vintage presi trade advice

guy wants my late 90's polar exp 2 (head only) and early 90's 16263 thunderbird (slight wear) for his 1803 (1971) aftermarket band OG clasp. i've been wanting a president for ages, but not sure if one this old will satisfy my need. any/all advice welcome! thanks in advance.

If the bracelet is aftermarket then you wouldn't be getting a real President out of the trade because the head is a Day-Date. If you are parting with two Rolexes, go authentic.

Not a bad trade IMHO. You just have to be OK with the Aftermarket bracelet.

The day date looks sharp.
If the aftermarket bracelet is gold and well made, solid links instead of hollow, than it might even wear more niece than the original.
Though I would prefer an original.
