118239 on oyster band......

Greetings all, just wondering if anyone on the forum has a Day Date with oyster band.


Wrist pics would be nice as well as your thoughts on the band itself.


I am in the market for a white gold 36mm DD and I am trying to decide if I want a oyster band(which would match my Datejust) or the regular band that everyone associates Presidents with.


Thanks in advance.

Scott

I decided to get the oyster bracelet as my option for the RG 118235 while I wanted a more "masculine" look since the watch was in rose/pink gold...I have not regretted it at all, I must say!

It's the most comfortable, sleek and well-built Rolex bracelet I have ever had. The links are perfect synchronized and the bracelet is also very heavy and sturdy (but in a good way)...
The links are a bit thinner then a regular modern PCL bracelet which is just brilliant for the smaller 36mm case.
This oyster bracelet gives the watch more of a Patek Nautilus feel and look.
It's both sporty and elegant!

Here is a pic that showcases the hidden clasp compared to another modern PCL oyster bracelet clasp...

Some more pics;





Here is also a pic of my WG 1803 on president bracelet for reference:

Any watch looks great on an oyster, but the DD imho deserves a President bracelet. It feels more precious when wearing it, can't really explain why
