Is it worth it? Solid 18k President.

[John8818]

Hello everyone, I wanted to get everyone's advice and opinions about a watch purchase. The watch I'm looking at getting is a 18k day date. Now from my understanding all day dates that were produced before 2000 had hollow center links, and are prone to seperation of the bracelet. My local dealer has an 18038 day date and it is a really great deal, but I want to know if its wiser to spring for a day date with the solid bracelet. I've never come in contact with a 2000+ day date so I can't compare the bracelets, if anyone who has handled both hollow and solid day dates give me advice on this situation.
