    All my Rolex are on bracelet's now, I've been thinking of making the change to the strap on the Daytona, I wanted to change the bracelet on my white gold day/date to the president's bracelet but they wanted both arms and legs for that, and I don't trust aftermarket for quality.

    I was thinking of aftermarket. I would trust the reliability of an aftermarket bracelet designed in this century to an OEM from the previous.

    I'm loathe to suggest it, but it is an option... replica watch vendors. While replica watches are looked down upon, the better ones are actually of amazing quality and pretty much indistinguishable from the original real deal. You could pick up a top quality Rolex replica watch for $200 - $300, and you'll get a bracelet as good as original.

    Put the bracelet on your genuine watch, toss the replica watch! ;)

    My dad has an aftermarket jubilee bracelet with a Rolex clasp on his datejust.

    I'm not sure if there are aftermarket bracelets with Gold. rolexforums had some links to shops that sold them.

    I like the Submariner with the nato straps. A Blue nato strap would look good on that one. Or paracord strap.

    Anyone considering the Panerai Ferrari watches? They are practically giving them away.

    While it may not be a super expensive or extremely high-quality, I just received this watch. It looks nice to me!

    It's a watch that was sent to all athletes of members of the Big 12 athletic conference, and tailored to each sport. It is soon to be a collectors watch because my school (University of Colorado) is leaving the Big 12 for the Pac-12 conference. When I heard we were getting a watch as our Big 12 gift, I was not expecting this! It certainly has a great appearance, and is very unique and special to me!

    I wore this to a birthday yesterday, about 25 people commented on it. One of them just wanted it.. :) I didn't give it up.

    So cool, I have never heard of the brand prior to getting the watch in on trade.
