rek001 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi all, after CNY I'm ordering a somewhat "custom" DJ from Joshua: all SS, with blue sunburst dial/romans, and smooth rounded bezel. I'm trying to decide which bracelet would look better: the classic Oyster with polished mid-links for a clean modern look, or the more formal President's bracelet with it's nubby, more textured effect. I think the rounded links would compliment the smooth rounded bezel nicely. Both bracelet designs are beautiful in their own unique way, I'm having a difficult time deciding. I thank you in advance for your sdvice, and have a geat weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Presidential bracelet adds a certain amount of "bling" but might reflect (he he) nicely with the sunburst dial... If in doubt, the "classic" design is classic for a reason- It'll go with anything. The presidential bracelet also scratches easier (IMO)... how much extra would it be to order both? Then you can switch at will. A third option, btw, is the SS Jubilee bracelet- does the picture below match your bezel type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks for your reply, Shundi. Ordering both bracelets - that's a superb idea, thank you! As for the Jubilee bracelet, mmm, sorry, too busy. The bezel you show in the pic is the smooth "chamfered" bezel, as in cut at a 45 degree angle in cross-section. I'd like the smooth rounded bezel, if you cut it cross-section, the edges would look like a section of a circle, if that makes sense.

Shundi Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ahhh I understand now... Yeah if you were to order both and really hated one you could always sell it to a board member at a slight loss.... I'm sure people would like Presidentials for a new look on the GMT IIC!

TeeJay Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Personally, I would say go for the more subdued Oyster bracelet, as that won't draw attention away from the watch head, which the Presidential might well do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm thinking Oyster attached to the watch and the President bracelet extra, as Shundi suggested, I can change the bracelet if I want, why didn't I think of it? Anyway, do I really have to wait until February 10th, after CNY to order this watch? Thanks much for your input, guys, a big help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
