First Rolex Purchase! Excited!

Just got this in the mail from Daneebee! Awesome seller.

My first Rolex purchase 18038 Day Date.

It will be on the wrist for quite some time but nice to rotate out with my JLC Ultra thin moon!

Looks fantastic! My most recent watch purchase was a used 18038 and after that its hard to go back to steel :)

Don't be afraid to change the dial if you can't read it against champagne, I did this and love the new white dial and gold hands.

You have a classic but advise you buy a can of gold paint for the JLC otherwise it ain't gonna see much daylight- once you go gold the others get sold.

Its funny that you say that because I was thinking about selling my JLC and getting the rose gold version of it.

White Roman dial and a domed bezel...

Congrats!

Thanks guys, I have a feeling being on TRF is going to cost me a lot of money in the future.
