Some watches just have… “it”, this is one of those watches. 

This is exactly the kind of case condition I like, full, very sharp, very clean, but not NOS, this can be worn! It’s just a damn attractive example with lovely dial and warm tritium lume all in great condition. All in all, just a stellar Day-Date that I cannot stop staring at and would make any new owner very… very happy.

Case:  Excellent, very sharp 18K gold case with 18238 reference, circa 1988, R7 serial number, and hallmarks all very crisp, sharp and well defined.  There are some light surface scratches pictured throughout.  The fluted bezel is equally sharp, crisp, and well defined.

Dial:  The warm champagne “stick” dial is rich and even with subtle sunburst brushing. The tritium hour markers and hands have an even light patina and react consistently and appropriately under UV. The dial is free of any defects leading to an overall watch that has “it”.

Movement:  The Rolex caliber 3155 movement is a “double quick” set with hacking seconds, winding, setting, and running smoothly at approximately -1 s/d averaged across 6 positions. 

Bracelet:  The watch is presented on an equally sharp and nice president bracelet with very sharp hallmarks present. The watch has 5 screws and will fit up to a 6.75” wrist.
