Picked up a nice 18038

My first Rolex President and I love it. I can't stop looking at the blue dial as it seems to change from light to dark depending on the light. It has an 8.6 million serial with an excellent bracelet. I would say it looks pretty good for a watch from 1985.

I felt the same way until I tried one on and now I love it.

The 1803's on leather look awesome!! I would rather have plexi but the thought of having to set it is why I went with a quickset model.

Nice watch great condition on the braclet. I have 18078 love it but the band isn't as tight as yours. Mine circa 1980 6.4 ser #. Really like the blue dial !

Thanks everyone for the kind words!!

I was originally considering looking for a black tapestry dial but when I saw the blue I had to have it.
