Dear Gentlemen,

This is my first post,
and I was hoping you would please indulge me in a question.
I have become interested in a day-date on presidential bracelet,
but I am concerned about the lack of micro-adjustments.
Since my wrist is 6.3 inches, will the bracelet fit or will I be
"in between links"? Is there such a thing as a the half-link?
Is the lack of micro-adjustments on this bracelet a problem?

I wear the daytona on the new-style clasp which is so comfortable I dont know I am wearing it sometimes.
I am a photographer and I have attached some photos of my daytona.
After many years of watch collecting the 116520 has become my favorite.
Thanks in advance & thanks Mark for the emails yesterday on this topic

Some great pics. And a beautiful watch.

Did you use a circular polarizing filter to acheive the 'effect' in the photos?

I have a similar problem in terms of sizing. One link makes the difference between too loose and just a teeny bit too snug.

Love your photos!

Very nice pictures, we see that you're a pro

Regarding President, I think there's no 1 1/4 links included in the standard 24 links dotation of the 83208 (or 83205/6/9) bracelet.
But this optionnal link exists, and probably an AD can add it to your watch when you buy it (see ref 32-22452 on the shema).

You can also order a "standard" 73205/8/9 oyster with your DD when you buy it (except for platinum, no 73206 exists).

Thank you Raulex for the excellent schematic.

I love it.

Dr. Chuck- I have not used a polarizing filter but rather a large setup of lighting generators & studio strobes

Really beautiful pics! Good luck in your quest for the Day-Date.

Welcome to TRF, I'm afraid I can't answer your question but your pictures look amazing! I like the first one (looks like you have a RG Daytona on it, quite a funny effect).
