Lovely looking DD, but it's not a 118238, though...
The 118238 came in year 2000, 2 years after Tritium was banned. The dial has the TR designation (and some TR flaking to the hour hand, btw.), and sports satinised lugs... the 118238 has polished lugs. The 18238 (and years back) and 118238 shared the same "old style clasp" for some years after 2000 (I believe until year 2003, F-series?  )... after that, the DD got a more solid construction clasp.
