pre owned Rolex Presidential 18038

By Paul Altieri

The Rolex President Day-Date is an excellent option for anyone who wishes to add the iconic gold Rolex to their collection at a price that won't break the bank. As an older-model Day-Date, the ref. 18038 brings with it a more affordable gold Rolex price point than newer references. Additionally, the ref. 18038 runs on a simpler movement with only a single Quickset function, as opposed to the newer double Quickset, allowing it to maintain a more affordable price. The Day-Date also showcases the iconic style that many pre-owned Rolex collectors seek in the form of a striking yellow gold finish, a fluted bezel, a dial topped with both the day spelled out in full as well as the date, and a semi-circular link bracelet secured by a hidden Crownclasp.

    Linen Dial Rolex Day/Date

    I ordered this product late on a Thursday evening and it was delivered before noon on Saturday morning. The watch was in better condition than I anticipated and all parts were period correct. The crystal was a replacement crystal and hands were also replaced somewhere along the way as they were the only parts that had lume. the tritium on the hour indices has long since expired so for the hands to shine brightly, they were likely replaced - I'm good with this as the watch is much more practical as a result. If the watch wasn't clearly from the mid 80s based on a different case design (brushed lug hoods versus current day polished), I would think this was a relatively recent production piece. The bracelet has almost no sag and the clasp buckles tightly. Very happy with this purchase and experience

    Superb site and transaction, phenominal delivery time. Some slight confusion concerning the special discount at the time. I didn't receive it. No big deal I would not hesitate to purchase another rolex from Bob's ! ***
