Saw a President
While having dimsum this morning with my Outlaws, I had the pleasure of seeing an all gold President band Rolex worn by a middle aged gentleman.
I didn't get to see the face. My question is: Are all Presidents considered "Day Dates"? Are there any DateJusts that uses President bands?

I believe the President bracelet came only on Day Dates. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Are all Presidents considered "Day Dates"? No, besides the obvious ladies President with no day there is also a mid-size President with no day.
Are there any DateJusts that uses President bands? Answered above, but also some Day-Dates(Presidents) come with oyster bracelets and others with Jubilee. |

They did make a Day Date with an Oyster Bracelet. Don't know if they still do in Yellow Gold.
I know it has been discontinued in the Rose Gold. |

JJ, that's an awesome DD!
Reportedly, the weight of the DD was increased by a staggering 35 % with the YG "President" Oyster bracelet compared to the old style (pre 2000) President bracelets.
