As great as the Oyster is, would many people pass on the exclusivity of the President?

The Day-Date deserves the President

subtona · 16 January 2019, 04:54 PM

Prefer the the oyster(?) bracelet for the double clasp

HogwldFLTR · 16 January 2019, 05:14 PM

I'd prefer the durability of the Oyster. I guess the new Presidents have the ceramic sleeves and should wear better. I've seen so many really stretched out Presidents, fwiw. I also like the better adjustability of the Oysters.

lord91 · 16 January 2019, 10:26 PM

If i'd get a DD, i would opt for the President bracelet as it is a great looking and kind think of any reason to pass on it.

JayHantz · 16 January 2019, 10:28 PM

Although I am a huge fan of the oyster, I think the DD just needs to be on the president.

oyster makes the day date less special imo

BzKneez · 17 January 2019, 12:06 AM

What separates the day date the most from anything else, is the president bracelet. To me, an oysterband on a daydate is just a datejust with a day function, especially on a WG.

sillo · 17 January 2019, 12:13 AM

A Day-Date needs to on a president bracelet.

watchwatcher · 17 January 2019, 12:15 AM

My thought is no.

There's already the DJ if you want an oyster bracelet.

rebel_1 · 17 January 2019, 12:26 AM

DD needs a President bracelet IMO. They make a 1.25 link if you’re in between sizes.

Tangier11 · 17 January 2019, 12:36 AM

Prez bracelet or nothing IMHO

jeffnnj · 17 January 2019, 12:40 AM

Love the Oyster on the DD but would never get it. One often overlooked fact is that the design of the President bracelet doesn’t really reveal scratches. With its large swathes of polished gold, you can’t say the same about the Oyster.

Don't get the oyster bracelet.

I dont like it...at all

GRabens · 17 January 2019, 11:27 AM

I like the DD on oyster with a smooth bezel only. But if I was getting a DD it would probably be on the iconic presidential bracelet.

subprimero · 17 January 2019, 12:59 PM

President!

paulbrl · 17 January 2019, 03:14 PM

President. Love the President on my wife's 31mm!

joli160 · 17 January 2019, 06:53 PM

The President bracelet makes the watch imho.

peterpl · 17 January 2019, 08:30 PM

IMHO a DD without a president bracelet is sacrilege. Never do it

Brew · 17 January 2019, 08:48 PM

I test drove a president bracelet once. It was a yellow gold DD with champagne dial and diamond markers. My wrist still misses that feeling.

BlackOnyx · 17 January 2019, 10:18 PM

Normally I'd go for the president, specially when it's your first day-date. However, it can look pretty spectaculair:

THC · 17 January 2019, 11:23 PM

Blasphemy

dafuture · 18 January 2019, 12:04 AM

I'd stay with the President personally

Maiden · 18 January 2019, 12:32 AM

Never for me, the president bracelet and Day Date are forever "linked". Pun intended

However some people like the option so if that floats your boat go for it!

Boba Fett · 18 January 2019, 12:46 AM

How understated would a platinum day date with the smooth bezel with a white dial and the oyster option? Very much like a DJ imho, a brave choice but very cool.
I'd go president every time
