18038 from the early to mid 80's. I'd say its vint ah e, the onyx dials are stunners for sure.

I believe this is a blue lapis dial

Quite correct as many have mentioned, much more rare and desirable than the Onyx. I had my phone on ultra power saving which takes out most of the color

even better with color

18038 is a Day Date, but I do agree that these dials are beautiful.

Congratulations! Great watch and even better that it's passed down from your Dad.

Vincent65 · 13 June 2015, 05:36 AM

Yes, I'd say it's a vintage DJ, with a nice Lapis Lazuli dial!

dpa94114 · 13 June 2015, 05:43 AM

awesome watch, very hard to find now...quite pricey!

willang · 13 June 2015, 05:49 AM

Enjoy it!

one of the nicest dials out there.

Very cool dial.

Wesley Crusher · 13 June 2015, 08:44 AM

Nice watch! That dial is killer.

crowncollection · 13 June 2015, 08:54 AM

Laois dial very beautiful and vintage IMHO must be quite old as it looks like plastic crystals so pre 1977

Very nice. You have a good Dad!

kelvin0978 · 13 June 2015, 09:17 AM

Beautiful vintage!congrats

R.W.T. · 13 June 2015, 12:57 PM

Most definitely vintage.

Very rare watch in slow set if it is in fact a 1601 slow set plastic crystal which it in looks to be.

These were made for a very short time and fall in a fairly specific serial range if they are originally equipped lapis watches. Circa 1978. Very shortly the 16018 was introduced.

The holy trinity...

nick c · 13 June 2015, 01:26 PM

Very nice dial

PAM50 · 13 June 2015, 01:52 PM

Wow... This makes my day ... I apprreciates all the comments. I will pass this vintage piece to my son ...thank you all.

You tell a 25 year old woman she is now vintage and I reckon you stand a high chance of walking around with some of your bits missing.

The term vintage is well over used by WISs.

I agree that we need a definition because I recall someone saying a 1999 watch was vintage.

Regards

Very nice...I would say it's vintage. With every passing year, vintage seems younger and younger.
