A variety of Rolex clasps.
Three different metals and a production range of roughly 45 years. Some have had more wrist time than others, as you can see.
I have a vintage Jubilee not shown here as it’s not actually on a watch (I move it back and forth between my GMT, shown on an Oyster here).
Three different metals. Some part polish, some not. And many references represented; Daytona, Day Date, Datejust, Oyster Perpetual, GMT, Sea-Dweller and of course Submariner.
Some are sized better than others; you can see those that are more frequently worn have a “better” position of clasp (more centered perhaps).
There’s a lot of variety as you can see. Interesting to see.

You guys are both very much on the right track with that selection.
That piece is probably the star of the show. The DD, and that bracelet, may be the most underrated of all. Although the modern 40mm and 41mm Day Date does seem to have captured a broader audience.
Good post! I had no idea you had such an excellent Rolex collection!
Could you share some more pictures of your Day-date (including the dial!)? The president is my favorite bracelet here, and one of the nicest, generally, for me.
Haha, here you go. I have posted it once before a long while back.
Perfect size. And there is something to having some weight on the wrist too. The Date Date and the President are as I said above surely the most underrated in the catalogue. I looked at so many older Day Dates, most yellow gold some red always looking for...
I find these current
Oyster bracelet and the new clasp with glide lock very comfortable. They can be adjusted sitting well and centered on the wrist. I remember when I bought my first Sub with diver’s extension more than twenty years ago I had difficulties to get it sized com...
