Rolex
This 18038 is made to be worn. It’s in great, authentic condition and stands out with a beautiful, clean blue sunburst dial and matching tritium hands. The fluted bezel is also in excellent condition and reflects light just as we’ve come to expect from a Day-Date. A fantastic watch that deserves to be worn and cherished once again.

Condition
As previously mentioned, this watch features a pristine dial and well-matched hands. The date and day-of-the-week discs are also original. The case is well-preserved, has sharp edges, and hasn’t been over-polished; all the case markings are perfectly preserved. The lugs look good and complement the case nicely. The 23-link bracelet fits comfortably on an 18.75 cm wrist—theoretically, I could almost remove one more link. The bracelet has a slight amount of stretch; the crown on the clasp is polished, but this is all within the normal range for an 18038 and two links that sit above the clasp have little dents in the middle section of the bracelet. The crystal has a few chips along the edge, but otherwise it’s in nice condition. The watch runs great, although the service history is unknown. You’ll receive the watch in our travel case.
