Should I get this day-date?

Meanwhile I'm sorting out my Milgauss, when I visited my AD they had this used-mint day-date...

Because I was in a hurry, I didn't notice the size and serial... But I think it's
Rolex Day-Date 18238 seri E allgold band president But he's asking around 7500usd for it. Not sure about box and papers, but lets assume it's not there...

Is it worthed?



Whats the dial size on this again? 36mm?

It's 20 years old?! Wow that's very old... Is it worth the price they are asking for though?

I traded my one month old DSSD for a Day Date and it is a great feeling to finally have it on my wrist. Pull the trigger and get that beauty.

Andrew: Well I can't literally say it's an AD, but it's watch store that I have been purchasing a few of my used collections from. Around Kemang area. :)

I love that dial on the DD. I personally would stay with "K" series or newer because of the solid links (less prone to stretching) and new style clasp.

I don't know the prices of DD's, but that is one gorgeous watch !

My advice - check it out carefully by someone qualified before buying it.

The price is good, but it all depends upon condition, condition, condition. The head should not be a problem; however, a lot of the cost is in the band. Check for band stretch.

For prices, do some searches on auction sites, and TZ.

Loved my visit in Jakarta, it has been too long... I need to start thinking about another trip there.... However, Argentina is next.
