Hi there, I was hoping to get some advice from you guys who know what to look for when looking at a Rolex. I've come across a Rolex datejust with a president bracelet (2010 model) - do Rolex manufacture them in this way? As far as I can tell, the president was made exclusively for the day date, then in 2000 they made available the day date with a jubilee bracelet. Did they do the same with the datejust and the president bracelet?

Thanks :)

First reaction is, odd. Very odd.

It is highly doubtful if a special order DJ 18ct was supplied on a DD bracelet.

Perhaps someone took an 18ct DJ, removed/sold the gold endpiece, gold buckle and alligator strap, then acquired a genuine modern DD gold bracelet and fitted it for the hell of it.

I'd suggest that a little more probing into the back story of this (seller creds. price, paperwork, receipts etc etc) will put this story to bed.

... oh, and if there was an "uncle" involved somewhere, run.
