THE ROLEX PRESIDENT - Day-Date and Day-Date II 18238 118238

I know it's older but this video is still relevant. I recently just bought a brand new 18238 in 18K yellow brand new. It has the sunburst stick dial, and the diamond model was available. However I could not pass up the chance to have a new President 18238 vs pre owned. I do like the end links on the new models, however the 18238 in my opinion is much more elegant and sleek wearing than the new pieces. All the polished surfaces on the new models were brushed back in the day. Except the case sides. Less shiny. The lugs are slimmer and it wears less bulky. I love them both, however I would rather own a new 18238 than the new current model. The clasp is where the new model really shines. Other than that I would find the absolute best pre-owned version you can find. Or buy new. You really want to experience this watch when you purchase it as close to new condition as possible. And double quickest of course. However I would not pass on a single quicker model that was NOS condition either. They are just getting very hard to find and actually buy for a fair number. Once you get these Presidents soft and wonky, you can get them cleaned up and put back right by a real pro, however once you pay the man, and waited for months on end, you will wish you had just bought an excellent example in the first place. P. S. That diamond dial with baguettes at 6 and 9 is the truth! Other than one of the exotic dials, that particular diamond dial and the stick dials are my favorites. Keep em coming Archie

A bit bored, snowing here, so doing some research on the 18238 I own in yellow gold with the MOP Serti dial. You always make me smile with your over the top reviews, but gotta say the Valium, or perhaps the thorazine enema you took prior to filming this vid worked on every level. Truly sounds like you know your stuff when you dumb-down the high intensity emotions. Great job Archie, Paul, Andy Kaufman, or whoever you really are. Cheers and be well...

go 118238, it has about 20% more gold, and weight is what the day date is all about. it wears a lot more substantially on the wrist and also has a much better bracelet and clasp - solid end links, solid center links & machined hidden clasp.

Hello My Friend, You Are The Only One On KZfaq That Has Given A Proper Review Of The 36mm Gold Day Date President. No One Has Mentioned The Difference In The Size Of The Dial And Weight. The One On The Left Is A 18238 (Which I Own) The One On The Right Is A 118238 (Which My Friend Owns) , Although Both Are Considered To Be 36mm The Are Obviously Different In Size And Weight.

I disagree. This is not an old mans watch. I purchased a new one with the champagne/ diamond dial plus the diamond bezel and I am not even 25 years old yet. Its not an everyday wear watch of course but its definitely the best out of the collection.

"fuckaroonies" you're a great person, Archie, I can see that.
re: the stretch, this also happens cos most people wear their day dates like a loose hanging bracelet - which ultimately removes microns of gold every time you hear metal on metal clanking. wear it tight and it will preserve the bracelet even more, as well as not looking like a complete tosser
