5.7mil 18038 - Satin Black Diamond Dial.
Hi 'Vintage Rolex' friends - my first new thread for a while, and my first Gold Rolex has just recently arrived. It had to be vintage, of course. I've been thinking about something a little dressier - to add to the other few sporty and more rugged ones. Something a bit glamorous, and with a little sparkle.
The condition is spectacular - this watch has clearly hardly been worn. Barley a mark on it; a "mint" time-capsule. Circa 1978, sold in 1979. Full set; inner and outer boxes, punched papers, booklet, corresponding swing-tags, 1979/1980 calendar card. All exceptionally well preserved. Hope you agree and enjoy the photos.

Beautiful condition. The black dial is my favourite for the DD.

Thank you - it's a nice contrast - the black and gold - I agree. There are so many great DD dial variants though. Then there's the 'bark' finish, too, which is awesome. I could easily get into this...
