It's "Monday" the "1"st...and this just arrived!!!

Incoming!!

Rolex Day-Date, 18238, 1999 A-serial, silver dial with sticks, thanks to the awesome patience and help of Jonathan Marcus at Capetown Diamonds. Mind blown with this reference.

I'd like to thank many of the members here who helped me with reference checks on Capetown, and all said Jonathan Marcus at Capetown Diamond was the best, been around forever, and would work with me to find the right piece and would deliver above expectations. We spent about 4 or 5 weeks going over some various examples of the 18238, pictures back and forth, until I finally settled on this piece, which literally just arrived at my door.

I hate waiting for FedEx.

Wrist shot coming.

And some wrist shots and a pic of the spectacular President bracelet.

Any member's looking to find an vintage piece, specific reference, or even haute couture brands, Jonathan will absolutely take the time to make sure you receive *exactly* what you're looking for.

Thank-you Jonathan, an absolute stunning reference, and I very much appreciate the patience you showed me and the time you took to make sure I got exactly what I was looking for and had a great experience.

Going to really enjoy getting used to this classic Rolex Day-Date.

Great watch, I owned that double quick myself quite a few years ago but with the champagne dial. I like your silver dial better

Think I PM'd you about Capetown and you told me Jonathan was great to deal with - thanks.

Was just looking at the bracelet and can't believe the green sticker with the reference number and the plastic covering it is still on the back of the watch.

Is there a good way to peel that off without scratching the caseback or getting the plague?
