SS Sub with President Bracelet

Thinking about order an SS President Bracelet for my sub. Anyone here have a picture they could throw up of said combo? Seen several with the jubilee that look good.

All President bracelets are either gold or platinum and cost around 20k.

Wasnt really asking if anyone liked the idea or if it would fit. I was more asking if anyone had a picture of yhe combo. I've sourced an SS President bracelet fyi. And if anyone says just get a DD, you're late to the party. I wear a 118238 in rotation with my other pieces.

Now I'm really confused. With all due respect, how can you source something, which by all accounts, does not exist?

It's obviously an aftermarket SS president bracelet, so I wouldn't even feel comfortable discussing it.

Everest straps are aftermarket and there are numerous threads here on the forum.

The President bracelet belongs on a Day-Date, and has been said is not made in stainless steel. Only gold and platinum.

Everest straps do not market themselves as Rolex branded products.

If you have a president style bracelet that is aftermarket, that is fine. If you have a president style bracelet in steel that is branded falsely as Rolex, that is a counterfeit.

You intend to put an aftermarket (inferior) bracelet on your sub?

Can you share some pics?

Why not? The Sub is just my daily beater....didnt say i was going to change the bracelet on my Nautlius. I like the look simple as that. Yeah, its a bracelet from Beckertime and clearly marketed not a Rolex Product. Kind of like the late model wheels in my 63 Vette that's been resto modded. Don't recall asking anyone on the forum if they liked it or any of my watches and I certainly didnt ask anyone to pay for them.

Don't some of these rubber straps take a Rolex clasp, I would consider that a counterfeit also.

I see aftermarket bezel inserts on this site, would they be considered "Franken"?

i don't think aftermarket bezels are franken as long as rolex offers them on the models. putting a diamond bezel on a day date after market isn't exactly the same as creating a watch that literally doesn't exist

I think that you're going about it backward.

If you already have a source, and you want to put it on a Sub, do it.. Then you post the pictures to show us how it looks.

If it's an early Sub, and not a Sub Date, SEL style bracelets won't fit.

Why don’t you ask Beckertime for a picture of their bracelet on a Sub? They’ve got the bracelets, and they’ve got Subs... Seems like 10 minutes of effort they’d be willing to do to sell a $100 bracelet.
