but yesterday finally here, my one and only grail 😍 My first gold watch and a bit overwhelmed really so hopefully I can get used to it. 1980 Daydate 18038. In immaculate condition as it left the factory some 39 years ago 😊 Had to be this reference number ...
That’s a GREAT feeling

Thank you sir...

saw this watch for the first time 32 years ago and to be able to find this specific reference number in such condition was a bit of luck i guess.
Thank you sir..

I wore mine for 30 years before selling it. It took a while for my wrist to get used to no longer carrying the weight. Wear it often and in good health.
Thank you sir

Having been looking at DD for so long I was able to narrow it down that only the first few years (1978-1983 aprox) of the ref 18038, they were made with this slightly wider case.
Mine from 1973

say hello too, a special Rolex from my late Father when company's partners gave him on firm's 25th anniversary in 1973. I took it for a full service some years ago, to bring the shine and glory back. ...
Beautiful...
