for sure bro, 10K GBP?

@@WatchAddictionReviews yep

me too! it does go well

Agreed. I own the 228238, and it’s definitely sunshine on your wrist.

yeah it does grow on you , its a great piece .

is it just me or does that 18238 looks rose gold or a little wierd color then the 1803 yellow gold version

very true, I plan to replace the bezel eventually with an OEM bezel

wow nice

it scratches easy! haha

Yeah, the only one I'd wear. It's a status symbol and looks great on the wrist. One of the most beautiful gold watches you can buy.

Mine to plan jane🥰😍

guy probably hit it big! haha slots!

hey, yeah picked it up last week - two months she was gone 😩 will do a video in the future - thanks man for the kind words 👌

well the 18038 functions great and servicing it is just as easy as the double quickset, the only real difference is a quickset day

@@WatchAddictionReviews of course it functions great when it functions great. Do note that the 3055 movent is well known for "sticking" day & date discs becos it uses the dial to hold down the discs. It is a common issue for 18038s being the first first quickset daydate. Rolex only perfected it in the 18238. I have owned many many 1803s 18038s and 18238s and still do today so i can tell you very surely that 18238s are the best and not only becos they are double quickset. Cheers

me too i guess i can change dials in the future

I guess you should wear it a little loose. Have a nice day!!

the bracelet works for me in heat and cold, never had an issue

it was meant to be ! :-) , Yeah I really enjoy this piece, but I do find myself running back to my submariner in rotation with this because of its stealth plain look , the gold can be a bit blingy at times...its a good and bad thing , it is definitely staying in the collection though.

Yeah I definitely feel you on that one. My go-to watch is a Heuer CS3111 that shares its birthday with me 😄 Just got it 2 weeks ago

Yeah one of the most beautiful watches money can buy. It's a watch of many stars and wrestlers such as the Rock and Rick flair.

yeah, intake mine jn the pool and stuff also

i got myne with original warranty and original receipt for 10,500 not bad but tax can add a lot of money to that

@@WatchAddictionReviews So it's 12K USD altogether? I'm thinking of getting a champagne dial with Roman index

Watch Addiction Watch Reviews where did you find it for that price? I can only find them at that price with no box or papers

nice

nice, I saw one with sapphire on 6 and 9 on a guy at the terrible car rental last time visit LA

Exposed Biatch the Explorer 1 is a great watch id go for that over the new OP 39

It sure is!

i notice that too, looks just like a 1803 watch.

the 1803 is the same watch just a little bit less girthier and doesnt have a quickset date and has an older style clasp and hollow end links

Nellson88 thanks buddy !

had it polished twice! Good eye , the bravelet is better than any 18038 ive ever held :) - imagine if it wasnt polished itd look horrid!

@@WatchAddictionReviews This one is quite overpolished... Bezel isn't even fluted anymore and the lugs are very rounded. Would prefer an unpolished worn watch as opposed to one that's soft looking from being polished poorly

even with the original papers , it still needed a service , most pre owned watches are not recently serviced so best to add on $509-$1000 to the price

No, that is not the original movement...id return that asap

doesnt feel 39 years old 🤭

Say you paid $12000 for the watch .. Today, it would have cost you a little more than $300 per year for an 18K Rolex President that is as relevant today as it was back in 1979. I happen to still have my Day Date 18038 from 1984 I bought new .. I wear it often, but it's not my "daily" watch. It has been serviced 4 times, all by the same horologist! .. Cheers!!

I just paid 14k for one

yeah its a flat sapphire, its just raised a bit or pokes out above the fluted bezel

I thought they had holes in the case up until the 80s like 87

​@@jeremycoscino6009hi. If you're referring to the springbar holes in the lugs, the precious metal non quick 1601's in the 1960's and even the DayDate 6511's from the 1950's had the no-holes lugs.

depends on how many links are removed from bracelet

None are removed.

diamondlife stunning! enjoy it

believe 130-140

iheartlifejuicy this summer I plan on doing one of those

no

Jules Jurgensen has some cool vintage pieces, they used to make solid gold watches way back, i have honestly never seen the daydate model

around 13-14K now

im not sure about the gold DJs, but you can find these 18038 from 9500 ( bad condition bracelet ) to $12,000 good condition

@@WatchAddictionReviews which site?

enjoy!

more classy 36MM , depends on your wrist size

@@WatchAddictionReviews Thanks for dear comment.

younare right, dont wear it in a dodgy area , and yes many do notice it

This is true

from rolex after a year of ownership

@@WatchAddictionReviews how was the cost for the services by rolex? Was it egregious or reasonable? Do you mind sharing how much it was

needed a bew crown tube and crown, ans service , total cost $1400 about with shipping

prrhaps the end link is bent

a lot of people like to know how the watch looks on their size wrist

he had an 18038

@@WatchAddictionReviews 18238 most people say

haha would be a nice 2-piece collection

I have one very new

They want to know cost in 79'

Between 7-8k

yep

rolex service center NYC

Thank you 🙏🏾

dont remember

An 18038 with stick dial and fluted bezel weighs 63.4 grams. So the 115g weight must include the bracelet, which will vary depending on link count and wear.

really depends on overall condition , not so much the year, but way older models such as 1803 cost less. 18038 cost a bit more and then the newer ones jump in price a couple grand as well

@@WatchAddictionReviews Thanks a lot - it seems very mint this one like no marks on it really apart from just trace polishing marks.

try looking for one that was never polished with sharp lugs and a tight bracelet with all markings minty. The bracelet is a huge factor in pricing these, as they can stretch bad when used over and over by many people

@@WatchAddictionReviews Thanks very much.

I have this for sale in BEAUTIFUL condition 😇

The gold is probably worn or bent out of shape, mine is super tight, a jeweler can probably fix it- or replace the clasp

Stick a nylon blade into the slot that has the nipple (under the Rolex logo), gently force it into the slot to increase the slot size a little and your clasp will work again.

10,500 plus a $1300 service 4 months later from grand central watch

so im in $12K with this one

@@WatchAddictionReviews what does the service do for 1300 $

3 years later, they're going for $15k.

they used too yeah

@@WatchAddictionReviews I didn’t know that. I have the same model from 1981.

me too!

I have to check, i believe around 7K?

Inflation wise value didn't hold up! I expect that to change with the value of gold going forward.

there are many places from chrono24 to pre owned brick and mortar shops

there are 18038, 1803, 18238, and the newer ones with solid clasp, many different dial variants as well

@@WatchAddictionReviews whats the cheapest possible one and where to look to buy it

im tryng to find a classic tony soprano president rolex

@@WatchAddictionReviews there is also the 18078, which I own. It has what are called bark-finished center links on the bracelet as well as a bark-finished bezel. Mine has the silver dial, which I prefer over the champagne.

What song is it

generally watches tend to sell for a couple hundred more with paperwork, and people just like to feel secure where it was bought from, if the serial numbers match the paperwork it wasnt stolen

Really, you just cant fix stupid!

no the movement is not solid gold , lol

i dont think any modern watches are

for sure 👍🏻

indeed

yeah its called a day date but everyone calls it the president

thanks 🙏

i really dont remember lol

Not bad!

noo

yeah now there a bit more

18038 for 20K? thats way high 13-14 is good

really? havent looked

@@WatchAddictionReviews what year is yours mate,looks really new and clean

yeah, got it for a good price though so cant complain

not sure :-)

As worn by some US presidents

@@simong2007simong refer to it as a President.... no such thing as a Presidential....sounds stupid

William Stalvey misread your post thought you were asking why. But either way I won’t bother next time.

i wouldnt add diamonds to a piece of haute horology like a Patek, just devalues it in my opinion 🙃

its an 18038 from 1979

they did , they sell them in 36MM and 40MM

41mm too

no more

40mm is the way to go, 36 is female standard now. 80-90 era is over

DatBwoiXERXESdem I know LBJ, Tom Landry, james gandolfini, john madden, Walter Payton, mike ditka, and a host of other girly men wore the 36 mm day date 🤦🏻‍♂️

thanks bruh

well if gold is too fragile for ya... get the platinum! haha
