I will be celebrating a special birthday at the first of next year and have decided on a gold Rolex as my gift. I thought I would definitely want a President bracelet but the Oyster bracelet is very striking as well. Also I have never seen the gold with the sliver dial before. I would like your opinion on the President vs the Oyster bracelet. They are all 31mm. The model number is 278278

Like the President bracelet as well. The Oyster will show wear more quickly. I really like the silver and Romans combo and I usually prefer diamond markers but this works well.
That was something I was wondering about,the wear on the oyster. I have had a gold Rolex with diamond markers and a diamond bezel years ago but found it a bit “fancy” for my life style and ended up selling it. I wanted it to look more casual. (as casual as a gold Rolex can look)

I prefer the oyster. I think a solid gold Rolex is very striking & the president bracelet can be a bit too much. I have a RG Rolex with that combination & I feel like it makes it a bit more muted which I love View attachment 4912033
ITA with @Louish. I have an old jubilee bracelet on mine (a smaller YG womens model from my family), and i am shopping for an RG oyster bracelet larger mm. I think the president bracelet is a bit too much, but i have a lot going on with RTW, bags and other jewelry. . . Depends on your taste and your style
 
I used to have a TT RG/SS DJ jubilee bracelet watch & at the time my best friend had a TT YG/SS DJ with an oyster bracelet. The jubilee definitely looked in better shape compared to her oyster. BUT I still prefer oyster. The jubilee was too shiny & in your face. I wear a Cartier thin love on the other wrist which shows scratches but it doesn’t bother me because I know that at any time I can get it polished.
