:56 AM

I would buy the YG bracelet, if you are going to do it you might as well go all the way!!!

Gold bracelet for sure!

YG Bracelet. However, YG on bracelet is always available at a great price.

Very helpful.

Both leather straps and metal bracelets have a place in the yellow gold watch world. We argue all the time around here on what's a "sport" watch and what isn't. Your personal opinion and how you plan to wear the watch are very important to making up YOUR OWN mind.

Personally, I find a leather strap tends to dress up a watch, but greatly limit its utility. Let's consider the obvious example, the Daytona. You could wear it in a widely variety of conditions on a bracelet that would quickly trash a strap. So they both look good, just pick how you plan to wear it.

Definately gold! While some models look really sharp on a strap (ie Ex I), save the strap for your Cellini.

abr68 · 28 April 2009, 04:02 AM

Am not a YG guy.....
Prefer the WG ones fitted with a beautiful leather strap

Agree!

Problem is Howard not all bracelet models accept a strap cleanly so it can be an either or question.

A bigger issue with an AP ROO etc, but also one with some Rolex models such as the obvious candidate, the Daytona.

My understanding is that the end links on the solid gold models (116509 or 116519, in this case), are the same...and that it is the end links on the SS Daytona that are different. Is that not so?

Thanks for the info.

hennabav · 28 April 2009, 06:41 AM

Gold bracelet for sure. In my opinion, Rolex should always come with a metal band not leather.

shelley · 28 April 2009, 06:43 AM

Defintiely gold bracelet

You got me. Don't know for sure. Thought they were the same.

Bracelet. Rolex bracelets are great.

The big advantage of a watertight watch is that you can wash it thoroughly and frequently - even if you never go swimming with it. As a result, my watertight watches are always incredibly clean (no buildup of dead skin or other schumtz in there). Put a leather strap on there and that advantage is lost.

Leather straps on dive watches are just plain silly.

K-R · 29 April 2009, 10:39 AM

Thank's everyone. Clearly bracelet is the winner here. Personally, I will go with YG bracelet rather than leather. Just the weight of the watch make me consider leather as an option.

mck22 · 29 April 2009, 10:59 AM

Im not into gold, but id say bracelet!!!

Bisquitlips · 29 April 2009, 11:13 AM

YG bracelet! Nothing like the feel of GOLD!!
