topspin757 0 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) So after 2 weeks of waiting i finally got my rolex two tone DayDate from Josh at perfect clones. the watch is beautiful but the bracelet is very light and flimsy. First question is...is this normal? I understand the two tone band is stainless steel and gold plated but was expecting a heavier more sturdy one. Second question...where can i buy a heavier presidential style band. I'm willing to pay $75-$150. Thank you for your help!

Thenew1 0 Posted September 10, 2015 Yes that is a normal thing for these reps. its basically unrealistic to expect the weight of white gold or platinum from stainless steel. theyre all like that, at least the ones ive had/handled. the only remedy is to buy a gen bracelet, but wont be between $75-$150 lol also, post pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wdev 0 Posted September 10, 2015 Try looking on eBay, put a little effort in it. Plenty of replacement bracelets about. But hey, since I'm such a nice guy, a 2 sec search on Ebay gave me this result: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20mm-14k-Gold-Two-Tone-Jubilee-Watch-Band-Mens-Rolex-Datejust-16233-/201409705971?hash=item2ee4f437f3 Now, can we talk about my commission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted September 10, 2015 Don't worry, the watch is a fantasy model to begin with. Gold is heavier than SS- nothing you can do. Maybe a wrapped bracelet, but the new Subs with that cost $600+ !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deffo a difference between quality Not saying they are not better than rep ones, but certainly the ones from the 70s and 80s with hollow centre links are quite flimsy feeling. Especially when the gold mid links have stretched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they are quiet flimsy :P See, no need to be mean Seller Riyi002 on eBay usually has some nice bracelets, I bought a really nice two tone jubilee for my Seiko from them (with plated, hollow mid links ) but just checked and currently nothing in stock.

Stewart 0 Posted November 10, 2015 I have been wondering about the feel of the president bracelet as that is one of the big selling points of that watch to me. Sorry to hear it is not up to a higher standard. FYI you can by the gen 18k white gold version for about $8,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
