Wow. Yesterday I literally considered messaging you Bruce for an update on this beauty! You answered my questions. I love this watch and your perspective. It's my grail and I've looked at other brands closely as well. But the President speaks to me as few others. When I started my career in the 1980s, top executives treated themselves to the Day-Date. I honestly thought it was douchy but years and maturity have clearly altered my view. Luxury, if one is fortunate and so choses, is a delightful treat and regardless of reason, is a personal choice that I respect. For me, I rarely wear my Rolex DJs exposed. My two-tone is a personal satisfaction experience and I love to take a peek under the long sleeves. That's just me - so should I be fortunate to find the perfect 118238, (my price comfort range), I believe I would not expose it. I do laugh though at your qualifier one year later; "almost" a one-watch guy. Ha. You "were" a one-watch fella when your classy DD first appeared! Congrats and thanks for the great segment! And it's cool that you're indifferent to scratches.

Even here in FL, the Day-Date carries business implications. Had a client that wore a Day-Date for some 40 years. During Covid, I needed to raise my prices. He threw an absolute fit. Next time I saw him , he was wearing an 80s TAG. Why? It's hard to pretend you can't afford modest price increases while simultaneously showing everyone how wealthy you are. It also works in the reverse. Harder to justify your pricing to clients when you're flossing wealth in their face. It's a catch-22.

Great assessment. You’re right about the dd vs other brand’s full gold watches. Over the years I’ve slimmed down my collection to almost only Rolex, and that was based on just wrist time. Not because they are Rolex, just because they are my favourites as pieces. The Sub is my daily work wear. GMT Batman for weekends and travel. The Datejust for a suit and/or slimmer cuff. The only other watch I want, despite no bracelet is a JLC Calendar.

Yellow gold, champagne Stick dial. CLASSIC! I love it. My only worry would be the softness of the gold, but hey, maybe I could wear it daily. My own story is I have a Royal Oak 15500 (Blue!) for fancy, and a polar explorer for daily - and OK yes, I have several other watches that I don't wear much. The A.P. is super delicate, but the Day-Date can definitely be that one-watch cross-over. Fancy and reasonably robust. To my eyes, you picked the classic configuration. Mad respect! One caveat: Security could be a big issue, but it depends on your situation - it might not be that big. If someone takes my Polar, it's replaceable. My A.P.'s another matter.

A true from the heart review. Been following you for sometime and I can clearly tell, as I am sure others would be able to as well that you feel a certain sense of pride owing this piece. Well deserved and well reviewed 👏

Quick question I recently purchased the exact same watch. Usually I take my submariner on vacation but this time want to take only my day date. Would you swim in the pool with this watch? I know it has water resistance but still wanted your opinion

Same sentiment. I do find particularly in NYC where people check each other out a lot, that the sort of " Jerk wearing a Rolex" thing is real. The brand will never shake that but as an enthusiast I've come not to consider it. I just dig the watches I've researched, hunted, and came to purchase. BMW used to have the same sort of connotation but who wouldn't love to drive an M right? Or a Vette? Cheers BW. That DayDate is spectacular.

Does the bracelet become „dirty“ due to sweat between the links?…Heard about that but not sure…second question: is the missing easy link a problem? Thank you 🙌

I have had mine exactly a year as well . Agree completely .

It's gorgeous!!!! The best thing I like about this watch is the Roman numerals on the dial. Stick markers are 5/10. Roman numerals is it!!!!

I like rose gold and yellow gold in general but in two tone configurations . It adds a nice pop with contrast from the SS

Definitely wouldn't me my choice of watch but that's why there are so many different watches out there. There is a watch for everyone. That being said the DD is gorgeous!

The fact that there is no option to adjust the president bracelet is the only thing that holds me back from getting an Everose Day-Date. The VC Overseas system is genius, Patek copied it for the Nautilus. In that price range comfort is important and I wonder if Rolex will ever design something like the easy link or glidelock for the president bracelet.
