day date II?
Why don't they offer an oyster bracelet on the day date IIs? I believe this is an option they offer on the 36 models. I would love to see a oyster on a 41mm day date II in rose gold. Maybe this year at basel?

They probably want to keep the new line more exclusive and luxurious with the President.

The President bracelet for me sets the DD apart and makes the watch....Just my opinion. Can't really imagine getting a DD without the President. Also demand was never there for DD with Oyster so can't see why they would introduce it for the DD II.

Have to agree with Neil & Ken here. There's nothing more exclusive and unique than the President bracelet and to me it's synonymous with DD/DDII. Love it on my wife's 31mm gold datejust.

Does anyone think Rolex might come up with a way to provide for adjustability on the President bracelet?

They may be waiting to release it with the new butterfly clasp design?

Yes, President is synonymous with the DD for me too, just like the DJ is with a fluted bezel, and esp more so now that they have so dastardly taken the jubilee away.
