Does This Look Like A 26 Year Old Watch??
We all know what a super seller DAVID SW is, but this time he found a way to traverse time and found me a Day-Date 18238 that just blew me away. I was on the hunt for a clean 18238 so a quick text to David produced this gem. Being that it is a "L" serial with original sales date of Dec. 1989, it is easily a 99% LNIB, it looked like the original buyer went to an AD and kept it in the safe for 26 years. My gain!! AS ALWAYS, THANKS AGAIN DAVID!!

Looks great. I personally don't wear or own anything yellow gold, but, if I were to ever change coarse on that, your watch is exactly what I'd buy. A true classic.

I have a 29 year old OQ and feel the exact same way. It's almost like they were saving it just for me!

No, actually it doesn't look 26 years old, although it is obviously vintage.
Congratulations.

That's a beautiful DD, and no, it does not look like a 26 yr old watch.
