Is 118138 still in production? How do you like the watch?

The day-date 118138 in green dial with green leather strap is, for a long time, my favorite watch. However, after it discontinued, I can't find it anywhere, not even on Chrono24 (only one).

But!!! I got a message from a local dealer, says that there is one in Italy and they can order it for me. This one is within 2020, brand new.

Can you guys believe it?

It is a nice piece! How much do you think it values these days?

I’ve seen a few of these at ADs, though not in green. They’re no longer being produced, but a slow seller some a fair bit of new old stock around. Good luck in your search. It’s a beautiful piece.

As an aside though, try to find it on a bracelet. You can always add the green strap later.

Is this being sold as a new item by AD or as new old stock by another source? Pricing will depend on list price. I don’t see this reference on the Rolex price lists for 2020. So it probably depends on the AD.

A friend of mine recently found one of these, pre-owned. In-person, it's a stunning look. Good luck with your search.

If you want to save a bit of money they also made a DJ in that format for a short time. 18k YG on leather. Not sure of the model number, but that would be a less expensive watch and maybe even more available NOS.
