[Uncle] Executive Bracelet (for the Rolex Datejust 1601 & 1603)

Uncle's notes

For several years, the poor latchkey kid I employ to bang out answers to your endless emails has hounded me about Datejust bracelets.  He scrimped and saved, pinched his pennies all year and withheld treats for his kids so he could purchase his very first vintage Datejust, an overly polished case with the most common silver dial. And in all of his saving, the poor bloke couldn't even afford to buy one with an original bracelet.

After years of whining, and in an act not unlike the Unjust Judge of Luke 18, I finally relented.  Fine, lad, enjoy your little bracelet.  But when these arrived, I must admit I saw the error of my ways.  Perhaps in my contempt for the shop boy I had overlooked a gold mine.  I quickly purchased my own vintage Datejust and soon discovered that I had let pride blind my eyes to a stunning, timeless classic.  

Immediately, I commissioned an Executive and Senator bracelet to be made, but I couldn't stop there.  This watch was in circulation for decades, and I knew that I would never satiate both the vintage purist and modern collector.  So I knew I needed both solid and hollow end links.  Is that good enough?  "More options!" I shouted at the kid.  So he came back with 2 different clasp versions - a vintage pressure and a modern double button milled.

For his surprising perception, the lad has been promoted to night custodian and is allowed to keep any extra spring bars he sweeps up.
